The kicker is that she finally made it, discovered the crater where a star really had crashed into the earth, only to be kept away by creatures she ought to have squashed under her boot. Instead she barely got away before they could set her ablaze.
Now she sits atop a mossy boulder twisting a still-smoking braid in her hands. The parts of her that aren't covered in mud are dusted with ash. She greets the approaching newcomer with a roll of her eyes. ]

Yet after hours out here on her own, part of her is relieved to see another person, and it's that part that decides to warn him. ] You might wanna step back. Those little things might look cute but they pack a helluva punch.
