Fleur's ears perked up when she saw him offer the fruit that had fallen out of her hands. Her small pale hands went to grasp the fruit and they slightly touched Connor's hands. She took a small bite out of the fruit as she heard another's voice. It was almost instinct for her to run and hide behind the nearest person or thing, which just happened to be Conner. Her ears were flat against her head as she hid behind the new person named Connor. She noticed what she was doing and then backed up, beginning to eat the fruit, trying to act as if nothing happened.

When the male began to walk north, Fleur followed. He was different. Unlike all the other adults who would throw things at her, he actually helped her. She followed behind him, looking at her surroundings. They passed a river and other fruit trees until they came to the vacant bathing hole that the Naturan used.
