"I was welcoming another unknown guest, as he is approaching my humble house. Yes, I've lived in this magical forest for quite some time now. I find it the most peaceful place on this earth, wouldn't you agree?"

"I suppose..." While she had sheathed her sword, Serena's hand still hovered slightly in case something unexpected comes from either this girl or this "other guest she mentioned". Still, the emptiness is a little relaxing. At the very least, she was sure that only she, this girl and the "other guest" are the only creatures around so far.

"A little unnerving but I can see why some will prefer living here. At least you'll be far from the chaos of the kingdom." Serena finally rests her hand, away from the hilt of her blade. The other person she mentioned seemed to have emerged from hiding as well, introducing himself to them.

"T-The name's Percivale."

The man's voice was a little shaky though his visage seems to say otherwise. If anything, he seemed to look the most threatening out of all of them. "You don't seem like you're from around here..." Once again, Serena poised to re-draw her sword but the man carried on.

"I had been wandering through the forest for quite a while, and I was hoping to find some shelter..."

A lost traveler. A mercenary perhaps though it didn't seem like he was sent in to hinder their expedition. Hers, at least, since she separated from the main force that was to depart for the sword. Serena finally lowered her guard. It was the middle of the forest and given that the two of them appear to be lost, there's really no reason for them to fight here. Nothing to lose yet nothing to gain for the both of them.

"Ah right! The sun's almost setting soon..." Serena looked back at the forest girl they met. Could she be the rumored witch of the forest? Whatever the case, it didn't seem like anyone had been coming in here which plays to her advantage.

"Dear traveller, would you mind telling me your name? If you want you can sit down and have some tea, the herbs that grow here are absolutely marvelous."

"Oh! Forgive me. The ambiance seemed to make me lose my manners." Serena took a bow in front of the two, without taking off her helm. Just then she realized: what if they were allied with Roune? Two against one will be difficult in this place. Maybe it's best not to give away her status in Valein? No. Lying would only taint her reputation and dignity as a knight. Perhaps she could withdraw some details? But what would she let them know and what will she keep a secret? Deciding would take too long so she settled for giving her account of what she perceives happened back at Valein.

"I am Serena R. Everild, a vagrant knight of Valein." She realized that by then, she would've been considered a deserter. Maybe even losing her status as a knight. The only honor left now is that she take the sword and deliver it to the king in order to save her homeland. Maybe this way, she can save herself too. But right now, she'll need to find a way to stay on good terms with the seemingly neutral parties she'll encounter. "And yes, I think I'll take your offer, thank you. If you please--" Serena takes out some bread she brought along and offered them to the girl and Percivale.

"It's not much but, I hope you find it a fair trade Lady--?" Serena trailed off a bit at the end, realizing that she didn't know the girl's name.
