Aquila frowned and darted quicker out in the dark. Every little movement made her feel the weight of her wand and think how long it would take even that simple incantation to get it out. But another rustle in the looming trees made her rub her wrists in worry, taking a few steps back to stare uncertainly in the direction of the newest sound.

Tetrap had been walking around for a while, scavenging for food for his lusus. His jacket zipped up to hide his symbol, he felt a small bit more secure. Once he had captchalogued enough, he got up feeling confident.
That confidence was lost when he tripped over a tree root and fell through the bushes landing at some indigo blood's feet. Dear god don't let her be one of those subjuggulators that would kill him without even knowing his blood color.
"Um, hi?"

There was little time to think before she had let out the small incantation, whipping out her wand in instant self defense. But it fell from her hand in a minor lapse of judgement.
She tilted her head to the side and stared down at the other troll before her feet. Of course, everyone she would run into out here would be lower than her. But she couldn't tell where he stood. It took a few extra minutes before she said anything.
"...Hello?"

Okay, she didn't seem homicidal yet. That was a good sign. Tetrap still remained wary though.
"Sorry, I tripped. I didn't startle you too much did I?"
One awkward laugh later, he was attempting to stand up straight, making sure that his zipper remained secure up to his neck.

She watched him cautiously and curiously. It was hard to tell without his symbol out in the open. Though Aquila wasn't a stickler for the rules of the spectrum, it did bother her not knowing where he was.
"No..." After a moment, she leaned forward a little and offered her hand. That was a nice thing to do, wasn't it? "Why did you.. trip?"

He took her hand, smiling a bit due to her kindness. Getting to his feet he gave a thank you and steadied himself.
"Well I got into a fight with that tree root over there and lost. I think he'll leave me alone for now."
Smile still standing on his face, he pulled a twig out of his hair. It must have gotten in there when he fell flat on his face like a total wimp.

She watched him straighten himself out before letting go of his hands. It took her a bit but she stopped freaking out in her mind.
"Oh, um..." Aquila twisted her lips in a confused smile. The look on her face was mix of amusement and confusion. She didn't quite understand him, but she played along. "Hope it says that way."
A hand pressed to her mouth to hide her quirking lips while she watched him. But after a moment, she frowned again. "Who?"

"The tree. I was trying to make a joke but I guess it wasn't funny so I'll just stop now."
Yet another awkward laugh escaped his lips. Wow Tetrap, way to go. You win the socially awkward award. Where's the gold star that says "You tried"?
"Oh um, you dropped your stick thing."
Trying to actually do something right, he bent over and picked it up for her.

"I.. Don't think good at understand jokes?" She frowned, trying to form the right words before shrugging and figuring that was enough.
Aquila frowned at his wording. "Wand," she corrected and then held her hand out for it when he went to pick it up. Whether or not he was a danger to her, there were still other things. And she didn't want to deal with it without her most trusty wand.

"I...." What? What? "I don't really know how to respond to that." Okay, best to be quiet about her way of speaking. Something told him that if he said anything rude a certain fruit-obsessed bastard would stick a pineapple where it didn't belong.
"Oh. Wand. Excuse me." Tetrap dropped the stick into her hand, kind of iffy on whether or not that was a smart move. It could either get him in her good side or she might end up mercilessly culling him. Well, let's too late to reconsider!
"So, who are you?"

She frowned at him but shrugged in reply to his statement. It wasn't like the indigo blood didn't know the way she talked confused some (most) people. But there wasn't really a way for her to fix it.
Her frown ran deeper but she recaptchalouged the wand, eyeing him while she muttered under her breath. "Excused," her reply came quietly though still with some confused eyeing.
"'M Aquila," she stuck out her hand, this time in hopes of a greeting gesture. "You..?"

Awkward chuckle alert.
"I'm Tetrap. Tetrap Harmok." He held his hand out again for a handshake. "Nice to meet you Aquila."

A slight snort before she shook his hand.
"Tetrap..." Her lips blossomed into a smile. "Nice to meet you too!"
