[Despite the username, it's not Beowulf himself that appears on the feed. But an unearthly, beautiful woman. Smiling teasingly, seductively at the feed, her fair hair braided with a few locks falling down the sides of her cheeks. Green eyes stared captivating at whoever happened to pop in.]

I'm feeling incredibly lonely tonight. Would there happen to be anyone willing to keep me company for a bit~?

[The voice was cool and calm. Like a light breeze brushing against leaves.]

[Action]

[Sometime later a somewhat annoyed looking Beowulf could be spotted carrying bags of clothing and snacks with that same, seductive woman clinging to his arm. Giggling and looking like she was having the time of her life.

Do you approach?]

[ooc: Basically his familiar decided to play a little prank after getting a little miffed that he hasn't introduced her yet. As a side note, I'm still forced to use my phone for internet so replies are gonna be a bit slow and probably not all that large.]

[He probably could, and would, punch a fantasy deer to death. Among other things. This is still the same guy that faced off against multiple monsters by himself before he was a servant.]

Mm, I wouldn't say no. So long as you don't mind her tagging along.

[He gestures to the woman.]

[fujimaru]

[ Well, since he's introducing it--Ritsuka finally looks to the woman herself, cocking her head. ]

I don't mind at all... hi, I'm Ritsuka. Me and Beowulf go back a bit.

[ She offers her hand, because--why not? It's polite, right? This is a western city, with more western conventions. ]

[beewulf]

Have you...? I'm a little jealous then. You can call me Eik, his familiar.

[There was a small curtsey before she takes Ritsuka's hand. Her own grip was light and soft and warm. Like really soft moss or soil.]

[fujimaru]

--Oh!

[ She's surprised by the revelation, but her handshake is steady and calm. That puts things in a whole new light. ]

Nice to meet you, Eik. Sorry, I didn't know some of you could talk. Mine can't. I think.

[ Hers is not here; hers is asleep in a weird little deer loaf on her bed back at the inn. ]

[beewulf]

Not all of them are capable of it.

[Let's face it, if a deer starts talking to you, you might need to nope on out of there.]

She's a Huldra, sort of like a tree spirit. If you want to hunt, fish, or forage it'd be a good idea to take her along.

[fujimaru]

[ Look... Disney movies were definitely a part of her childhood. There's a part of her that kind of hopes that her familiar will talk to her someday. If it happens, she's already promised herself to not name it Bambi.

For now, though, she brightens further. ]

Oh! Yeah, I've heard that the forest can be kind of tricky--in that case, I'll be in your care! The both of you!

[ So her plans to get Beowulf some time away from his clingy friend have been derailed--but this probably is still fine, right? Hunting and otherwise traipsing around the woods is probably preferable to casual shopping.

And there's the bonus of there being food at the end. ]
