She watched the dispairing she-troll with eyes slightly wider than normal. She didn'( say anything for a bit. "...it's okay. Don't apologize. It's just...a weird question to ask someone on a first encounter." Fyrfly didn't know what to tell this troll. She didn't know this stranger's blood, either.

"....oh. Well. Is there nothing you can do to help them? They migh just be ill temporarily."

She looked at fyrfly, "She's really sick and I came into town to get medicine, and she's been sick for almost a full sweep, and she's getting worse"
Serest looked down sadly thinking about her WolfMom. Then she looked up hopefully,
"Do you know how to help?"

". . . Not really, no."  She looked at the she-troll who was now on the ground with expressionless eyes.  She still didn't know if she could trust this she-troll, or what her blood color was.  That made things dangerous.  And she couldn't help her lusus even if she wanted to.  She didn't know what to do in those kinds of things.

"Oh....okay" Serest said and sighs, "Sorry I asked."
She stares down, tapping her fingers,
"...I think she is well enough to be okay for now."
After a while Serest looks up and smiles friendly like.
"So...do you want to get to know each other?"

Well, at least this stranger's lusus would get better.  Fyrfly was quiet for another second.  ". . . Um-" she looked a bit hesitant still.  This was a weird encounter.  Gog dammit, she wished she could know this troll's blood color.  That would make things so much easier as she'd know how to handle herself and whether or not to run.  Well, they weren't a sea-dweller.  That much was obvious.  She tilted her head and regarded her warily.  "Alright . . ."

"Okay." Serest smiled, 
"Well...my name is Serest Vantas as you know already, and I'm six sweeps."
She invited Fyrfly to sit with her,
"Do you like to explore?" she asked, 
"Sometimes I like to go out and...wait Im getting to know you not me sorry." Serest said apologetically. 
She looked at Fyrfly with her average curious look, 
she to wondered what her blood color was, but she couldn't tell. Maybe she was a troll that didn't look the same as her ancestor? 

((don't worry I know Fyrfly looks like her two ancestors))

Fyrfly still watched her warily and after awhile, guessed she wasn't a theat. Besides, she'd heard the name Vantas before, and new that they were also a bloodline of mutants.

She brought her knees to her chest, hugging her bent legs, and looked at the she-troll, blinking quietly, expression unreadable.

"There isn't much to tell. I'm Fyrfly. Fyrfly Uptona. I just stay here in seclusion, and avoid bothering ohers." She paused, tilting her head and made a sort of wincing expression. "You...you are a mutant, right?"

Serest had also knew about the Uptona's but had only heard of them.
She looked into her eyes, trying to read her expression,
"Yeah I am...." She said quietly. She wasn't used to tell people she was different,
Her lusus always telepathically told her to never tell anyone. 
"I usually am alone too, I only have two friends" She said. 

She remembered she also wanted to ask the question Fyrfly had asked her,
"You're mutant too right?" 
She hoped she hadn't asked a threatening like question, she was trying to be friendly. 

She sat in lotus position waiting for an answer
