Ivis looked up at Ryan from below, keeping her bright eyes fixed upon the human's inexpressive face. She smiled subtly, barely curving her lips with a gaze that reflected a certain hint of uncertainty.
It was quite rare to see a creature of her sheer level hesitating when interacting so closely with a man of another race.
She raised her arm and took Ryan's hand firmly. The physical contact felt cold beneath his glove, and with a light upward push, she stood up right in front of him.
"You are an interesting human." Ivis said, evaluating his relaxed posture beneath the light of dawn. Then she immediately let go of his hand, breaking the grip with rapid swiftness.
She began to dust off her garments with both of her hands to remove the dirt and the grass from her clothes.
And then she added. "I sincerely hope that during this time we spend together we can get along well."
Ryan observed her in complete silence while she finished dusting the dirt off her sleeves.
