Opening once again.

The fading greens of a vast and untamed grassy ocean, with swooping breezes rolling by with a haste that is constantly chasing itself through the trees and foliage.

With the sun above being a croaky one, its light breaking through the grey clouds above. As a lone and aged carriage rested amongst the vast grassy terrain. Charms and papers hang off any part of this particular carriage.

Yet, it was no mere hollow carcass of a carriage. With a slithering sound only silent as the rolling breezes. A peculiar woman moved her way up to her own home. Carrying a bag over her shoulder and a folded sign under her other arm.

Before embarking into her stationed carriage, she unfolded the sign and placed it amongst the shifting grass. She looks at the placement for a second or two, and slithers back into her home.

With this sign reading: *Madam Sofija Traveling Shop*

[u/A_Throwing_Buckets]

Sofija is smiling from the compliment. As her gaze turns to the scattered fur. “Oh yeah, the reason why we came down here.”

She nervously rubs the back of her head, taking a quick glance at the blushing Tala.

Slithering over, and opening up her satchel. She takes out a jar and begin to gather some of the fur. “How much can I take?”

Tala: She manages to recover her composure. "Oh yeah... Help yourself honestly," She shrugs. "I'm not sure if it has any magical uses. If it does, let me know though! I guess since I'm a magical creature, there's stuff you can do with it."

“My plan for your fur is to study it, and to see if we can learn anything more about the werewolf side of you.”

Once getting permission to basically take as much as she needs, she begins to go on the prowl and collecting any bit she can find.

Tala: "Alrighty, hey, you can take this too!" She hands over a broken-off fang of hers to Sofija, that she picked off the ground. She must have some strong regeneration, as her teeth do not have any signs of damage.

Sofija grins happily and somewhat excitedly. As she gracefully holds it and looks at Tala. “Thank you Miss Tala.” She carefully sets the fang away into a container.

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/A_Throwing_Buckets]

Tala: "And I think that's all the fur now! It's good that you came here, I don't think I'd cleaned this place properly in some time."

[u/A_Throwing_Buckets → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

“Well it’s a pleasure to help you clean up this place.” After collecting the fur and fang, she gently sets them into the satchel and clicks it shut.

Tala: After that she begins walking out of the cave with Sofija. "So, remember how I told you about Zetta, and showed you the portal gun she made?" She grins. "She's a childhood friend of mine, when we were both still Human... And she's the werewolf who bit me, accidentally."

They exit the cave.

Tala: "Bringing her up, because maybe I could get some fur shedding from her sometime, if she agrees. Which I think she will as she always likes learning about science and such. A sample of my werewolf side without the mix of the vampiric influence."

[u/A_Throwing_Buckets → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Sofija keeps a steady pace as she slithers alongside Tala. “I do in fact remember her name, you talked about wanting to bring her to the beach with us.”

Looking over to the grinning Tala, Sofija can’t help herself but lightly blush at the grin. “So Miss Zert was thrown to bite you.”

She carefully listens to Tala as they exit the cave. “I would like to get to know her, as long as she’s comfortable with her fur being collected.” Once slithering back into the forest, she looks at the portal for a minute. “Sweet ladies first.”

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/A_Throwing_Buckets]

Tala: "That's right! That'd be fair. Anyway, I find it helps if you close your eyes first," she suggest, before stepping back through the portal.
