Like usual, Ellie flinches as Yua suddenly jumps to her feet, the smaller girl pressing as tight as she can against the back of her seat as she clenches her eyes tight, half expecting something to hit her... but seconds later gains control of herself and shakes the stiffness out of her body as she hesitantly takes Yua's hand, her own burning from embarassment and slightly sweaty as she's helped to her feet. Nodding her head to Yua's apologies she forces a shaky smile "I-it's okay... I... understand..." she says as she slings her backpack over her shoulder and follows the girl off the bus.

The moment she steps off the bus and her eyes lock on the woods, she seems to undergo a nearly complete personality change. She starts practically shaking from excitement as she moves quickly for the brush, her ass wiggling a bit as if she was trying to wag a tail. A forest! An actual honest-to-goodness forest! It had been so long since she had had a good run in the woods... She'd been practically surrounded by concrete every single day since she arrived in Japan and it hadn't helped her psyche one bit. But now she had a feeling of freedom as she runs her hands over the foliage just off to the side of the path. A slight scowl crosses her face as she hears the boy talk, calling this beautiful place "God-forsaken" to which she just glares at him and growls under her breath as he walks away. How could he call such a beautiful sight god forsaken? Such beauty was the gods' gift to the earth. 

She quickly forgets about the boy as she just flops in front of a tree, forgetting the world for a moment as she just listens to the melody of the forest. The whispering of the wind through the trees almost drowning out the voices coming from the path. If Yua had followed her, she'd see a completely different person from the nervous wreck she'd been sitting beside on the bus...
