Elena tried to brush out as much of the hay out of her hair as best as she could, she hadn't talk to anyone who was her own age since she ran away from home she smiled slightly towards Riley. She could tell that the other girl was nervous or shy, or maybe even both looking over towards her own backpack which was slightly filled with some canned food. "It's nice to meet you Riley.." Elena said softly she could feel the sun beating down on her through the small openings and knew it was going to be a warm day.

"I'm Elena Reese, though if you want you can just call me Ellie for short." Her eyes scanned the barn and noticed Riley's backpack seeing that it was pretty much empty, Elena quickly felt her stomach starting to grumble, she had not eaten anything since noon the day before and Elena could easily see that Riley was hungry as well. Elena shook her head at Riley's comment looking at Riley smiling slightly towards her. "I uhm came in here late last night, I sort of saw you sleeping over there and didn't want to disturb you. I've been alone for so long, its finally nice to talk to someone.." Elena said softly.

Elena would reach over towards her backpack and pulled out a can of beans and handed it towards her, she had another can there and she could tell Riley needed some food and thought of it as a friendly gesture. "Take it, I really don't mind." Elena said as she took out the second can, and dug into her backpack to pull out a swiss army pocket knife she managed to snatch from someone several weeks ago. It took her a bit of time before she finally broke open the lid and handed it to Riley.

"So uhm where are you headed, I honestly have no idea where i'm going.." Elena had no plans on any set destination or where she wanted to go, she felt lonely and hoped that Riley would offer to travel along with her.
