Nessa bit her tongue as she was asked about who she was, she had to choose her next words wisely- Either this human would attack her, or she'd show kindness.. Or, as humans were rather sporadic, something else.

"My name is Ness." She started, moving her hand away from the cage- accidentally unlocking it. "I mean you no harm, I promise. My ship just crashed, It's dead." She spoke calmly, her lilac skin sparkling in the sunlight.

The cage swung open after Nessa stopped speaking, a creature quickly darting out of the cage and moving to climb up her back and sat on Ness' shoulder.
The creature was a weird cross between a Raccoon and a German shepherd pup; it's ears stuck upwards listening to sounds, It's soft green fur laced with darker green patterns, much like on a Raccoon. It's body shape was a weird mix of both, it was about the size of a raccoon; if not a bit bigger. It had puppy like hind legs and paws, but it had raccoon like hands; capable of carrying things much like any sentient race.
Nessa tried to grab the creature as it climbed up to sit on her shoulder, stopping as it seemed to settle over its owners shoulders with a sway of a long, striped tail. "Ra!" Nessa hissed towards her companion, who gave a chirrup in response.
