Indeed, though it was less reckless courage and more of a will to survive, really. Whatever got them already proved hiding was likely to be ineffective if it could just pluck them out. So the only thing left was to grin, bear it, and bluff her hand if she could. Thankfully, though, it seemed as though their perilous trek would be coming to an end. And Lo and behold, Wu was waiting for them at the entrance.

[color=f6989d]"WU!"[/color] Zasada laughed brightly upon seeing the other operative. As soon as he walked over to give her a slap on the shoulder, her grin widened and gave him a light pat on the chest. [color=f6989d]"Exciting a word for it, haahah! Glad to see you didn't bite it, maybe the little birdie will stop crying, heheh!"[/color] She chuckled, offering a grin to Ibon, though turned her attention back towards the situation as she joined the others in Riventor.

The hostile glares of the inhabitants were not lost on her, though she did mostly ignore them. No reason to get in a tizzy about that just yet. Being suspicious of outsiders was something that was more or less human nature as far as she cared. She was, however, curious as to why Ibon mentioned something about a smell. She hadn't smelled anything whatsoever.

Odd. Judging from everyone elses' reactions, she was the only one who was unaffected.

While the others continued to attempt interacting with others, she kept her mouth shut and eyes on her surroundings, looking for any signs of danger. Eventually they reached someone willing to talk. Which, was honestly, suspicious in and of itself. In a town full of strangers unwilling to speak with them, then why was this one okay with it? Hm, perhaps she was just being suspicious.

[color=f6989d]"Privet, friend."[/color] Zasada replied with a grin. [color=f6989d]"We are simply some humble researchers from the Haynek Institute. Crash landed thanks to some bad weather and some of our operators missing."[/color] She kept her hands in her pockets as she spoke. [color=f6989d]"Mhm, and if I might inquire, my comrades here seem to smell something most foul! You wouldn't happen to know what that is would you?"[/color]
