Veronica let out a small scream when the body moved. She stared in awe as the absence of hood revealed unusual facial features. "This is... an elf...?" She murmured under her breath in total disbelief. With mouth slightly open she stood there just examining the man's head, before a hand on her shoulder snapped her back to reality.

Alexa... She repeated the name in her mead a couple of times, as to not forget it, before offering a proper handshake. "I am Veronika, Veronika Maja Orlov, the elder daughter of the royal Orlov family." She chirped in a rehearsed tone, slightly bowing her head. As if trying to ruin her flawless performance, cold wind rushed over hills, scattering strands of her hair all over hair, causing her to fight them, trying to keep the long curls from blowing all over her face. Only now she noticed how cold it really was and her thin coat and white designer dress were just not doing a very good job at keeping her warm. 

Thinking, she took Alexa's suggestion to keep warm around the altar into consideration. "Um... you don't actually plan to stay outside all night, do you?" She asked in slight disbelief. "I mean, it's cold and dark out here - isn't there a hotel where we could stay anywhere near?" Having said that, Veronika optimistically took a good look around. To her disappointment, she saw nothing but hills and plains far and wide. Nothing. Not even any light in the distance, indicating that there might be some human settlements nearby. Where the hell were they? In the middle of nowhere? She thought about calling her daddy for a moment, but after a fanatic search around her pockets remembered that her phone fell out of her hand as she was sucked into the vortex that brought her here. 
She turned back to the brunette with a frown that indicated the lack of chances they had to find a suitable place to stay for the night and also the lack of fondness Veronika had towards the idea of camping on an altar.
