Ice to see you (Invite)

Cold weather was a wonderful opportunity, heck everything was an opportunity if you looked at it the right way. Specifically, a lovely test run of her unique set of thermal gear. She figured that having an insulation layer surrounding a thermal charge around her hidden within a big fluffy coat with matching padded legs. Now normally the fluffy coat should have been enough, but she wanted to be super comfy and warm despite the weather.

So there she was, strolling along the way without a care in the world. A little miniature version of her warming coat was around each of her small fleet of drones. She wasn’t really out to do anything important today, just to make sure that she didn’t really feel the cold, lining the hood was a worthwhile choice as it left a little haze of warmth in front of her face. She was giggling to herself and just skipping along when she spotted something unusual to her in the treeline.

It was a little cold fox, and was nearby to a bright light. Ruby quirked her head curiously and then started to ever so gently walk towards the creature. She also bade the drones to stay further back due to the noise they made floating about and crouched a little trying to appear non threatening to the little creature.

“H..hey there little guy, it’s okay. Don’t be scared.”

Ruby’s gaze took things in slowly, light reflecting off her shades as her head turned slowly. Noticing that this seeming animal had belongings. Or had taken them from another person in some way or another, got to think of the nicest option however and it was capable of talking. So that leaned things heavily towards the stuff here being it’s own. But at the same time, what use did a fox have for a backpack let alone the other stuff? Ruby stopped dead in her movements though, since she didn’t want to scare the little thing. Even if it was yipping at her almost aggressively, she didn’t feel all that intimidated by it however considering the grouping of drones that she’d brought with her.

“Uh… I wasn’t expecting you to talk. Didn’t think baby Earthlings could talk, or little animals for that matter. Is this normal? Or am I being pranked or something?”

She lightly rubbed her own cheek and gestured for her aide to come over and record what was going on, she wanted to be able to look over this encounter later on. Just in case, you never knew when something worth researching would occur. However, she’d apparently come to some kind of outpost. Not that she had been paying any real attention of course until now where she was. She’d mostly been having fun watching the faint heat haze in front of her face. She couldn’t help but grin a little at the concept that there was a blizzard coming and lightly tapped her jacket.

“I should be good, blizzard or no. I’m basically walking around in a lovely little bubble of heat.”

Her gaze kept sliding back towards the glowing rock and the locket. Maybe this wasn’t an outpost as she thought about it, but had some kind of different meaning for this little fox. She tried her best to look around at the little area and the fire that the fox had managed and it either meant that the little Earthlings weren’t useless. Or maybe this little guy was a type of Earthling that was just much more competant.

“So, what’s with the little powers source on your neck little guy?”

Ruby tried to listen to the explanation, she really did. It was just that the little fox wasn’t making a whole lot of sense for the Tuffle. Rather thankful that her now glazed over expression was hidden behind her large sunglasses. The end result of what he seemed to be implying was that he needed help when it came to getting the little locket into the little slot. She sighed and gently waved her hand behind her, the small set of floating drones drifting closer and joining her in watching this strange fox, the little orbs almost seemed reproachful at having been made to wait before she finally spoke.

“Uh, do you want some help with that at all? I mean I’m vaguely curious as to just what this strange glowing rock actually does. You seem to be having a little issue due to having a lack of hands little guy.”

She was trying not to laugh at the situation really, though she did crouch down, the snow gently starting to melt from her warm suits heat leaking out slightly as she smirked rather proud of her design and settling in with quite the comfortable stance while she observed the little fox. He seemed to be quite entertaining for a little watch.
