Pointed ears? Now he hasn't seen that before. Though he may have always been a slave of company he worked for, he was not out of touch with reality.
He was still up to date on news and current events, so the phenomenon was strange. He hadn't heard of such a strange and unusual medical condition that would result in such an outcome like that of her ears.
Interested, he reached out to touch them, still not in his right state of mind.
The girl just watched his hand approaching, watching in confusion and interest.
This man, after all, had randomly appeared in her forest. She hadn't ever seen a person of the other gender, only heard of it.
Within this forest, the only other person she really interacted with was her mother, the only other person she lived with.
She wasn't allowed to leave the borders of the forest, but then again, she found no reason to.
Here, she had everything. Food, her mother, a bed, what else would she need? Though it was boring seeing the same place for the past 16 years of her life, she hadn't know anything else, so it was natural to her.
But yesterday, on her walk, she noticed a boy laying down within the forest ground. It was a path she took frequently, and she knew he hadn't been there before. His body was injured, told by the blood stained grass around him.
She immediately brought her to the house she and her mother shared, and luckily for the boy, her mother had been gone for the past week. This too, wasn't unusual. Her mother often left her periodically for weeks to as many as months at a time. She never question her mothers actions, as she was the only figure in her life. She only knew that her mother was often very busy and wasn't ignoring or abandoning her. She knew her mother loved her very much.
It was told that she would finally be able to leave the forest once she turned 18. That was still two whole years away, and she had plenty of time left to reside within the forest.
She saw the boy as an oddity, as she knew that her mother would never let her around another being that isn't her. Of course, her natural reaction was to tend to his injuries.
So upon seeing his strange action, she didn't know how to respond. Was it apart if his injured state that prompted such movements? Having never interacted with another being, she was sort of curious of his action.
The boys hand reached past her face as it slowly grazed her ear. At first, she had felt nothing, but moments later, she felt a heat develop within her. Her cheeks brightened with a red hue as she used her soft fingers to remove the prying hand.
It was truly a strange feeling she had never felt before. It felt oddly pleasurable…
Still, her natural response was that of slapping the hand away, but she held it in.
It seems that a lot of things were going to be learned today.
