It was always too easy to go a wanderin'. Especially when the air was warm, but the heat not too much and especially on the Beach. Kaylee could hear the music (music she were none too familiar with either), and she could see the glow of a fire - most folks here were welcoming, and when curiosity called her to ..just peer in a little closer the mechanic saw what she hadn't expected; and it wasn't just the green skinned woman either, there was what looked like a lion, not a baby ..but a little fella and she got caught up in staring at the furry, big-eared but most certain adorable beast.
"Hello there." She greeted politely to the two by the fire, offering up a broad grin at once, the green skin she saw made the girl wonder if this was an alien, like Trance though he gaze was drawn to the animal slumped still and calm close by. "Never seen a cat so well behaved when there's a whole lotta fish right under his nose." She commented warmly, not that she'd seen a lot of fresh fish in her life either before the Island, but none of the animals she ever owned would be so patient in the presence of food.
Kalm was sprawled out on his back, like an oversized house cat, silently demanding belly rubs which Elphaba gladly gave, with as little concern as she might have shown a fifteen pound cat and not a speck of the fear that a hundred and fifty pound lion should inspire. So blissed out was Kalm that he didn't even react to the newcomer's presence. Surprising, considering how skittish he usually was.
"Kalm knows that if he waits, he won't get his nose burned," the green woman explained. "Would you like to join us? We have plenty."
"That and I believe he's enjoying having his belly rubbed while laying in the warm sand, since he's spoiled enough to know that half these fish will be his." Fiyero added with a chuckle as he waved at the women to join them. "And even with his half, there is plenty to share."
Kaylee grinned just a little. "He must be smart as well then." Again she's pretty sure some of the badly trained critters she's had around her home would find their whiskers burned off more than once in the quest for a treat and still think it worthwhile. She gazed at the animal soaking up the affection happily, how sweet. "Guess it's proof even somethin' fierce as a Lion can be undone by a proper bellyrub same as a housecat, huh?"
She's welcomed by both, and a wider smile is offered to both, she wouldn't back down on such a nice offer, looking between the two. "Y'Sure of it? That's awful kind of you t'share." Even if she felt ..she sort of ought to double-check, she didn't quite hesitate still to sit with them, the fish was already beginning to smell wonderful. "I'm Kaylee." She offered out a hand to shake.
Elphaba gave the woman a smile. "I'm Elphaba, this is Fiyero. You're more than welcome." She didn't offer her hand -- part of her was still unwilling to expose herself to the rejection -- and just leaned forward to check how the fish was coming along instead. She'd leave Fiyero to be the sociable one. Elphaba's attempts at social were, what was the word, offputting.
As Elphaba didn't offer her hand, Fiyero did, thought he did it in a way that made it seem like it was from them both. It was a gesture that came naturally to him after living so long beside Elphaba. "It a pleasure to meet you Kaylee. Have you been here long?"
