Tarzan had been up on the mast, watching Brydan from the distance. His natural curiosity made him want to go out and look, but he simply didn't know what he would find, where he would go, and how he would return. He simply didn't know the area and wasn't sure he would have enough time to memorize the area enough to know it well. And so, he sat and watched

Wolfina, staring up at the ship, had seen Tarzan's silhouette against the sunlight first as a vague speck leaping between the masts. She squinted, trying to make out what the hell was jumping around up there - a really disoriented bird, or the ship's pet monkey, or--

"WHOA!" She nearly had a heart attack when Tarzan quite suddenly landed right in front of her, seemingly having dropped from the sky-- and then she realized what the thing in the masts had been. He certainly looked strong enough to swing between them that easily.

"Uh," she said, trying to get her breath back and kind of unsure of how to talk to the man crouched on the ground in front of her. "I'm Wolfina." She stuck a hand out for a handshake.

Tarzan blinked at her hand. He'd seen some people on the ship do this. They... shake hands?

He never understood why though. And... there was always something he wanted to do when he had met another one of his kind, but... no one would really stay still.

Of course, neither did he.

He took her hand and, instead of shaking it, he spread their fingers apart, palm to palm. His brows furrowed. "It... is different. But... the same," He said slowly, haltingly. His thoughts were harder to voice in this language. "Everyone different. But the same. Just like Gorilla."

"Is this... how gorillas say hello?" Wolfina asked. She liked this method. It was new, but somehow without the brash formality of a handshake. His hand was much larger than hers and even more callused - but then that was probably to be expected. "It is different."
