The small house on the block

Emerald was lost. Extremely lost. So lost that she was questioning how she got herself into this situation. In a vague attempt to get herself more used to man-made structures, she had decided to explore the island, specifically the towns and cities where buildings could ve seen everywhere. She wasn't exactly enjoying it, though, and this was even more true now that she didn't know her way back to the school.

However, after stopping and scanninh her surroundings, she noticed something: a house much smaller than the surrounding buildings, sitting peacefully amongst its fellows. Something about this house made her stop and think. If someone was willing to dwell in such a small house, instead of continuing to choke out the natural world with all these large buildings, surely they would be at least somewhat trustworthy, right? Thus, as her last resort, she somewhat timidly approached the house and knocked on the door.

Emerald stood in shock for a moment when the door opened, being very surprised to see the same new friend she had met in the woods a while ago. After shock, though, she heaved a sigh of relief - this made the task of asking for help much less intimidating. As such, she clasped her hands at her chest happily.

"Oh! Selkiris, hello! My, I wasn't expecting to see you! Is this your house?"

She then flushed slightly, as she remembered the reason she'd knocked in the first place. "Oh... Well, you see, I was trying to explore a little, and I... got lost. And I'm not sure how long it would take me to get back to the school. Is it... possible I could come in for some help?" She proceeded to wring her hands a little nervously.
