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.
