This wasn't the world that Rebs was from, but it held similar principles to her homeland. Things were out trying to kill you, you kill them first. You also could get killed by crazy people, so watch out. Yep, just like home. But this wasn't her home, no matter how 'optimistically' she would try to look at it. These creatures weren't aliens, they were dead people. That were...still alive. Growling and trying to nip at her limbs. Disgusting. She had seen people get eaten, she had seen people running from hoards. It hadn't been a week, and Rebs was already losing her facial expression of disgust from seeing all these things. All she wanted to do was get home, but how could she even do that when she couldn't answer how she got here in the first place?
The day had gotten colder since Rebs first stepped foot outside of the makeshift shack she resided in. At first, it felt as though the wind was just brisk enough to keep you cool, but not chill you. Now...she couldn't really say that. Maybe it was because she wasn't running around like a loon, but more so keeping her hands in her pockets and doing one of her usual directionless strolls. She was just absentmindedly wandering, and before she knew it, she heard something...running in the distance. What it was, she couldn't tell. So, as the curious teenager she was, she went to have a peek.
And she saw a boy running from a few older men. Honestly, she should have chimed in to help. But the boy was too fast (and possibly too furious) and before she knew it, the men were left behind panting and cursing and "god dammit you let him get away" -ing and so Rebs found it a better plan to go the long way and try to meet up with the kid. Didn't really want to talk to those losers. They looked fifty shades of, well, shady. So she went in the direction that she believed she saw the boy go, and eventually landed upon him. But it wasn't the image of a scared child that she saw...it was a child that was armed with a massive blade. And not just any blade, but the blade of which Rebs used a few years ago to amputate her own arm. Her little stump under the metal ached just thinking about it.
Rebs opened her mouth to speak, but shut it again. What could she say that would calm him down? To let him know she wasn't going to hurt him? Think, Rebs, think.
"Well, I'm out already." she began. "If you wanted to look at me, anyway. I'm not here to jump you, alright? I was just making sure..." that you were safe. A weird thing to tell a stranger. "...that those bastards didn't catch up to you was all."
