The sound of clouds rumbling, and a brief flash of light made Eleni look to her left, gently craning her neck and smiling; the rain had picked up again, the milder pitter patter on the leaves having now turned into a forceful downpour that the resident greenery was unable to spring back from. She was used to this weather by now, having seen it, and been drenched in it a number of times, but every single time, the gentle sound of the rain and the scent of the wet mud made her chest well up with a giddy feeling.
Gazing into the bright fire radiating warmth and life with half open eyes, she leisurely took a sip of milk tea from the fine cup clasped in her hands, eyes glazed over from the relaxing atmosphere. Another sip and she felt the world just disappear; a deep breath and a stretch later, the fatigue and the sore muscles from all the harvesting were gone as well. She closed her eyes, shutting out all sound, her ears drooping peacefully, tail swaying once then going semi limp.
A sing song voice made her eyes jolt open, and her ears went upright, processing what information they had received in her state of trance. Upon looking at the bubbly blue eyed blonde, who seemed to exude happiness, she beamed warmly and nodded in response. "A good afternoon to you too. And please, I'd very much appreciate the company. There's a limit to how much one can keep themselves busy staring into a fire."
Then, grinning, she held out her hand, now quite warm from having been in contact with the cup of tea, to the Hyuran woman.
"I'm C'eleni Meztli, but just Eleni will suffice. It's nice to meet you!"
