"It smells funny," Seika sang out loud as she stepped over another giant bone shard. 'The original bone it came from must have been monstrously large', she pondered, but her thoughts were quickly disrupted once again by the strong attention her outward senses had to her current environment. The stench was... potent, to say the least. In fact, Seika knew precisely what she was smelling- death, as blatantly present as oxygen in this place. Probably more so to be honest.
Given that there seemed to be so many dead things lying about, Seika was surprised that she had yet to be attacked. Ever since wandering into this place, she found a bit of refuge that was unusual when it came to Sin. Over the past few weeks Seika had spent in the nation, she had been the victim of many murder attempts and other nefarious deeds. So in a way, being in this pseudo graveyard of giant creatures' remains was a pleasant vacation from the tedium of threats to her life.
But it really did smell funny. Death was a weird scent and not altogether pleasant, despite the reprieve from worrying about watching her back.
Suddenly, a gigantic skeletal figure seemed to sink out of the mist, emerging right in front of Seika. She immediately paused, startled as she threw her arms up in the air and waved them in pinwheels. "Ehhh? What- I didn't see that there at all!" After a few more minutes of visible astonishment, she finally stopped the theatrics and cautiously stepped closer to the giant bone tusks.
"The only way out is through!" She announced loudly to the gloomy surroundings- this declaration was certainly not true, since she could have easily walked around the monumentally sized skeleton, but... minor details. Seika traipsed forwards and into the mouth of the long-dead beast.
Inside, it was rather dark, not unexpected but a bit annoying as now she couldn't see. She didn't want to simply walk down this passageway with no knowledge of what remained behind there. Furthermore, entering when there could be some unfriendly entity was probably unwise.
"Helloooo? My name is Taneda Akies, Seika if you don't mind! Um... can I come in?" Asking was always the most polite option, wasn't it? If she got no response then she would consider herself welcomed, whether that was proper or not.
