You see an odd person walking in the forest. They appear as a strange monstrosity that was clearly human once. Their ice-like tail is curled around them as a makeshift shield, and their almost demonic red horns have a strange sheen to them. The small avian and bat wings on their back flap gently as they move. They look around, confused, before calling out.
“Hello? Is anyone there?”
Then they say something to themselves more quietly, but still audible.
“What is this place?”

The person sees but a glimpse of red before a very green slime construct with unnaturally light blue eyes appeared in front of them, they seem friendly, but their movements were weirdly controlled.

Avery decided that he was simply traveling today; getting out of the backrooms was exhausting in itself without the bounty's he got already running out of their deadlines. Having a break was nice, so Avery decided to take his time between the next travel point.
He had spotted the person from high ground, worried for a moment that they were an entity due to their strange appearance, but he recognized the familiarity within the person's voice, and who is he to not help?
Avery, being the hunter he is, made sure to keep largely out of sight, which wasn't hard due to the trees, the hill he was on, and the high, mid-day sun.
It wasn't until he was rather close that he decided to show is presence, quickly deciding that this person was not a threat and that he had no need for his "red form." He felt his psuedo-skin loosen as he made sure his stance was wide, smile friendly, and muscles relaxed in an attempt to not be declared a threat.
"Hello, fellow wayfarer! Welcome to some mysterious, unnamed forest some-place in these realms," this forest had no name, and he hadn't been in this realm long enough to know any nearby territories; only that he wasn't in any claimed land. "It's really quite nice to see someone else in these parts! Are you lost by any chance?"

He extended his hand for a handshake, continuously reminding himself to keep his posture open and his smile sunny, over and over like a mantra.
