Oh, was this ever fantastic! Jhulsa had never been happier than she was now, out on her pilgrimage, free to explore all the wonders and mysteries the world had to offee. The mountain was fine, sure, but it was just one mountain in a great big world, one pride of lions among many. What was the rest of the world like, and why? It was the great question that Jhulsa always asked: Why? Also, how, but why was foremost. Why was no place the same as another, why was no person the same as another, why did anyone think and do as they did, and not some other way? Why did it matter? Why, why, why?
...a more relevant question at this moment, however, was what was that noise? Was that a voice she'd just heard? Dark ears swiveled forward, and she peered at her surroundings. She was fairly certain she'd crossed into occuppied territory awhile back, but that didn't concern her nearly as much as it probably should have.

Yes, that was definitely a voice, and a rather authoritative one, at that! They sounded quite serious, but for her part, Jhulsa was not particularly concerned. While not a daredevil by any means, she nonetheless lacked a healthy sense of self-preservation; she never really expected anything bad to happen to her. I was possible, she supposed, as bad things did happen, and so they could theoretically happen to her, but...that was never enough to keep her from exploring.
And when the voices revealed themselves to be two adolescents, it reinforced her assumption that there was no reason to be worried. "Hello," she offered, blinking impassive gold eyes at the pair. "My name is Jhulsa, and I'm looking."
At and for a lot of things. "Who are you?"
