Jace had recently landed at the isles though the boat ride made him feel as green a cucumber. The poor kid thought he would die from all the dehydration and all the lunches the yucked up. He stagger up to the river's edge, his stomach yearning for something to fill it. He carries with him a makeshift fishing pole to catch whatever critters swam within these waters.
The river, a gentle cascade as it slowly rolls downwards towards an unseen outlet. The skies sun brilliantly reflects in the clear waters, it is difficult to tell how deep the river goes. It could be a few feet or 20. It seems he is not the only one waiting on fish. Fellow birds flock in the sky waiting to dive in to skewer a poor unsuspecting fish, Jace can't help but feel bad for the fate of these swimmers but knows that everyone's got to eat.
He grabs a worm to use as bait before casting the line. It doesn't take long for him to get distracted, not by the wiggling of the string but by an olive skinned beauty. She too has come to fish, what a coincidence he thinks. Something about her makes him feel as if his heart has been pierced by an arrow of love. Her dark hair a stark contrast against such fair skin. Jace easily takes notice of the sword she has strapped away. Wow, he just loved the idea of a girl being able to fight for herself, good for her not wanting to be a damsel in distress. The more he looks at her the more entranced he felt. His stomach no long growled, his feet no longer ached, and his shoulders felt a little lighter. Something in him had to muster up some courage to talk to her. He probably looked like a fool for missing all these fish to stare at a stranger that he doesn't even know if he can talk to without breaking out into a fit of nerves.
To hell with nerves, he will set his fishing rod aside before cleaning his hands off on his black pants and walk over. Jace is a young adult with snow white hair and radiant purple eyes like those of a priceless gem. He has taken off his black cloak to give himself some relief from the beating sun. Jace wonders what's the worst that could happen? Maybe this woman will make a laughing stock of him and maybe they'll never meet again.

Travels Far had gotten themselves dressed up in their favourite configuration for exploring, limbs bunched and folded together with additional carapace plating to hide any of the red flesh, a long conical horn affixed to a hinge had been lowered over it's mask, this combined with a bony falchion-like blade made Travels Far look considerably less like some terrifying mannequin monster and more like a slightly less terrifying ivory knight.
The disgused faceless had been out hunting for some good food for it's companion and as such it was currently holding a decapitated bird of some sort, it had seen birds cooked in Trueborn places before but wasn't quite sure how to remove the feathers, best to get Kua's help with that they had figured. As they approached they saw a second Trueborn approaching Kua.
"Halt! Are you enemy?" Travels Far shouted at the pale haired Trueborn, sword raised in warning.

Age: 90 (appears early 20s)
Appearance: A thin half-elf, whose olive skin has a greenish tint. Slightly pointed ears. Noticeably wide grin. Dark brown eyes and straight black hair.
Her knuckles are calloused with little scars.
Equipment: A pitch black long coat-style gambeson and a kettle helmet. A longsword inscribed with runes. A pouch of medicinal herbs. A buckler with a long chain attached to it.
A clay flute. A pair of fuzzy pink earmuffs.
A thick black book filled with strange notes...
Skills and Abilities: Kua possesses remarkable gymnastic and martial arts abilities. Her kinesthetic intelligence is very high. She is also a skilled sword fighter and unconventional buckler wielder. Kua also possesses the potential for fire and holy magic. The mists keep it at bay, but the force of her emotions can occasionally overcome it.
She is quite skilled with a flute.
She struggles with complex abstract concepts and mathematics, and demonstrates no social fear. She has a heart condition that requires periodic herbal treatment.
Biography: Kua Redford was born with a disability similar to William's Syndrome. Her parents were overprotective and fearful Kua would never be able to live a normal life. However, Kua also possessed a fierce, independent drive. What started as basic self-defense lessons became an obsession with becoming a warrior so that she could survive on her own.
Kua was enabled by the King of her city-state of Whitehall, a man who saw great potential in her. He had her further trained so she could fulfill her wish of becoming a great paladin someday. Although there were many doubters and Kua's progress was slow, the king went to his deathbed still believing in her dream.
(It didn't hurt that the king was secretly her grandfather. But that is a very long story.)
Because Kua is a half-elf, she ages slowly. Bigots from her world believe her "condition" to be a result of her being a half-breed.

Kua was still getting used to pristine land. The vast flock of birds overhead, the fish underneath the waters, the dozens and dozens of weird bugs, it was all overwhelming and beautiful. It wasn't at all like her old home, where wildlife was often chased away or turned aggressive by evil skeletons.
(Though she had her sword next to her just in case.)
She was sitting on the inside of her black gambeson like a blanket, and wearing a linen shirt and pants. She kept her boots on in case she needed to kick anything that tried to steal her fish. She managed to catch a couple of small, silvery ones using a makeshift rod of twigs and vines.
She was surprised to see another person approach her. She realized it had been a while since she'd seen one of those.
"Oh, hello!" She waved with one hand while still holding her fishing rod with the other. "Would you like a fish?"
Her mental check list activated. The young man was dressed in black, which told her nothing. He had purple eyes, which also told her nothing. His white hair looked fluffy and not at all spiky or poisonous. That was something. He didn't appear to be aggressive, nor did he brandish a weapon. He was young, human? His fishing rod suggested he wasn't there to fight.
Hmm...
The most rational conclusion was that he was friendly.
But Travels Far didn't seem to agree. Damn. Could she have missed something? Did her checklist fail her?
She shyly withdrew her wave. "Oh, I'm sorry. If you're an enemy then you can't have any fish."

He stops in his tracks holding his hands up. "Please do not harm me. I am just fishing here and uh" he points to the woman. "I am enamored by her beauty. So hello. My name is whatever you want it to be, I mean sorry my name is Jace. Jace is what you can call me if you like, but I'm not picky. I would like to kis- I mean cook fish with you. I have some fish of my own so it's okay I don't need your fish" As the young man speaks the more his face reddens. His flustered jumble of words one might find cute but he sure is a boy tripping over his words.
He wipes his hands over his pants embarrassed that they have already accumulated a light layer of sweat. The nerves are hitting him, the butterflies in his stomach make him queasy, and the thudding of his chest thunders in his ears. Jace has lived a simple life, though his goal in life has not been completed. If he is to die here then that will be his fate. Jace is gladdened to muster up the courage to speak to this beauty.

Travels Far approached Kua, keeping a close watch on this...'Jace' person, he was sweating, finding it difficult to speak as well, a few possibilities were compared by Travels Far. It leaned closer to Kua and whispered.
"This one struggles to make speech" Travels Far quietly began "And it sweats like Trueborn in the face of an Old Master, I think that this one is hiding something...or has taken a poison root that captures the reason of the mind."

"Enamored by... my beauty?"
Oh, oh dear.
Life had woven a complicated weave for Kua when it came to romance. Because her condition caused her to lack social fear, Kua was... surprisingly uncreeped out by Jace's obfuscated overtures of affection. Instead, her heart sank. She looked at him with worry and sympathy. Complicated emotions pushed and pulled inside her. How could she begin to explain-
Poisoned?
OH POISONED.
Yes that was much less complicated!
Kua sprang up. "Oh, yes! We should see if he's poisoned!" She beckoned the confused young man to come closer. "Young man, please tell me if you've eaten or been stung or bitten by anything strange."
She put her hand on Jace's forehead to check his temperature. Her fingers were a bit calloused, like a warrior's, but they were also dainty and firm as one would expect of a half-elf. She grasped his wrists to check his pulse. She felt his shoulders and arms to see if he was emaciated. She padded him up and down to check for swelling...
She opened his jaw to peer inside his mouth with a curious eyeball. "Say ahhhhhhh."

"I-I don't think I've eaten anything strange" The thought of being poisoned makes him wonder. HAS HE BEEN POISONED? Is that why his nerves are betraying him? Calm down Jace, you're fine. You're not turning blue and your body isn't swelling up like a balloon. "I don't think anything has bitten me. I don't itch."
Jace seems absolutely normal aside from a subtle indication of sweat caused by his flustered confession or admiration for Kua. His heart races as her hands turn his wrist, oh that heart sure is beating. He will listen to her command and awkwardly open his mouth. She could smell the tree nuts he's been snacking on throughout the day as well as the sweetness of tree sap.

Travels Far merely stood, watching the boy. Prepared to strike if anything happened. Despite having no eyes and a pale cone covering it's mask it stared at this Jace Trueborn, planning for any eventualities.
Whoever this Trueborn was it was either a very good liar or genuinely a complete buffoon, Travel Far thought to itself though perhaps this buffoon could be helpful. Another Trueborn for Kua to get to know, and another that could be used in order to appear more...friendly to any potential settlements, most of all it confirmed the thoughts of Crown of Fingers, there were others on the island.
"Hmm...maybe this one is harmless..."
They would be another mouth to feed though Travels Far mentally groaned.

Although it would have been less awkward to deal with than infatuation, Kua was relieved that the boy did not show signs of poisoning. So that meant the only other explanation was...
Oh what do I do what do I do?
The boy was actually sort of cute too in a lost puppy sort of way. But... He wouldn't understand. Would he? She didn't know. She needed to stall for time.
"You can join us for lunch. And yes, you may cook for us. My name is Kua and this is my friend, Travels Far. He is a fa- uh... fantastic knight." She wasn't sure how obvious it was that the "knight" was actually an alien being, or if his true nature would cause Jace to flee in terror.
She then noticed the decapitated bird Travels Far had brought. "Oh, I can dress that for us. I'll save some of the organs for you." She'd receive the bird and then take it to the water to remove its feathers and carve and clean it with a small knife.

"A knight I see" Jace doesn't question the look of Travels Far as he doesn't know what knights really look like. He will bring over some of his fish before creating a makeshift wrack to hang the fish to sear them over the flame. "He seems quite adept at hunting," He says taking notice of the birds.
"Are you two traveling through here?" he asks carefully making sure the fish doesn't overcook. "I'm not exactly sure where I'm wanting to go"

Kua was able to pull the feathers off with the help of the water, and remove the organs of the birds with surprising speed. As she did so she said a little chant in elven thanking the birds for giving up their lives to feed then.
"We are survivors. We're far from the worlds we used to come from. So it's important to make friends."
While separating the bird components, she carefully crouched down to hide her actions somewhat from Jace's view. She scooped up the bird's intestines and other undesirable bits and cupped them into on hands. And then she shimmied over to Travels Far. With her back to Jace, she offered up the organs to him. "Eat them." She whispered.

Travels Far graciously took the squishy sacks of meat and dumped them into a hole near the tip of it's head cone, the reconnaissance form tipped it's head back letting the guts slide down the cone but otherwise made no sounds, no slurping, gulping or chewing could be heard.
"Where do you come from, Jace was it?" Asked the faceless.

His eyes shift between the two. "I am from another region not around here." He isn't sure what exactly to tell them. He isn't exactly sure what they are doing with the bird but whatever it is they don't want him to witness it. "It looks like we both come from distant lands. W-would you consider me a potential friend?" he asks pushing his index fingers together lightly as his gaze drifts towards the ground. His shy nature shining through.
How could he explain that this woman is a radiant beacon that makes him hear his heartbeat drumming in his ears. "do you think I can learn more about you, Kua?"

The radiant beacon returned to the waters to wash her hands, and then picked up the cleaned up fowl and brought it to the fire.
"I was a warrior." Kua said gently. "I was the granddaughter of the king. But he was human, so I outlived him. He was the premier protector of our people. And I wanted to be like him."
She started setting up her own spit for the birds. "I almost died getting my wish, but then something strange happened and I wound up here instead." She grinned softly. "I am very nice. Too nice. I have a condition that makes me too nice. So sometimes I need help staying safe. Travels Far helps keep me safe. But because he is kinda scary, he needs someone to help keep him safe too. And so I try to do that."
She set up a the spit to start roasting the birds, then sat down near the fire and started rubbing her hands nervously. The rest of her seemed calm however. "You were a friend the moment I saw you. Unfortunately that's kinda the problem."
