[OOC: Asellus is circumspect and cautious in this new environment, though there is a sharp and brilliant stroke of excitement behind all of that careful observation-- she wants to explore! To meet new people! To that end, she's trying to simultaneously project a sense of open friendliness and also 'I am completely under control, honest'. It's... not really working out. She feels a lot like a puppy, really-- energetic and above all, charming.]
I. Exploring Pentara Prime
It feels a lot like home, this garden-- all these strange and new flora with the same humid, warm feeling that the rose gardens back home did. There's a strange sense of nostalgia that Asellus is only learning now to come to terms with as she gains the understanding that she won't see the Chateau or the people within it for an indeterminate amount of time, and it lends a slight tone of melancholy to her thoughts as she (perhaps ill-advisedly) runs her fingertips over the leaves and petals of the plants before her. She's perfectly content to be lost in her own thoughts, which is probably why she either ignores or completely misses the sense of someone else joining her in this place until her ears catch the sound of motion within the sea of leaves.
And of course, her gut assumption is that she's overstepped her boundaries, and she leaps back from the flora.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't doing anything, I'll get going right away!"
She doesn't even register how these statements, taken in sequence, might not give the impression of truthfulness.

[OOC: I am bad at choices. Please feel free to suggest better options if your character might have run into Asellus, assumed CR or no. I am very flexible, I promise!]
