Eruca comes across him as she walks. She's taking in this place and its scenery, looking for work she might do, and glad that her title and her crown mean nothing here. What a hindrance it would be, to be treated differently than all the others like her. Completelt unnecessary.

When she sees him with a beak for a mouth, her heart leaps. Is he from her world, perhaps? She has to know.

"Excuse me," she says as she approaches him. "Are you... are you beastkind?"

She's only ever met with Satyros and Gutrals, but how many other beastkind are there in the world? She doesn't know for certain.
