A Lonely Mother.

Anna was right, a child would happen across her... As Susie had multiple times, the shared red forest was a place that the girl had come to enjoy wandering, as big as it was. The Huntress' lullaby foreign to her for the moment. Susie always attributed it to birds. She'd never quite gone hunting for the source. No reason to, if she believed it was an Entity trick. Today was different, today there were words.
Weird. The Entity never changed things in a major way, especially since she probably didn't know how.
Susie set out to remember where the building in the forest was, she'd been to it before, although vacant. She made her way to it, eyes widening at the sight of an unmasked woman. So this was someone's realm. How bad she felt knowing that now, after lingering in it time and time again...
She doubted she was in any danger, especially from another killer. "Uh, hello?" Susie called out, she could only imagine how she looked in these woods to the woman before her. Bright pink hair had to stand out in the dark forest. Maybe she should dye it blue, again. Just like when she was thirteen.

Susie squinted, confused... She had no idea what the Huntress had attempted to communicate. "You... Want me to take my mask off?" She asked softly, still keeping a little bit of distance. Just in case. What the hell could those words mean in that order, if not to take her own mask off?
Truth be told, she didn't want to. She didn't put any makeup on, and she couldn't tell what this person could intend to do with her visage...
She tried to study the woman's face before her, but the bunny mask made it hard. Dark holes for eyes, presumably more lace filled the holes. Kept people from seeing her eyes, and identifying her. Julie and Frank taught her about that. It's why theirs had very small holes, and she had made hers split like it did. Joey's was cloth, because he was smarter than the others.
"... I don't really wanna, to be honest," Susie called back, after breaking herself out of her thoughts.

Susie felt like she should be offended, and in any other situation being called 'small'... She would be!

The tall woman in front of her though, as broad and threatening as she was... Susie wasn't scared.
"Yeah, like... Five two. I'm pretty small," So quick witted. Her smart mouth would get her in trouble someday soon. It probably fell flat on Anna, though, considering the language barrier.
Susie nodded, shrugging. "Fairly new? I have come here before. Mostly the outskirts." She gestured towards where she walked from, she was also careful to enunciate her words... Maybe it would help communication. She rarely spoke to people that she had this much of a language barrier with. Joey's family was the worst it ever got, but even then she picked up on a bunch of French.

Now, when the woman chuckled Susie felt like a fish out of water. Maybe she shouldn't have approached- who knew what the woman's intentions were, after all?
But how could she be threatening? She wasn't armed, that Susie had noticed yet anyways.
Susie focused carefully on Anna's words, trying to push past the way she had chuckled to herself, and made no explanation for it.
"It's nice here. Cozy." Susie responded, much nicer than home. That went unsaid, though.
"Yeah, safe and happy here." Even if Anna would mistake her for a survivor, and attempt to kill her she'd still feel safer in this forest than in the ski lodge sometimes.
Not that they would hurt her, it was just hostile ever since they'd gotten into the Fog.

Susie figured out what the woman meant, finally. This was her home — Susie was to make herself comfortable, too. She could do that...She thought. She stepped closer to the house, following the woman into the doorway.

Frank once told her not to do things like this, don't follow people into houses... Strangers, especially. What would this beefcake of a woman do, though? If she killed Susie, she would wake right back up on the second floor of the lodge.

She stood, hands in her hoodie pocket as she watched the woman's actions. The way she didn't seem to pay attention to Susie confused her, going on to skin an animal. She should be running, afraid, but for whatever reason she felt an odd sense of comfort in the shack. Studying the building, the skins that were already laid out. They seemed stretched, and cleaned already. It was something she hadn't seen in awhile. She was too young before she was taken from the reserves to do any thing like this with her family.
"What's your name?" Susie finally broke the silence, figuring that was a good first question. Something easy to answer, easy to communicate.

Anna. Anna. Anna.
Okay! She got that, that was a pretty name!
"Pretty." Susie complimented easily, a certain kind of cheer in her voice. She wasn't succeeding in making herself comfortable, but she was trying. She was trying real hard. She wanted this to be normal, it was so nice in here. The animal skins didn't even bother her, she was never in a family of hunters but it was something that friends families did in the past so... It wasn't all that out of place to her. 

Looking over to where Anna instructed her to sit, it wouldn't hurt to sit down she thought.
So she did as she was instructed, taking the item that was presented to her. "Susie," Came her easy reply, and the return of a smile, although there was no frostbite on Susie's face, just bright pink rubber bands in her mouth, and shiny metal. Anna was pretty, it was something that was easier to see when she could actually get a full view of the woman's face. Since she was closer, here than she was moments ago.
It took all the restraint in her body to not ask about the frostbite, and the scarring. It was impolite, and most of all not her business. That was something she had a hard time keeping in mind, something that not having a lot of friends kind of fucked her over with. 
Not just blurting out any old question that ran through her mind. She could do that to Julie, Joey or Frank and they could brush her off, not feel pressured to respond. But others? Maybe they would feel like she was disrespectful, when really she just had no filter, she was curious by nature, and especially in a place where nothing made sense.

Anna was not the kind of person Susie should be speaking to, should she still be alive. She looked, and lived like someone that woods witch stories would be written about.
Ooh, Susie! Did you hear about the story of l'ours femelle! It's said that she stalks a hidden cabin in the woods with hatchets, and she kills cats! ooh! That's so scary! I can't believe people could do that... It's okay, she isn't real.

Not that Susie thought Anna killed cats, it just sounded like childish rumours.
Ones that she only eavesdropped, never got told them herself. 

Hearing Anna's humming was comforting, it was nice. She knew Anna hummed in trials, she'd heard that much at the campfire. When she eavesdropped.
She didn't do that much anymore, getting caught was humiliating to say the very absolute least. "Yeah, that's right." She praised the older woman; English wasn't her first language so she didn't mind having to tell her that she was right, or wrong.
​
When Anna frowned, Susie was worried she was in danger. This woman did have a multitude of axes, hatchets, and other... Items at her disposal. So you couldn't imagine the immediate relief when Anna finally spoke, asking her if she had to potty. She laughed softly; in shock. "Uhm, no... No, I don't. Thank you, though." She said gently. It was true, she didn't. She never really thought about it, or why Anna would have asked her something like that.
The Realm was a lot weirder than she could have ever anticipated. That was a question she never would have been asked back in Ormond. She didn't even know how to explain to the woman that she was , in fact, potty trained and it wasn't something she had to worry about.
​
So, for the time she didn't even try.
