Ellie shrugs lightly, taking a drink from the water bottle and gulps it down hungrily. It seems ages since her last drink as she savors the clear liquid, then dumps the rest of the bottle on her hair and face to cool down.

She blinks a bit at the empty bottle and gives Terry an apologetic smile. "Sorry," she hands him back the bottle as she pulls the wet hair from her face with her other hand. "I didn't mean to use up all of it."

She takes a quick glance at Hibiki, wondering why the two men were here in the first place and if they were any harm to her. They don't look dangerous, but looks are deceiving. But then again, why would they actually care why she's here anyway.

Ellie takes a deep breathe, and exhales slowly, aware of the water dripping from her face and hair down to her body and some to the sand, which gives off a slight sizzle before the shade of evidence disappears from sight as if nothing disturbed the mountain of sand.

"Tell you guys the truth, I was bored out of my mind a while back and decided to go treasure hunting. An old man sold me a map," she pulls the rolled up sheet of yellowing paper from her bag and hands it to Hibiki, "and this compass." She tugs the compass around her neck as the thin string breaks and gives it to Terry.

The young girl crosses her arms before her chest. "Sadly, the map's incompletely and written in some foreign language with bad translations, which he didn't tell me, and the damn compass only worked for a couple of days. And of course, I ended up," she throws her arms in the air in an expression of clarification, "here."

"Not a very exciting story I'm afraid." She raises her shoulder to show the indifference to her words, then a smile spreads her lips. "But what about you gentlemen? Why are you guys here? I'm sure I can get an interesting story out of you two."
