Ordinary human?

Yep, before Eric was an ordinary looking girl. She was around his age and slightly taller. The girl had shoulder-lenght black hair and very pretty face with hazel eyes. She wear simple white shirt and tight looking pants, and as Eric casted a quick glance at her crotch he sighed with relief - there was no any suspicious bulges here.

"Um, hey..." - he waved at her still holding his wooen sword. - "Who are you?"

"Me? Oh, I'm just woodcutter! Name's Lily, and you? What are you doing here at this hour?"

"I'm adventurer, Eric. And I'm just passing by..."

"Adventurer huh? You know, this is pretty dangerous forest to walk unarmed and alone."

"But you're also have no weapon!"

"Well, I'm woodcutter so obviously I have an axe. And what about you? You really think this wooden toy will help you? Couldn't you, like, take a knife or something?"

"I-It's temporal! I'll buy normal sword in town!" - to Eric's credit he did tried to take large knife from kitchen with himself, but his mom didn't allowed him, so he had to take a wooden sword.

"Okay, okay. I get it, no need to shout. Anyway it's gonna be pretty dark soon, so how about coming with me to my camp?"
