You greet her

You stand to make yourself visible and give her a smile.

"Welcome to my humble shelter, you are more than welcome".

She steps back surprised but answers: " Hello, nice to see a friendly face in these troubled days".

-yes it is. My house is small but I am sure we can share it. Can I ask you to stop any weapon to might have? Then I'll drop mine as well.

-sure, my machete is the only weapon I have. The rest of my belongings are some food bars and a map of the surrondings.

She makes a few steps in and notices your captives.

She stares at you and make a move to her machete.

-who are they? Why are they bound?

-I met these two a few days ago. They seemed friendly at first but they tried to attack me last night. I had to capture them to stay safe. I silenced them when I heard you coming, I didn't want them to warn you of my presence. I really don't know if I can trust you but I need to try, I am tired of being alone. Would to be ready to team up with me and try to survive? You can also continue alone but I need you to promise me not to talk about this shelter.
