Her stance was rather stiff, most likely because she was cautious about this creature before her. Which was understandable; this was an entirely new life form and there was no way to find out its behaviors without observing it face to face.
Once you’re done, come back, she continued to mumble, brows furrowed in thought. Slowly, carefully, she reached a hand out to its face. It was docile, it seemed, as it didn’t try to attack her at first contact. She relaxed a little. There’s still a few things I need you to do for me.
She waved her hand to shoo you away.
