A hand lowers from the side of her head and wraps around the large bouquet of flora currently spilling from her arms as she trudges through the forest. Ever so often, a stifled unintelligible curse hisses from behind the flowers as her boots catch on root and rock alike and she fights to keep herself upright on her trek back to Gridania. She pauses and shifts the bundle in her arms for a moment, looking to either side of it with a heavy exhale.Â
"I aught to have been there by now..." She peers underfoot at the trail, only to find none and lets loose a frustrated grumble, several of the flowers shaking free from her arms. "And the trail is gone. Perfect. So be it. I will merely continue on and eventually chance upon someone!" She sets off once more with a huff, her feet making quick work down the side of rocky outcropping and further into the woods, towards the sound of water.
One of her boots catches on an exposed root, sending her flying with a shrill yelp and landing face first in the damp soil. She quickly sits up, spitting and brushing it from her face with a disgusted whimper. The various clippings are strewn across the area in front of her, lit by an oddly warm glow and she turns eyes towards it with a squint. "...A fire?"
