honest mistake

Rœkia was in a sour mood as she trudged through the open range in search of Marigold before autumn fully set in. The woman liked to have a personal stash of healing herbs to help her get through the winter and while she certainly planned to avoid any fights she'd find herself in one could never be too prepared. Wolf soared above her, his keen eyes peeled for the sight of the brightly colored blossoms. Rœkia silently groused to herself out of irritation and worry. Aerie had dissolved about as soon as it'd formed. Peregrine had mysteriously vanished and despite her best efforts she could not find the woman anywhere and that made her worry. She hoped the other was alright and just suffering a bout of wanderlust. Either way it had felt like Rœkia had been cast back to the drawing board. A bitter reminder of how easily plans could crumble.

A mottled sky of clouds and blue and a nice cool breeze made for excellent herb-hunting weather though so she supposed not everything was ruined. As Rœkia moved past a rusted tractor she spied another woman not far off. Hmmm…. her tail twitched lightly as she watched the woman when suddenly it clicked! This woman had joined Aerie shortly after the first meeting though Rœkia had never introduced herself. Strolling towards the other she called out. "Fancy meeting you here. Shame about Aerie, hm?"
