Darkest Hearts

As the cloud cover moved in Lydia immediately regretted her decision to try and find an elusive herb like trillium during the night. She'd had a tough day of herb gathering and was looking for a prize to make it all worthwhile. Perhaps that was why she was so insistent. There was also the hope that the bright white blossoms might still stand out against the shadowy tones of the forest. Of course the clouds over head were making that particularly difficult. Lydia shifted her shoulders and adjusted her bag before continuing ahead. A fog was starting to roll in now and Lydia let out a frustrated sigh. She just wasn't meant to find anything today.

She was about to turn and head back toward her den sight when she saw another woman not far off. Lydia hesitated. It was always dangerous to call out to strangers but she was fairly certain she was going to be spotted anyway. "Hello there! Nice evening… erm… sort of." She supposed it wasn't as nice as it could be. There was little light, the fog was a nuisance and Lydia swore that it seemed to be just a bit too cold for a summer evening.
