Wine Vines

Duchess followed behind Segin as he carefully searched the forest floor for herbs as she had suggested. Her own attention was swept around the area as well, mostly looking up at the tree canopy but glancing around between the tree trunks too.

When Segin would reveal the flower, Duchess smiled at his enthusiasm. He didn't explain what the herb was for, but only that it was a little more rare. She wasn't expecting him to pick it after stating so, but she wasn't expecting what he did next even more. Her head lightly dipped as he went to place it along her ear, and in that moment she thought instantly of her first moments with Indigo. She hummed before he backed off, a silent thank you maybe, but she tried to shake the memory of the marigold behind her before she moved forward with Segin. Like maybe she was missing something about him.

As they continued through the land and on to their next one, her nose slightly caught on to a familiar scent of a fawn which she spotted nestled up along the foliage of the grapevines that ran down the trees. It didn't seem very bothered by them, but maybe it was tired or just thought it hadn't been spotted. Her head turned forward again as they trekked through the silent trees.
