A Small Break From Magical Things

Living alongside Deimos had become overwhelming and so Ikigai decided that she needed a break. After notifying Manea and Alastor that she would be taking a little trip, the black marked fae collected her pack and her companions and made her way out into the world. With Tanuki and Willa at her side, Iki knew she would be safe. The big, albino akita wouldn't let anything happen to her and she was pretty sure Willa would gouge something's eyes out if it came at her.

The trio moved along the cliffs, a gentle breeze ruffling Iki's long coat. Here and there she stopped to inspect various plants, cutting a few and simply smelling others. Into her little satchel they went. Elysium didn't really need more herbs since she'd brought so many with her. Irilyth had plenty in her stores as well. All of this was a reason to get Iki out of the house for a bit. Some time to breathe and think.

The woman's mercuric gaze landed on the form of another wolf. This wolf also seemed to be collecting herbs. As she came closer, she realized that it was none other than Seere. "Hello, Seere," the leggy woman spoke in her soft tones. "Collecting plants?" She pointed out the obvious, but was simply trying to be friendly. "Let's see what you have so far." Ikigai inspected the plants that the younger wolf had collected and nodded her approval. She then opened up her own pack and began sorting through, adding various things to Seere's stash. "Take these as well. I don't really need them, I just wanted to take a walk for a bit." She was glad that the wound on her lip had healed and there wouldn't be any questions about that. Everything appeared fine and she would keep it that way.

"Everyone is fine, I trust?" As the pair spoke a bit, Iki moved around the space, using her dexterous paws to gently remove the root ball on some useful flowers. "Plant these when you get back. They'll spread quickly and you'll have a good bit to harvest and turn into sweet smelling ointments." She hoped that the plant would thrive. If only she could return with the girl to show her the proper way. Alas, there was nothing that Iki could do about that. Elysium was her home now, whether she liked it or not.
