Autumn could be dangerous, if she wasn't careful. Asteria knows better than to let herself get killed out here, but... well, things are hard. She can feel herself slowing down, she can feel the way her joints creak when she moves. The mornings are only getting colder, and she doesn't know what winter has in store. Winter in Boreas... she'd be fine. She would always be fine. Still, the star-soaked woman has to worry. Has to be concerned.

For now, Asteria could disappear into the Willows. Disappear with them around her shoulders, fading into what seemed like oblivion. It was easy enough to go unnoticed, untracked, over the soft ground and among the stately trees. There was a comfort to that. A comfort to the way that they seemed to box her in, creating little shadowy spaces and hiding everyone away beneath. She's able to slip through the spaces, seeming to hide from the rest of the world. Hiding... hiding where she could be safe. Really safe.

But as she came around a corner, it became clear to Asteria that she wasn't alone. Her heart caught in her throat. She did what she could to remain upwind of the stranger, to remain out of sight, but there were forces at work beyond her control. A shift in the breeze would reveal her location, if not by sight then by scent. All Asteria could do was hope the stranger didn't mean any harm... or if he did, that he hadn't noticed her after all.
