let me live that fantasy

It wasn't as if Hanako had someone in mind, it felt like it'd be kinder to make it random, as if leaving it up to fate to decide. That way it would save her from the weight of it all, the guilt that wanted to nip at her heels as if to remind her just how much of a terrible person she was for agreeing to this. How desperate she was for Azure's attention. She wandered, ambling about as if she had no real destination in mind and eventually found herself back in the north. It felt dangerous almost, tempting fate to be so close to the Armada because if Sirius found out- well she didn't even want to consider that. She wasn't stupid enough to try and lure a pack wolf anywhere, but a loner seemed like fair game, right? Someone who wouldn't be missed by a greater whole.

As luck or misfortune would have it, Hanako followed the sound of running water and found a lone soul.

Hanako pursed her lips, pink smushing thin as she regarded them. She seemed distracted, watching the deer on the far side of the water, not wholly aware of her surroundings. The lady stood taller than Hanako, with an athletic build that ensured she'd be able to flee if she had the chance, though if things went according to plan it wouldn't come to that. Hopefully.

Hanako approached, clearing her throat a little to announce her presence. She was the lure and just had to fall back into old habits, sociable and sweet, an easy smile upon her lips as she came to stand beside the girl with the frankly boring brown coat. She would do, maybe, it felt too early to say.

"I'm not intruding, I hope?"
