Wraith Woods was a dark and scary place. Most would likely avoid this if they could help it. However, Skorgek appreciated the lack of company. Having lived in this area her whole life she was familiar with the locations and how to not get lost. Having first bound a very long vine to one of the trees at the entrance of the forest she would make sure the rope was secure so she wouldn't get lost. Not many creatures came into the forest, however, it was a valuable source of both Kava and Cannabis. Since she hadn't been stocking up she admittedly had been running low on certain items.  Alot of her relaxation herbs had been running low so she needed to restock. She had learned a stronger relaxant called Kava was found growing in several patches within wraith woods. So she decided to travel there.

Fear not the forest. Well, in this case, it's the woods. Kiriko pads forward without fear, instead finding comfort in the enclosed space. She couldn't be hunted here. She couldn't be hunted somewhere she could just as easily slip away. Her steps are delicate, gentle, near-trackless. The late spring breeze ruffled her coat, and she feels at peace. The cool, damp environment was strangely comforting. While she wouldn't admit it aloud, she rather likes the woods. Even if they are spooky. Her search is simple, today. Watercress and marigold both grew well here. If she was lucky, she may even be able to find some kava. While it wasn't something she'd stock in abundance, it was good to have on hand, just in case. With a borrowed satchel strapped to her side, the koi fades into the woods, her gaze trained on the ground before her. The sunlight struggled to fight through the trees here, but Kiriko didn't mind. The koi was bright eyed, careful as she moved through the woods. Acutely aware that there could be danger, but some of her paranoia had faded. Her gaze landing on the first of her prizes, Kiriko bent her head to gently pull some marigold up from the root. It didn't have much of a scent, but the golden and orange flowers were unmistakable. Taking them with the root still intact meant she could replant some in her own garden, within the bamboo. Lovely. The red koi was deep in her work, and grateful for the distraction. "Speech"

The white face of Skorgek came off as quite intimidating in the darkness of the abandoned forest. Her eyes looked around quietly as she herself had her eyes on some cannabis. The smell of which was rather strong so she had minimal trouble in locating it. However, Skorgek found it rather close to the riverside. Her tail swished in the air as she soon spotted the orange colors swishing through the water. Intrigued by the distraction Skorgek watched the fish pull the marigold into the water. Her tail swished at the air as she smiled and paused. Curious about the fish.

Returning back to reality for a moment Skorgek opened her satchel. Putting the cannabis in her satchel she would continue to follow. The koi along the river. She eventually gave a gentle and friendly, "Hello fish!" her tail wiggling as her verbal skills and well communication in general were rather lackluster. She generally didn't interact with others. So she never grasped onto anything past basic interactions. This could fool some people into thinking Skorgek was a bit dense. The darkness of the forest left only the white mask over her muzzle visible. Her eyes hidden she looked down to see if the fish had heard her. Having paused to wonder if the fish could even understand her. She awaited a response. She had gathered quite a fair amount of Cannabis and what looked like a daisy with deep red roots. She set her satchel down for the moment deciding to pause for a second. Awaiting a response.
