Never trust a book's cover As much as the girl detested traveling alone, the woods in Domhan Tir were like second home to young Jasmin. She had lived in the woods for some time in the past, it had been something incredible for her own personal development and traveling in them was always incredible. The girl would be stopping in a clearing, deciding to give herself a small rest.
Slowly the fox would sit down on the shadow of a tree before reaching for her sketchbook and a utensil to draw with. While she was here, might as well draw some nature, maybe she could sell the sketches for a few coin at some point, who knew. Even if usually she had more luck selling ordered portraits. Jasmin was quite talented with it and could probably make a decent living as just a artist but…
She was on an important quest, family had always been important to the young female and she was hell bent on finding her brothers, at least to have some closure about their whereabouts after all. Even so right now she’d just focus on relaxing and drawing. Later she’d have to scavenge for food and some source of fresh water so she could get herself a drink after all. The girl would pause, looking over her sketch once in a while, more so distracted by the sounds of nature around her. One thing was certain… Jasmin was proud of being part of this country and to be able of basking in its natural beauty.

hide&seek. Katharine stepped back, her hands on her hips; her nose wrinkles and she smiles, bright. Excellent! She's gotten everything together; her clothes have been washed and hung and she stands in a long white fuzzy near-robe, something she's stolen from a traveler or other, watching her white shirt dry, the pants dripping water onto the ground. Katharine spins, her hands flashing out--she's got a little shelter set up, hidden under the base of a massive fallen tree, and her throat twitches.
She is safe. This is life, safe and perfect and happy. No more cold white walls and dark nights and listening to the drone of The Teacher. This is life! And it is beautiful.
The donor wrinkles her nose and runs a hand through her hair, tightens the belt about the robe; her long hair is soaking wet, down to her waist; the skin that is fireproof twitches in the cold breeze. The thought comes to her that someone may be following her and that thought makes her throat convulse; she wants to be alone, damnit. That's why she's built a little shelter under a tree. It may not be too hidden but dang, she needs it, needs that shelter. Katharine peers back and sees...something.
So, naturally, Katharine shuffles forward to investigate. And so Jasmin will be treated to the sight of Katharine shuffling out of the tree-line, squinting at her, and it is a moment before Katharine remembers: Some Domhan Tir inhabitants are gifted like animals because of their natures; they are closely tied with the natural world, and so some may have strange appearances. Oh. Okay, yeah! Katharine then smiles and leaps to Jasmin, boisterous and ebullient:
"Hey! Ah, is that a sketchbook! It's real pretty out, so I can see why you'd be drawing. It's--wow, okay, it's actually a very nice day." As she speaks, Katharine looks about herself to make sure she's affirming the truth. |
