Cloaked and masked, she approaches in the dark, dramatic as ever with a descent from the rooftops, landing elegantly in the other’s path. “You have been looking for something, jalil,” the Valsharess says, heels grinding against the gravel as she pulls them together, standing with a delicate hand against her chin, supported by the opposite forearm. “Allow me to save you the hassle.”

          There was something slightly intimidating about it, all those trees with their thick foliage. She heard rumors of little fairies, too, which didn’t bode well for those walking in alone. But until she made strides to understand this place, she would have to be alone, wouldn’t she ?  There was no Servant to bail her out this time. She would have to begin making strides to get her own bearings. 

          It only occurs to her when she’s deep in the Forest of Airaisal that maybe traipsing in unprepared was a bit too much for that first stride, though. She’s so used to traveling through the arena at a steady jog that the distance didn’t register to her, but the darker the shadows get, the more she realizes distance is far from a main issue. 

          No, the main issue now is that soft-glowing orbs keep whispering to her, attempting to stray her from the lightly-worn path. The main issue is that now even those have fallen silent, which made the crack of a twig not far off stand out all the more.

      ❛   … Hello ?   ❜   Maybe calling to it was a terrible idea. But, well... Whoever — or whatever — was trailing her clearly already knew she was there. Ignoring it seemed way more idiotic. 

According to the locals, when winter came around in the Cotes Ward there was a chance to see frost fairies. They could be tricky, sneaky little creatures so she was advised to bring treats as a gift. It was recommended she bring some type of alcohol, but as an absolute child she didn’t feel comfortable, so she brought fresh berries instead. Making her way through the dense forest, she was starting to think her boots weren’t right for the snowy grounds. 

Finally she approached the wide open area, there was already someone there. She sat in the snow like it was honestly no problem, it made Barbara shiver slightly. It seemed someone had beat her here, and wouldn’t you know it she was covered in the very same fairies that she was seeking.

There was still something about this place he couldn’t wrap his head around, why choose him? Out of everyone else, why did it have to be the Leader? It could have been someone else, but at least he would have kept the team together. With him not being there, would it really take an effect of what his friends are up to? Are they really doing well without him? They probably are doing much better; that’s what Dwight wants to believe. They all had amazing and unique skills to keep themselves out of harms way. Unlike himself, Dwight was usually there to try and keep the team together. They can still do that without him...

Now wasn’t the time to self loathe, all of that just blocks the thought of one thing; if Dwight is able to come to this place, there’s a chance that a killer could come in as well.

Wondering through the forest in Cotes may have been an odd choice, but accepting the new reality would take a bit of time to get use to. Seeing people wondering around like any normal day was odd for him. Dwight really is the odd one out. For now, it would be best to come around to all this little by little. For now, it would be best to have some time to himself. Time to reel in everything that’s going on. He felt like a mouse in a maze trap. Walking in a little deeper into the woods, his mind wonders off for just a bit, until a certain humming catches his ear. As if the melody playing could have been one of comfort, but for Dwight, it was one that struck fear into his heart.

Dwight wanted to believe he was just hearing things, that the possibility of someone, like the killers he and his friends had face, was not even possible to see them here. His heart was beating quickly, he couldn’t help but run and hide around a bush behind a tree, he couldn’t see where the humming was coming from. Instinct kicked in as if he was in another trail. There was no doubt in his mind, his panic and frantic mind.
