Recovering
(ooc: um, yes. sorry this took so long.)
“Unk…”
Aura was busy. One less finger meant it was that little bit harder to grip when scrambling about in the upper canopy, and she was busily trying to get used to it. She’d wanted to stay in bed, but Olm had told her it was best she go out and get some exercise, now she’d shaken off that infection at last, so out she’d gone, narrowly avoiding half the guards on the way-
There was a splash of scarlet up ahead. She stopped so abruptly she nearly fell off her branch; recovering her balance, she stared forward through the foliage, squinting… Yes, no doubt about who it was – there was only one thing she could think of that was that red, anyway…
Her mind drifted back to that dream/hallucination.
“Maybe I want to find someone who’s not scared of me to talk to”… that was what he’d said, wasn’t it…? Which was plainly ridiculous, she was scared of him, of course she was, scared as anyone. Unless that was her subconscious, trying to get a message across…
All her instincts for survival were screaming at her to run, back to town, get the guards… Yet… Jan had always told her that her curiosity would get her into trouble, and she knew it was stupid, but…
Curiosity piqued, she scrambled forward through the branches.

(Um, yes. Sorry it’s short, I thought I really had better post something before I go off back into limbo for two weeks… *shrugs* If I can get online (maybe in the public library) I will, but I can’t guarantee anything, sorry…)
