Lorelai's shared den with Luka and Lorelai's children was right across the hall from her medicine den; Lorelai wandered about it today, murmuring under her breath while she checked her herb store's freshness and quantity. She'd bloomed into an aspiring medic, and had a lot more confidence now. She was often found deep within the forest gathering herbs, but some had to be gathered elsewhere. She had taken to asking Noir for help gathering herbs along the coast, and it was as she checked her seaweed stores that she realized she would need more. Humming softly to herself, Lorelai exited the medicine den and set off towards the entrance to the tunnels.

Noir had been travelling the coast, as per usual; she'd not received any other tasks aside from seaside surveillance, and her main interest was still in Blackwater. She pondered, perhaps, when the whelps were older, if she could convince her mistress to let her investigate Blackwater more closely... an insider's view. Whenever she went to the shore, she gathered seaweed for Lorelai, as she knew the poor girl never strayed more than a mile or two from home. Today was no different.

The Servant girl found the Mystic, nearly bumping into her at the entryway. "Oh, madam, my apologies," she gave a breathy chuckle then pulled back, showing the Mystic the bundles of seaweed she'd looped about her neck. "I've brought you more. Right on time again, I assume?"

Lorelai had not been paying much attention, and that was likely why she'd nearly collided with Noir. The Mystic backed up several paces, a soft gasp escaping her, and she sighed, "Oh! I'm sorry, Noir... I was lost in thought again." She smiled nervously, then nodded as Noir asked about the seaweed. "Oh, yes, yes I was running low." Somehow, she kept running out of her dried stores, and she had a sneaking suspicion that it was her own puppies — but that was something to worry about for another day. Returning her attention to Noir, Lorelai questioned, "Have you met anyone interesting on the coast?"

Noir gave the Mystic a toothy grin at her questions, and she answered, "Oh, yes, a few interesting characters at least. Two were from Blackwater, but they're quite mysterious, and wouldn't give me much information." That was why she was so intrigued; Noir loved secrets.

Then, Noir gestured for them to walk back towards Lorelai's medicine den. She picked up the seaweed, and the two walked the short way to the den, where Noir dropped her parcel and asked, "And how are your children, madam?"
