Wapun Meadow a different kind of pain

This is a very vague 'en route' thread, since I don't know exact details about the BCV split yet. Mostly for @Splinter !

Sesi had never left Bearclaw Valley. The closest she had come was an accidental trip to the borders with Xan. Now, moving through Wapun Meadow with a fraction of her family, she felt exposed - and scared. Above all else, scared.

It was out of character for Sesi to leave her sister's side, but that evening she did exactly that. The desire to be alone with her thoughts overshadowed the need for company, and whilst attentions were directed elsewhere, she stole away, melting into the sea of flowers and grass like a shadow. Someone that wasn't brave had to learn other skills to survive, and Sesi was becoming particularly good at sneaking.

She didn't go far - ten, fifteen meters at most, and came to rest in a patch of particularly tall grass. She carved a little burrow and settled down, sitting sphinx-like and tense whilst her eyes scanned the sky. It was getting dark, but the stars weren't visible through the cloud cover.
