Grouse Thicket put on your war face

'Don't give up hope' was kind of an easy solution for a difficult problem in Laurel's book, but she didn't say that on account of... Well, she wasn't even really sure why. Maybe because she liked Dagfinn, or maybe because it didn't matter if he knew her thoughts.

"I guess I should keep looking," she said and she wondered if maybe she should leave too and look for Indra rather than stick around in a place she wasn't happy at. But how could she ever tell her father and Jhala that? They would probably either ridicule her or chase her off, or maybe even kill her still. She was too afraid to admit that she wanted to leave.

maybe fade? :)
