Stone Circle saparote

Ever since she'd realized she'd been getting bigger, Clary had taken to checking her height against a particular tree on the edge of the Pando Forest, one with particularly identifiable branches so she wouldn't forget which tree was hers. The once pristine tree now stood with crude yet identifiable scores in the wood, jagged and sloped. Today she drew away from the bark and spat the taste from her mouth before she turned a scrutinizing gaze upon her work. She beamed - a whole pebble taller than last week! Feeling bigger and very much adult, a skip filled her step and a hum, her throat, and Clary turned to make her way further into the territory, and maybe find Steph or Ezra or ma to tell them how much she'd grown!

But the sound of scuffling brought her to a stop, and the girl turned in the direction with a tilt of her head. She spotted Murdock almost instantly - brown and muddied as he was - and she trotted over without a hint of hesitance she might be interrupting something important. After all, she was bigger now, and surely that meant she could do adulty things like whatever he was up to.

"What'cha digging for?" She asked, and eyed the pit he was digging and shuffled around his side to try and peer into the hole. "Can I help?"
