Lost Creek Hollow Does your mother know that you're out?

He made it sound idyllic. What was it about this place that was better than the Willows, though? He offered to take her on a tour of his hideaway and on any other day maybe she would have gone willingly, but for now Ibis shook her head and nonchalantly said, I'll find it later. Sounds pretty though, and fell away to silence. She had a lot to think about and wasn't as equipped to handle all of it at once.

When the pair of them came to a more obvious border line with a strong scent (maybe what Terance or one of his underlings had been fortifying prior to her arrival) she paused over it, and then carefully side stepped around it as she pranced through the wood; her steps were cautious, like she anticipated something bad happening for her being here despite the acceptance. When nothing happened, she gave the patch one last glance and was back to normal again.

Ibis watched the trees swaying, breathed deeply of their scents, and tried to imagine what sort of magic lay in wait within the Hollow for her to find.
