Ibis had eventually reconnected with Okeanos, although they hadn't been separated for long. He mentioned that he'd found Mali as they'd been intending, and then proceeded to show Ibis how to reach the forest. It didn't seem very different from the Hollow and had her aching for home as soon as she stepped foot between the trees. There were some natural paths; it helped that she was following Okeanos through the forest at first, and his broad figure made way for her much smaller, slight figure.
At some point Okeanos was distracted by something - maybe he thought to go hunt for something to make Ibis feel more at home, or maybe he thought to scout out an area of the woods that were new to him - but either way, Ibis was left to her own devices. It was cool in the woodland shadows; she could spy a few plants that were familiar as she trailed along, but many more - grasses, seedlings, trees - which were foreign. All of it smelled like Mali, and she still wasn't sure what to feel about the fact that their adventure had found its conclusion so swiftly.
Ibis moseyed through a small meadow within the forest and as she stopped to sniff at the flowers, she had the distinct feeling that she was being watched - and looked up, resembling a startled fawn in that moment.
