Stone Circle You're very tall, you're very handsome.

The brisk manner of the woman was a shock to Ibis, who had only ever had positive experiences when probing with questions. She hadn't meant to offend - but then, she hadn't really thought about how the questions might be taken, or the fragile, emotional quality of the woman's mood right then. She should have pieced it together when the speckled man had come, said his thing, and gone. When the woman hastily asked if Ibis needed anything else, the girl shook her head and withdrew. No, I'm sorry, um... I'll just go.

It was clear she'd overstayed any form of welcome she might've held if her friends had been near; so she did what she specified and drew away from the borders, hoping to shake the awkwardness from her shoulders with some time spent in quiet reflection. Whatever had happened to the woman, Ibis hoped she found peace.
