you escape like a runaway train

going for that trade too, so definitely jumping in here <3

Vienna was slowly mapping her way around the Sunspire, her travels drawing routes in her mind that she then burned into memory for later use. She had made journeys farther out on her travels as outrider-in-training, but now her target lay a bit closer to home. A few days ago she had noticed a promising-looking valley that lay almost directly west of the spire that she called home. Immediately she had made a mental note to check the place out. Such nooks within mountain ranges usually played host to a wonderful variety of vegetation.

As she descended and approached the valley floor, however, she noticed that she was not alone. (A feat for her, since normally she couldn't pull her head out of the clouds long enough to notice strangers. And the clouds were especially fluffy today.) The girl seemed young and, where Vienna was heading down, she was heading up.

"Hello," she greeted her, smiling happily.
