Wild Berry Meadow could almost feel you

His plan had worked. The two juveniles slipped out of the oppressive woodland of Neverwinter and ventured into the frost-covered lands beyond. Should any adult follow or engage them, Haruki would simply lay the blame on sweet, naive @Sullivan; his scapegoat. Though it seemed they had escaped detection for now.

What Haruki had failed to do, however, was offload the other boy so he could explore on his own. He followed the ex-prince like a bad smell, not picking up on his hints that maybe they should split up while "searching" for Simmik. In fact, Sullivan had even somehow managed to take the lead from Haruki.

With a proclamation of I know that smell!, the darker of the two boys lead them into a sweet-smelling field. Haruki did not want to admit that he was fond of the scent, if only because it reminded him of Reiko, so he kept up his look of mild distaste. "Have you been here before?" he asked of his company behind him as he idly strode ahead.
