Ravensblood Forest and out in the woods lighting struck

As the young woman swept close to meet the children, Mou tensed. He didn't do so deliberately. This wasn't someone he knew. He was on high alert, even with Maegi's relaxation around the girl. He gave her a watchful eye while she introduced herself and said hello; it was during this time that Mou noticed a vague resemblance between her and Maegi. Or maybe it was a resemblance to the brother-in-law that had once lived within the woods? Close enough, at any rate, to ease some of Mou's deeper worries.

He felt relief as she turned her attention back to Maegi. Both ghosts heard the tale of the missing friend, both locking on the obvious opportunity of the plateau. Mou's ears cupped the air as he looked more expressively towards the two women.

Mou need not say anything; Maegi spoke for them and shared his feelings on the subject. He busied himself with watching over the children as they grew slowly bored of the introductory process, and began to entertain one-another with some light nips and tugging games.
