Jade Fern Grove listen to silence, it has so much to say.

The news @Phox returned with had come as a surprise to Fig. While he didn't want to be parted from his parents quite this soon, he knew he wasn't ready to see his sister just yet. And so, he'd bid them farewell for now with the promise to visit in the next few weeks. Until then, Fig was on the road again.

He'd never spent all that much time in the Valley to the East before, and so he was interested to wander the hills and plains and forests it had to offer. The grove he wandered through now was the most unexpected of all his discoveries thus far, though. The ferns that covered the ground here made it feel as though he were transported to a different land in a different time. It was peaceful here in a way that felt good for his soul.

Fig found a nice patch of earth between the ferns to settle down onto his haunches. He shut his eyes then and began to breathe deep and slow, taking a moment to simply exist.
