Jade Fern Grove 'Cause everybody knows something I don't wanna know

now that there was no more need for travel, dinah spiraled quickly into agonizing hyperactivity.

today marked the first excursion beyond noctisardor's sanction since the redhawks had arrived. she needed to find flowers. the flowers made her feel sane. and though the hope for finding blooms beneath endless banks of heavy, powdered white was slim, the mere idea of them being there was enough to keep her going.
