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

Her ears twitched and her steps slowed to stillness; Mae heard the girl before she saw her, recognizing the sound of a gait she'd only heard once before. Her first instinct was to turn away. Instead she found herself searching, scanning the expanse of grey and white for the striking redhead who still crossed her thoughts sometimes.

Mae let out a breath when she finally laid eyes on the girl. Now was her chance. She could ask her name, apologize for their last meeting, maybe even —

No. No, that was stupid. For several long moments, perhaps long enough for her presence to be noticed, Mae only watched the girl. Then she started to turn away again, wanting distance between them. Not so much that she would lose track of the girl entirely, but enough to avoid being seen. They'd come to the valley, that much was clear, but where had they settled? Mae was determined to find out.
