Phoenix Maplewood You've got a big heart

@Wraen was as good as her word, picking up a (very excited) Maia when she was ready to start their scouting trip.  They went northeast, and Wraen set a quick pace, though Maia was sure after a while she took pity on her sister and slowed it down a bit.  She wasn't as accustomed to these distance travels.

"So, have you been out here before?" Maia asked as they reached a forest, pausing briefly to admire the intense foliage above them.  It was nice to be in the shade.  The forest was a stately one, and if they had to pick a spot, a forest was up there on Maia's list of wants.  Nothing against mountains, but she had always just kinda loved trees.  They reminded her of home.
