The Tangle when you grow older and all those boys grow tired of you

mallaidh frees her and takes off before she can orient herself. blix tries to keep up but she could not be more abysmal at it, losing her within what feels like seconds. how on earth does she move so fast when she's nearly twice blix's size? 

a little frustratedly she presses forward, taking a stab at where she thinks her friend has gone. she can hear sounds all around her, rustling and the distant thrum of running water, and a muffled voice she assumes is furi's, though she can't quite make out the words. it's better than nothing, so she surges after it, hoping to essentially strongarm through the thick barricade of foliage. 

it does not go as planned. the twisted branch furi easily goes over catches her; she careens into the vines, her panicked squirming only tightening their grip on her until she spills out near furi, still bound to the tangle, and entirely upside-down. 

"hi," she says sheepishly, resigned to her fate.
