Alys
Alys blushed as her friend expressed surprise that she didn't have plans. Gods, he must really think her more interesting than she was. She had all of two friends, and she hadn't wanted to interfere with their LongNight plans, so she'd kept quiet about her own lack thereof. Hotaru had been around less and less of late, spending much of her time in King's End with her new beau; and Alys had simply assumed that Tal would have plans of his own.
She raised a brow at Tal's stutter, but didn't press him; he was entitled to his secrets, after all. His offer, however, was welcome, and she shot a grateful smile towards the courier. "That would be nice," she said shyly. "I was really just going to stay in at the Academy, but I'd much rather some company. Thank you." She might not be sure exactly what they'd do for a day or two, but anything would be better than spending the entire LongNight period alone.
As they walked, she adjusted their path slightly, angling towards a thicker patch of trees in the distance, following her intuition as it called her ever onwards. There was an urgency to her pace now, alongside a growing sense of unease. She absently fingered the arrow nocked on the string. Something was coming. She just didn't know what.
