Oh, you say you have to fall apart to really be someone
Things were not going as Maea had expected. While she did a pretty good job of navigating around the enchanted potholes, the same could not be said for the Mysterious Figure™. It did the unthinkable and moved, right into her planned trajectory, and now it leaned against a tree just ahead of her. A cane cluttered to the ground by its feet, and she was beginning to feel a little foolish. Was she taking a long, painstaking detour around nothing but a regular person? Sure looked like it, especially as the figure leaned over to pick up the came. It did not seem like the thing a ghoul or the Morgen would be doing.
In a move she had learned by watching cats, the pale-haired woman threw caution to the wind and forged on, pretending like she hadn't just been fretting about ghosts in the middle of the day. Hemmed in by ponds on both sides as she was, she approached the figure and found a youthful face huddled in an oversized coat, of a fashion that wasn't too far removed from her own. Looming, broody - and very comfortable, thank you very much.
"Hello," she murmured politely as she came within speaking distance, inclining her head politely. Because saying nothing while passing by another person in the midst of all this forest would be both strange and sort of rude; both a label she was working hard to rid herself of.
