Quanil paced as they awaited the arrival of volunteers. They wanted, even now, to charge into the Labyrinth, to try to see if Freina had wandered in and gotten lost. What if she were dying of thirst or hunger? What if she were already dead? They had to know and they felt a riot of emotions to go along with their usual flurry of thoughts: guilt, shame, a tentative hope. She was their little sister - well, only a year littler, but still - and they'd lost her. If they were going to be a Seeker, then they'd better learn how to seek, starting with the nearest and dearest to them.
Freina was tough, she was strong, she never let anyone or anything get one over on her. Surely she wasn't in here. She wouldn't have gone in, no matter what the squirrels said. But they had to say they'd looked. They had to cross everything in the Hollowed Ground off their list, and even then they might not stop looking. Perhaps she'd gone through a portal? Who could say?
But they'd attended the Provost's lecture on the dangers of, among other places, the Labyrinth. So they stayed where they were, hammering a strong stake into the ground and tying a rope to it. Hopefully this would help them find their way back, even with the shifting hedges? Better than nothing, at least. Their staff leaned against their pack, filled with food, water, and basic medical supplies, just in case.
My first PQ! Little baby level 1 needs help to find their sister! THREE SLOTS OPEN TO ALL, with the caveat that this may be dangerous: it is the Labyrinth after all! (May be more dangerous to Quanil than to anyone else, honestly! xD)
We'll move on once all slots are filled! and I get back from PT!
