'Siri'
Having just recently untangled the complications holding her back, she had to wonder what might be keeping the farmer locked to the Grounds. Well, untangled was a strong word. Perhaps she merely severed herself from the whole mess and hid in some fields. Iris chewed on the apple in her hand, noticing Henry grow silent.
She appreciated the respite. Although her muscles were taught from exertion, her mind was fresh with questions. Gathering the thoughts that had streamed through her mind in the previous hours she felt lighter, if for the one thing she was still chasing. Throwing aside a gnawed out core she took a fresh apple from her pocket and kept eating, ravenous.
Henry's answer gave no clarification, but it did make her glance around the fields suspiciously before swallowing a mouthful of fruit, taking the bottle and indulging in a long gulp. "There was..." She hesitated, wiping away a stray drop on her lips with a sleeve. "Well... A carnivorous rabbit, a mushroom that smelled of decay, a lake of colors and the trees appeared... grabby. But only when I wasn't looking." She looked at Henry expectantly, hoping for an explanation.
