Arialla was a morning person, but even she didn't usually get up this early -- her habit, instilled in her at her old temple, was to rise with the sun. But she'd had trouble sleeping this morning, and after tossing and turning for a while, decided to just get up and take a walk to clear her head.
She wasn't the only one with that idea, clearly, but she would have passed this man with no more than a polite nod if he hadn't looked so startled -- and if she hadn't then spotted the source of his surprise. A tree growing so quickly the movement was visible ... Arialla stopped and approached more closely, not sure if this was a common sight in Caido. The man's reaction suggested not, but he might be new to this land too.
Weighing a few possible greetings, she settled on, "That's odd."
please don't take my sunshine away
