(se) (o) sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn

NOAH

After his hunt with Henry that will remain ambiguous as it is not finished, Noah stuck around the Hollowed Grounds to do some exploring. Well, exploring may not be the right term -- orienting, really, was what the hunter was doing. When he had been here before he had only visited a few places with Phoebe, but he had been so overstimulated by everything that he had not got a good bearing on the land. He wanted to change that before he headed back to Halo.

As the hunter moved about and made notes in the small notebook he always carried, he took in everything that was about the place he wandered in. He knew Longnight was difficult for this place, but he hadn't the faintest idea at the moment of the details of what had transpired. He took note of the charred earth and the scorched trees, houses burned to ash and stone standing only as a memory of what once was. It tore at his chest, tugging his heart down as he sympathized for the people. He found himself eventually in the temple, wandering about the halls. As he rounded a corner, he saw a woman move to the window. Curiously, he stepped towards her. "What are you looking at?"

The last time Noah had seen the woman, she was a leopard. He had no idea it was that same woman before him, now, outside of Halo.
