Evie
When hope and peace begin to fray
Though the walls are surely imposing from the ground, they seem more so when up close at their base. Or perhaps merely longer, as each long minute of careful, attentive detail crawls by. Her companions are just as eagle-eyed and intent, something the Evergreen is grateful for. Though she doesn’t doubt her own abilities, they can’t afford to miss anything. Extra eyes are all the better in this instance.
Alas, they find nothing. Which truly is the best kind of news. Turning back around promptly so they waste no daylight, Evie and her team return to their initial gathering spot promptly. “The walls are entirely sound to the east,” she reports, and her smile hints at relief and gratitude as she says it, knowing it would be too much to hope for the same in every direction.
