Set after This Thread | Looking to giver her a bit of a spook
Leaving that strange situation, Aika had made her way north, finding a sandbar to safely cross with little worries. As a treeline emerged from the grass, the girl weaved through them, disappointed that none were wisteria, but glad to be hidden in the density of the forest. Her mind lingered back to the plains every now-and-then, but she'd been certain to tell @Izumi and @Taro that she wouldn't take any longer than a couple of days... or weeks...
But, she struggled to feel guilty once she found a tree dripping a red liquid. Shivering in an uncomfortable manner, Aika clenched her teeth as her head felt . . . Sore. The princess was almost about to ask if the tree was okay, but she soon realised that asking a tree if it was okay was a little bit silly. Nonetheless, the girl leaned a single paw on the trunk, head tilted and frowning. “これはサインですか?” Her voice quivered.
“私はそれがないように祈ります。..” And with that, Aika turned from the tree, subconsciously on higher alert than she'd normally be if she hadn't seen that blood red tree. “... それをさせないでください。” A prayer to those above, and a hope for safety on the rest of her journey.
