A boyish woman lays on a tree branch just outside the bar listening to the music and life of this place amble onward. She stares at the sky and the occasional cloud that passes above.
Thinking of nothing as she swings a dangling leg back and forth. Some this place knew her as Jade. Others if she could pull off her boyish looks right knew her as Tristen.
She had the looks of a local urchin, but Jade Tristen didn't belong here.
She blow out her breath then breathed in the fresh air slowly. Trains were notoriously soot and smog filled. This served well as a different place to lay about doing nothing.
Jade Tristen wiped at her eyebrow when a stray strand of hair tried to bug her eyes. Jade's eyes in turn followed the sky paths until she saw where the sun was. Noting it was almost time to go bum some grub. It only depended on whether anyone was feeling like giving a scrap or two up. She pulled out something from her pocket and looked at the few wild edibles she had found nearby. Not much but so long as it wasn't anywhere near the inhabitants and roads Jade knew it was something to eat at least. She stuffed the find back into her pocket and continued to lazily watch the sky as swung her leg to and fro.
Yumi finds a stash of acorns and wonders about what happened to the inhabitant of this whorl.
She finished cleaning house and takes an load of acorns out with her. Carefully she lays them out and inspects them. Most have gone rotten and the others are to dense to ever grow into an oak tree.
Yumi hefts one and accidentally sends it Timberwolf's way. The next acorn she just chucks at Lighty. The rest she tries to get close to the owl and crow and tosses them when at a decent distance before bolting deeper into the woods.
Goodnight my lovelies, may the night embrace like a lover as the moon nestles you like a mother. Let the wind keep comfortable as it rocks you to and fro.
May the stars continued to watch over you, perverted in their all seeing abilities.
paddles the @Timberwolf and laughs while trying to wave and say hello to forest mage.
I believe Sleeping Fire went by that name too. So I was confused on why He wasn't a boy. But, you being a different mage is awesome too and even better as a girl since I can say things and get away with it being female and all.
Yui accepted Bob's hand up and left the room with the two still in it messing with something. She never stayed long enough in one place to lose her welcome there. Being 'Lost' here we'll prove interesting to say the least.
She sees some of the decor in the tavern that catches her eye and admires each one in turn. When she turns back to the bar and rich smell of homemade food Yui finds that everyone has gathered and gotten both food and drinks.
Yui blushed at her inattention to her surroundings as she promptly sits down where Alanna and Bob are then gesture to the warrior and Thorn for them to join their table. Come on over everyone why not make it dinner to remember as our first time eating together. If we're gonna be Lost we might as well make the most of it.
Yui swallows several times to keep from drooling. She sees how tender the meat looks and how seasoned and juice lathered the veggies are as they sit on the serving plate
Yui remembers Thorn's earlier question for her drink order. If you don't mind Thorn. I would love to drink whatever you deem worth of being paired with this out of this world meal. Yui smiles with anticipation and tries in vain not to stare at her food.
Yui is glad the Alanna felt at ease with her as she changed. Lately not a single person be they a guy, girl or more could look at a woman without landing in jail. It was refreshing to have a relaxed woman near her besides herself. Even Thorn if she was a female in her own right had been comfortable in her own skin.
Yui moved to follow Alanna out of her room when she suddenly bumps into something firm and finds herself on her bum again.
She sees that it's Bob not Bob and stands backs up none the worse for wear or harm. What's up Bob? Did you get lonely suga?
Yumi feels a wave of relief when she hears Lighty and acknowledges his words. She had returned to magical The Woods that first took her from her home so long ago. Yumi nips herself and think on her flavor. I think I taste to sinewy and a touch too nutty to be a good mouthful, Lighty. She smiles and does a gesture toward Timberwolf. Timber has a better rump than me after all my running to get back to her from that weird darkness.
Relaxes into the cold Mmm, this is definitely better than being hot and sweaty. Swims around more in the delicious cold. *Turns it night and let's bioluminescence flora work their magic as the cold settles in for a while.*

I love the Anime but the books give more detail and shows more feelings internal and external. I really love how this young woman faces herself in various ways that constantly bring her out of her shell and comfort zone into she comes into her own of her own accord and runs with it.
