spaceDixie Lynn would admit, this was not exactly her best idea. Not a terrible one, she'd maintain, because she was stubborn as a mule like that. But even she had to admit, she was a little lost, and it was friggin' cold. She should've waited until the spring thaw to do this, she thought, a little sullen. But, like, that was months away, and she had gotten impatient. Soon as she'd had the idea, she'd gone at it. Well, not soon as. She'd waited for a clear night, full moon shining and providing plenty of light through the forest trees.

spaceHonestly, the cold was not as pressing as the whole 'kinda lost' bit. Well, really the cold was only pressing because she was lost. The longer she was lost, the more cold she'd get. She was pretty dang sure she was headed the right way, but she'd been walking for what felt like ages, so she couldn't be sure. She'd considered sticking closer to the treeline, but what if she'd been spotted before she made it to the castle? That wouldn't do at all. Too bad now she was relying on... well, basically her supposed knowledge of navigating by the stars to find her way, which wasn't great, since she only kinda knew how to do it from talkin' to her daddy. He'd taught her, but she had to admit she hadn't... exactly... paid perfect attention. She kinda knew what she was doing! Kinda! Maybe... Ugh. If they'd just changed their stupid rule so she could go to school with Bobby Ray, she wouldn't be in this stupid mess, dangit.

Rosalia was hopping through the trees, a small woven pouch on her hip. Today she was going to meet up with her mermaid friend. They had a small hobby of collecting various items from their realm of nature, then swapping it for things of the other. It was fascinating! It was certainly something exciting to the nymph, who had been missing her nieces since they all joined school. Even little Juni had to go to classes, and Jason was ever strict on not letting them in without an adult (and really, Ro was pretty sure Jason didn't consider her a mature adult). Either way, she had gifts to share! Hopping to a low tree branch beside the forest stream, Rosalia sang a happy, chirping song to hopefully lure her friend out from the water.

Asra had first followed this stream into the Forbidden Forest a few years ago, and nearly stranded himself. But it was quite worthwhile: in the end he had come away with a new friend. And now he meandered the stream easily, following the channels deep enough for merfolk and then under, until he was circling the water beneath a deceptively deep puddle.

Faintly, above the water, he heard a chirping tune and answered with a cheerful tune of his own. With a flick of his tail, he surfaced, and cut off before air touched him-- there was no need for screeching today. He drifted towards the shore, reaching into his bag for the first of the curiosities:

The first was a simple collection of underwater reeds and plants, wrapped into a bundle. The merpeople used it to mark stones and surfaces, drawing temporary notes and directions.

Thesecond was a completed project: he had been collecting twigs that students dropped along the banks after flying on their sticks, and finally he had collected enough to wrap with a cord of woven reed to form an imitation flying stick.

And the third was a little rescue: the flowers of a puffapod that had drifted from the greenhouses, most likely. He had found the seeds exploded into flowers, upon contact, and now had a few handfuls. He had also discovered they were not suited for underwater decoration: but perhaps his nymph friend would find them more useful--and be able to revitalize the poor drowning things.

Rosalia chirped happily when she spotted her mermaid friend. Climbing gracefully down from her perch in the tree, the nymph went to investigate what she'd been gifted. Some plants she'd never seen, perhaps from the murky depths of the lake? She wondered vaguely if she could plant them in the forest, but figured they were used to an underwater life, so probably not. Maybe a question to pester Jason with...?

The second gift looked like a tiny broomstick. Laurel flew one of those! Rosalia grinned, pointing at it, then making a swooshing, flying motion with her hand. Neither knew the other's language, so they had to make do with signs and such. The third gift was another she recognized. They were puffapod flowers! They were half-dead and still very wet, but the redheaded nymph quickly planted them by the shore, singing one of the nymph songs she knew to try and save them.

Once they were at least a little less dead, Rosalia reached into her own pouch, offering over a pinecone (with a pinecone seedling attached!) she'd found that morning. Maybe the mermaid would like it? The second thing she offered were some seeds for water plants Aspen had given her. Maybe they'd grow underwater... or maybe they were for shallows.... Well, Ro would find out soon enough. She chirped happily at the mermaid, wondering what he was doing next.
