fandomtownies | The Woods: Saturday morning

One minute Nell was in her woods looking at some strange shimmery thing and the next she was definitely not in Soulwood. She froze, more than a bit disoriented, and took in her surroundings. Woods still, but different ones.

She crouched down and tentatively put a hand on the earth. Not hers, for sure, and yet... She could still feel Soulwood through the earth, distant, but there and... happy? Pleased? Not at the separation, but at Nell being in these woods.

Her eyes closed as she tried to see what the land could tell her. All sorts of things had happened here, but overall the woods seemed healthy and with an edge of, well, the only thing she could think of was a sort of magic. They seemed happy she was here, too, and she could feel a deep connection to her woods and other unfamiliar woods. She'd never felt anything like that before and wondered uneasily if it was her gift still growing after that man had attacked her a while back and she'd given him to the woods.

She pulled back her connection a little, looking for more surface things and could feel a gathering of people some distance away. She couldn't sense any bad intentions from them and the land seemed happy to have them there, so she took a deep breath and started in that direction.

She'd be cautious, but maybe she could at least find and answers there.

[OOC: Establishy, but open if someone wants to run into her on the way to the welcome picnic.]
