Private Down the Forest Path

"You know... I think Erione's shrine is just over there somewhere," Bel stated as the two girls slowly made their way through the forest. Bel had offered the evening before to help Azucena pick some early spring herbs like chickweed and Miner's lettuce. Her friend was also supposedly searching for some types of nettle, among them stinging, dead and henbit.

"Shush," Azucena whispered as she shot Bel a slightly irritated glance. "We are not going to visit Erione's shire, Bel," she stated as she changed the basket she was carrying to her other arm.

"But, Eri is the sweetest guy ever," Bel said. "I know he'd be happy if we stopped by," she pointed out.

Blushing a light pink, Azucena pretended not to hear her friend's not so subtle hints. "Maybe later, Bel. We should probably finish looking for the herbs before it gets too dark to spot them," she said, relenting a smidge before she deliberately marched off down a forest path away from Erione's shrine. Azucena wasn't quite sure about the very cute and very nice god. She really did like him, but she didn't quite know how much.


@Max!!

As the girls wandered farther down the path, Bel began to talk about what her plans would be if she was elected as student council president. "Oh, and Sidney, she's helping design my posters and pins. So bloody talented, she's got a bit of an attitude, but so do I at times ..." Bel rambled.

'She sounds ... interesting..." Azucena murmured as she glanced back at Bel. She knew of a Sidney, who was a moth girl, and couldn't help but wonder if it was her sister's friend from the DCA? However, before she could ask the heard a young man's voice greeting them.

"Hey there," Bel waved in greeting, not thinking that it was too weird meeting a fellow student - or so she assumed - out in the middle of the forest. She jusr figured it was something people did.

"Oh... hey there. Hi!" Azucena stated, visibly surprised by the appearance of someone besides themselves out in the forest. Unlike Bel, she knew that it wasn't that common for people to hang out in the woods at this hour.

"I am," Bel brightened up visibly when the young man seemed to know about the elections. "I'm Bel, nice to meet you," she said as she introduced herself.

"And that is Azucena. She actually runs that outdoorsy nature walk club, "Fronds, & Leaves," Bel explained cheerily.

"It's Shoot & Leaves, Bel," Azucena corrected her as she looked sheepishly over at Milo. "And yes, I am in charge of the nature walks club," she said.

"Hopefully the group can get out again soon. We usually go out on weekends. But we had to cancel a few times cause of the weather. " she explained, rambling a little as she did.
