((This is set in the wooded area around the path that leads from the Parade Grounds to the Beach and the forest proper.))
Ceredin was in a tree. This in itself wasn't unusual. She was always in a tree. She did still look a bit battered, but in the three weeks since she'd returned to the Guild most everything had healed and her hair had grown back to her chinline. This was a completely unnatural pace of healing, even for her, and she was highly suspicious of Calyx, who had developed a nasty habit of slipping her Healing potions when he thought she wasn't looking. But she wasn't concerned with this right now.
What was abnormal about her was that she was sitting on a high branch, back to the trunk, hugging her knees up to her chest and her face hidden on them. It looked like she was crying.
But this was Ceredin. Ceredin didn't cry.
She hadn't been seen around the Guild all day, and she knew that Calyx was going to start panicking sooner or later, so she'd have to go in soon. But... not now.
