see what you find there with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
Paige saw the herbalist heading out of Torchline that morning and the little girl couldn't resist following after her. She was making a game of it, honestly. The girl knew that going into the Wilds was dangerous, but if she was close enough to Ray, even if she was being sneaky then she figured that the girl would be able to help her if she did get into trouble. So off she went. Sneaking through underbrush and doing her best to practice her "tracking" the way Sah taught her. Not that it was really hard considering that she basically stayed only about fifteen feet away the whole time.
She was honestly pretty proud of herself. It wasn't until a sentient vine pointed behind Ray's shoulder that she thought she was caught, quickly ducking down to keep from being spotted, but that's when she saw the gourds. Oh no. Not these things again. Ray took out two and was about to go for the third, but Paige wasn't going to not help her friend. Instead she came charging out with her stolen gifted staff from Mr. Jata, swinging at the gourd the way the hunter taught her, sending it falling onto its side with a nice dent and pumpkin guts spilling out. "I got it!"
