MELITA
“Only what was on the notice boards.” Her strides were long, crisp, sharp, overt maneuvers of a woman in a hurry.

Maybe the world was full of promises that couldn’t be kept.But the girl would still put a claim on hers.

No hums under her breath, no modicums of delight – all business, and for once, some form of concentration. Fangorn did his part too, sniffing around, vines extending in various directions, as they continued ambling forth.
