Aneld had already packed while Shael was sleeping, lost in her own dreams. He brought rations and some reading material but not much else. Rubbing the back of his head, he bashfully explained, "I like to travel lightly... no pun intended."
"Well, I do too, but some things are necessary...my net, for instance, and I have some food that lasts awhile, clothes...notes. I have some notes from a place I visited and would like to puzzle them out at some point. Are you ready??" Shael looks eager to get going...her first adventure!
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

Shael smiles and leads him out the door to her home, where she picks up the sack she left by the door and checks on the clothes she set to dry last night.

It was a much clearer day today than it had been on the previous one and they walked without fear of getting drenched. Many people were out on this day, honing their skills and trying to impress the students of the Immortalis. Aneld has shed his traditional black student's garb for dark brown flowing pants and a black top with a high collar. He inquired when she picked up her things, "Alright, have you got everything? It's a long journey ahead."
"Should have- I got my extra clothes, books, food, a dagger, my net...what money I do have...and I have you, for what I have inevitably forgotten in my haste!" Shael laughs musically.
"Shall we, Aneld? We'll solve this and be heroes!"
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

With a giddy smile on his face, he shared her joy, "Not only will we be heroes, but we'll also have some questions answered. Isn't that what people like you and I are always looking for?"
The anxious student-turned-adventurer opened the door and motioned for her to go through, "after you."

The two of them began walking North, side by side and both anxious for what was ahead of them. Both Shael and Aneld were entering a world unknown and an uncertain future. No amount of light-reading could prepare them for the long journey ahead.
"Shael... can I ask you something rather personal?"

"I... I want to know things. Just how things are, you know. The past is as the future to me- hidden, a mystery. Why did we separate? Why do they hate us, for the knowledge we have gained or is it because they never learned to understand it? Do they hate us because there is reason, or is it teachings only? I seek knowledge of whatever I maight learn, because to know something is to- to be intimately familiar with it, and be able to understand completely is to grasp the secrets of anything." Shael blushes. "I am secretly a bookworm, I fear."

Aneld turned his head, shocked and deeply moved by her response. He tried to comment on it but all he could muster was "You're... very different. I like that." For a moment he just looked at her like he was about to tell her more but he shook his head and laughed, "You know what's worse that being a closeted bookworm? Someone who's come to the fact that he's a bookworm and everyone knows it!"
"I don't mind, I assure you." Shael laughs. "At least you've more thought in your head than, say, whatever you've caught at the hunt, or which of your classmates is most likely to-" She stops.
"That's...beautiful..." Shael points to a violet flower. She walk sover to it and picks it carefully, preserving the plant so that it might bud again, and brushes the dew from it. Taking a small, skin-covered book from her bag, she unties the cover and carefully moves to a blank set of pages. She puts the flower inside and tightly ties the book again.
"This is my pressed flower book... I have flowers from all over the place, in here."

With a puzzled look on his face, Aneld implored, "Pressed flowers, eh? An odd thing to pack for such a light traveler. Neat, though. I used to love studying horticulture when I was in my original home." He paused for a moment, furiously thinking and trying to divert any further questioning about that topic, "plants can tell you so much about your surroundings... prey, predators, environmental conditions. Heck, sometimes you can read them better than you can read the elements."
"I started when I was very young. It doesn't weigh much....but it's something I take when I go somewhere new, so I can have memories of the places I go." She studies the now deflowered plant.
"I don't think anything eats this- no teethmarks. I could be wrong though- I'm not a good tracker."

"Hmm..." was all Aneld could say, a passive attempt at a response. He was doing it again... staring around her, obviously reading her emotions, looking for signs. "We're almost there" he said as he pointed to a sparse forest at the bottom of some low mountains.

Aneld replied bashfully, "sorry. Totally out of habit. Just trying to read your emotions... I guess I could always just ask." He peered at the forest, "I'm not sure what to expect, but I do know that we're in for a shock as soon as we cross the threshold."

An awkward silence followed as both of them were kind of at a loss for words. They weren't sure if it was because of Aneld's occasional awkward idiosyncrasies or the looming threat of the forest. Either way, when the reached the edge of the forest, neither of them had said a word for a few minutes.
"Well, it's now or never. Let's go...and don't worry about earlier, all right? I don't think badly of you for it." She turns her head to look into Aneld's eyes and smiles.

Despite his nervousness, he managed to smile back. He was scanning the forest and noticing that the accendo was very weak on the other side. "Alright, I'm ready." Aneld grabbed Shael's hand and once again, the accendo surged through her but this time she had other things to worry about. "On three..." he said, his hand trembling ever so slightly, "1...2...3!"
