Don't mind me, just getting used to this girlie. :> Anyone feel free to jump in! WC:308

She walked at leisure through the Forest of Nod, enjoying for the second time its warm atmosphere. A quiet breeze rolled through the trees, bringing to her nose the scents of fall. Those trees that would had lost their leaves, blanketing the ground in red, brown, and orange color. Her second favorite season.

Sage's straw-colored eyes were glazed, a smile plastered on her face as a trail of smoke echoed behind her, its origin between her fingers. The half-smoked joint smoldered in her hand as she found herself now nearing the hot springs; the air had moistened around her, thickened. Soon she was surrounded by a comfortable haze of both smoke and steam; a comforting combination. Sage exhaled a plume of smoke, and retrieved from her bag a small sketchbook and pencil; she wanted to record this scene. The sun was low in the sky, pale colors of pink and orange painting a lovely background for the hot spring's tree-lined outcrop. She began sketching.

I wonder if Daddy ever comes here... It was he she was looking for, after all. Sage had returned here with her sister, China Rose, following a bout of inspired longing to see Father, and a need to travel.

As the warmth surrounded her, she pulled her dark, wavy hair into a messy updo, using a small stick to hold it together. She did not expect company, and so did not bother with her appearance at all.
Sage eyed her drawing curiously, holding it up to compare against the reality of the scene. She decided that the scene needed some life, and so she added some creatures: a small pair of finches and a shy rabbit. She smiled as she sketched the rabbit's fluffy tail, taking another puff of smoke into her lungs. Lovely.
