_____It had tried hard to rain most of the morning, but the moment it had let up and the sun had come back out, Corona had headed off towards the foggy forest of Esper Hollow with her usual supplies in tow. Though she hadn't been around for a few days, she hadn't worried as much because of Endymion and Rachias being there. Part of the reason she hadn't come around was because she hadn't wanted to see Rachias, imagining that the last thing her younger sister wanted to see was just one of several faces that had been assisting in putting an end to an even crazier sibling's life.


_____But eventually not visiting had eaten away at her enough and there was, working her way into the thick forest of Ethereal Eclipse, consistently aware of the sounds around her on the off chance that someone else decided to come along and spring an attack. Dealing with the woman in the hospital was well behind her now, but it had truly solidified how serious she needed to be about the decisions she was making. To sit on the side of the fence with Inferni meant that anyone could and would take a shot at her, regardless of who she was or who her parents were.


_____So as the camp site came up into view, she let those thoughts settle in the back of her mind and peered about, wondering if any of those who had faired well were still doing good. She wondered if Jasper was any better or if Laruku was making more sense of the world, but most of all she wondered if Ahren was fairing more or less the same. Corona didn't find him in the shed and things were too quiet in the shack for anyone to be in there. In fact, everything was pretty quiet, almost too quiet for her tastes as she settled in front of the camp fire, sitting on one of the logs-turned-bench and sighed.


_____Someone would be around eventually, if she waited.
