[ Judging by the fairly spooky looking trees in the background, Ariadne is in the thick of La Llorona. With her is an imp who appears to be wearing a neckerchief, perching on the side of a cart and fussing over the sacks in the back of it. Ariadne herself has a steak of dirt on her forehead and a bit more on her nose, as well as her clothing.

Yup, she's been digging up bones. ]

If anyone needs to get any remains to Caer Scima, I may be able to meet you somewhere and get them there. I know we're all sort of spread out.

[ She rubs the back of the hand that's not holding her locket across her forehead, smearing the dirt across it. Despite the drop in temperature, this is still hard, sweaty work. ]

And if anyone else is in or around La Llorona, or will be traveling through the forest to get to or from Caer Scima -- I have a manor in the forest. While I wouldn't say it's one hundred percent safe, knowing the way things go around here, it's definitely safer than camping within the forest. As long as you aren't looking to hurt the forest or Caer Scima -- or haven't just come from doing those things -- you can stay there, if you'd like.

[ She grins at the camera, tired but obviously pleased. ]

I even have rooms picked out for a few of you.

[She chuckles a little as she gets sight of the mare.]

Thank ye. It seems like Angus will be in good company when we get there as well.

She spends most of her time around an overly exuberant bandersnatch cub -- I think Cerise'll be glad for some company with a normal amount of teeth.

[ Not that she and the mare aren't very fond of Straton, but he does have an awful lot of very sharp teeth and he's still not very good at not biting too hard when he's playing. ]

Well it's not like Angus isn't without his own exuberance. I wager he thinks himself a colt still sometimes.

[Merida gets a slap of an ear for that, causing her to laugh some more.]

Did you say bandersnatch?

[ Ariadne also laughs, even as Cerise noses at her. Yes, you'll get to meet the nice other horse soon. ]

I did. I went on a hunt a few months back and found him; his mother had been killed, we figured [ by all the blood and broken arrows ] and they hadn't noticed him. So I pulled him out of the den and got him warm, fed him, and he's been with me ever since.

[ Other than that time she accidentally turned into a monster and got locked up in Caer Glaem's dungeon, but that wasn't her fault. ]

[She's heard about bandersnatches since she arrived in the Drabwurld, but she's never actually seen one for herself. She smiles as she kicks Angus into a trot, deciding to get some ground covered while she uses her locket.]

That was good of ye. Not many would do such a thing.

I couldn't just leave him.

[ She's said that before and she'll keep on saying it. He was just a tiny little thing, though he's about the size of a spaniel now. ]

I know logically other people would have- but I guess I have a hard time getting that fact to really sink in.
