"He should have been back by now..."
Tayva couldn't help but worry right now, stuck in the middle of the forest, her belongings somehow having been either misplaced or taken during the short period that she and Talos had taken a break from their trekking. Talos had taken off to go reclaim the missing bags, which contained everything that the pair possessed: food, tent, etc. Without them they were sitting ducks. And of course this meant that she was left alone in the woods, in an unfamiliar territory in northern America with only a small hunting knife to protect her against the wild.
To her, it felt that her companion had been gone for almost hours, though her sense of time was skewed by the fact that she couldn't see the sun up above, the forest canopy hiding it from her eyes. Around her the forest seemed dim, almost as if night time from the sheer amount of foliage up above. It made her nervous, even a little jumpy as she listened to every sound in the forest. She couldn't help but feel a little paranoid that something would jump out at her. After all, this was the first time in ages that she was left alone without her draconic companion.
Hearing some rustling not too far away, Tayva felt the hair on her skin stand up, the fear of encountering some large grizzly bear being the first thing that came to her mind. Quickly hastening her steps, she hurried to a nearby tree, grasping onto branch stumps and bark as she dragged herself up onto the lowest branch. It wasn't until after she climbed up however that she found it to be less than stable, forcing her up yet another branch. This was a fatal mistake however, as it snapped under her weight, the draconian falling to the ground with a snap and a thud...
