Who: Hayate and Adela
When: Late Afternoon
Where: The Woods
What: Sometimes an escape to nature is good.
Despite the overcast skies above his head, Hayate felt more at ease than he had in a long time. His freedom tasted better than it had before his incarceration, and the case against him had been completely dismissed for some reason. He was not about to question it; it was good thing, and he was thankful for twist of fate. It was hard to imagine someone like him could be thankful for anything, but it came along every once in a while when good situations dropped into his lap. Right now, the world was looking up for Hayate Ishikawa, and he walked along a clearing until he reached a moist forest path, looking up at the sky as a drop of water fell from a leaf and hit his forehead. Rarely did he find appreciation in the smaller things, but it brought calmness instead of annoyance on this day.
His hands were deep in his pockets, a light coat of length hanging down to his thighs and swaying in the wind. It had been a long time since he visited the forest, and it occurred to him as strange. He once visited this place often upon the early months of his arrival, finding the wilderness to be more to his liking than the company of people. Somewhere along the way, things changed and he did not question it.
Hayate shook the idea from his head and took a deep breath as he cleared his mind. He came out here to not think, not to spend his time thinking. Passing by one of the trees, he held out his hand and allowed his fingers to run along the bark of the oak. It still felt damp from recent rainfall. He paused, looking up the tree and considered for a moment to ascend it and sit amongst its branches. It was the fae blood in him that longed for these places of the world, these quiet and secluded spots of nature. Too often he ignored the feeling or repressed it, but it never meant it went away completely.
