Who: Dar and Morrigan
What: Eavesdropping and consequences
When: After Morrigan and Aedan have been in the woods for a time.
Where: A very, very big forest in an undetermined location.
Warnings: It's Morrigan. Both figurative and literal explosions are likely. But SFW, certainly.
Dar hadn't actually known where that particular Portkey would lead. She and Nuriko were due to leave London in a few days, after they'd sorted out a few odds and ends, but they still hadn't decided where to go. Dar'd figured the best thing to do was try a few Portkeys on her own and see where she ended up, and then decide if she wanted to be there, and then tell Nuriko about it.
Except she'd gotten kind of distracted.
Dar couldn't help it. After weeks of feeling trapped in that huge, noisy, metal-coated city, which never slept and had nowhere with air that smelled clean...well, finding herself in a forest had gone to her head. She'd let out a cry of delight that'd turned into a falcon's joyous scream halfway through and gone exploring, revelling in just being somewhere green and lush and familiar, even if it wasn't a forest she knew personally.
It was only after hours of ecstatic flying that she remembered this might not be such a good idea. She glided in to land on a branch where she could rest and think. She had an excellent sense of direction and was sure she could find her way back to the Portkey, eventually. But she'd been gone rather longer than she'd meant to be. Not so smart.
As Dar caught her breath, she noticed something extremely strange: two wolves running in the distance. She could see them clearly with falcon-eyes. Two wolves, that wasn't so strange, though it was rare to see two instead of a lone wolf or a full pack. But the coloring...they had completely different coloring, one black and one grey. The shapes of their ears were different, the fur was a bit different, as though they were from different parts of the world instead of the same pack. And they weren't running as though they were hunting, or tracking, or any other normal things wolves did.
That was curious. And Dar had a hard time resisting curiosity.
She flew in to have a closer look, keeping up with them from above.
