The barracks were pretty boring and that left Faith to wander out on her own, which wasn't usually recommended for most people, but Faith wasn't most people. Really, she was more comforted with the open spaces and the tall trees. Prison had been... well, a prison. Routine, lights-out, mess-hall - things that made people calm and collected. Faith was far from calm and collected most nights and the woods were giving her some crazy feeling. It was like a film on her skin that the low-pressure shower couldn't even start to wash off

Alec wasn't exactly trying to be silent. If he was trying to be silent, he'd be doing things differently. Right now, he was just looking to not get shot again, so he was making an acceptable amount of noise so that people knew he was coming.
That didn't mean he was slacking, however. He was pretty much on high alert, and the fact that he was heading into the wind was helping. He smelled the other person out there, before he heard her, and what he smelled ... well, it was human. There was a good chunk of human, definitely, but there was something else to it. Something that he didn't recognize at all, but that was nothing new for this place. Then he started to hear the footfalls of whoever it was up until they stopped, and decided that drawing attention to himself might be a better move here.
"Hello?" He was just loud enough to be heard by anyone who was nearby, but not too loud. "Anybody out there?"
Taking a deep breath, she smirked, pushing off the tree, "Yeah a shitload of trees and me."
Shaking her head, she cut through some more of the trees, trying to meet whoever it was in the middle at the very least. "Maybe some dead bodies, cause this forest is pretty damn creepy."
Alec turned in the direction of the voice and started heading in her direction as well. "Dead bodies. Great. Decomposing flesh is just what I need today." The last thing he needed was to get the stink of it in his jacket. Dead people fumes never, ever came out of leather. He liked this jacket, and he didn't want to have to burn it -- regardless of whether or not there was now a bullet hole in it.
When he actually met her in the middle, he looked her over with an appreciative glance, before giving her a bit of a smile that was just on the edge of flirty. "Hi."
