When they sat down and really thought about it, April and Mal decided that obviously, the best activity that two Lumberjanes could do together (the best friendly activity, anyway) was to explore the woods together. It was just what they knew ( Read more... )

"I should warn you, I'm kind of rusty at this," Mal admitted as she stepped over a log.

"Oh come on, it'll all come back to you!" April exclaimed, hopping over the same log with considerably more enthusiasm. "It's in your blood, Mal."

"In my blood? Really?" Mal asked, grinning despite herself. "Would that be the gay blood or the Korean blood?"

Hanna was -- avoiding everyone. Everything.

She did not want to think about parents. Absent parents. Pseudo-parents. Unknown parents. Everything else. No.

As April and Mal approached the statues, the sounds of their conversation would start to sound closer and closer to Hanna.

"Do you think that was a person running?" April was saying.

"It sounded like a person," Mal replied. "I hope they weren't being chased. Wait, what are these things?"

Then there was a crunching of leaves, and suddenly Mal and April were in Hanna's clearing.

"Oh, hi," Mal said lamely. "I didn't mean to bother you. Um, are you okay?"

Hanna sat up abruptly, face going hot. "Hello." She waved awkwardly to April. "April. And friend." Oh, right. He'd asked her a question. "...no?"

She wasn't bothered yet, anyway. This didn't look too weird, did it, lying under terrifying statues? ... what was the question?

"Hi, Hanna," April said, coming to a stop just behind Mal. Shorter legs, you know. "You're not hurt, are you?"

Her eyes were bright with concern, because she was a caretaker like that.

"This is Mal. She's my friend from camp. Mal, Hanna."
