maybe she could stop by in littleroot and check in on the ranger station there. as fun as her local missions have been, it was only a matter of time before she started craving more. the silent icelands were...quite frankly, horrifying, and just seeing how much their environment hs been impacted by the rifts has only given her more resolve to do everything in her power to help stop it. 

she still doesn't know how to tell Nikolaj Volosenkov and Camila Volosenkova that she signed up for a raid expedition. maybe she should wait until she comes home from it safe and sound....

better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?

in all her musings, she completely misses the round little sprite tailing her from behind. kirin notices it, of course, but just nickers softly, leaving it to its own devices. 

SKIPPING
SOLO WILD - FAIRY INCENSE

a little imp starts following them from behind instead. this one has slightly more frustrating tricks up its sleeve and scurries up into the trees. kirin's ears flick. a light, protective sheen rolls over saskia's frame, unbeknownst to her.

it's why it takes her a moment to realize what the pinging sounds are, and where they're coming from. acorns bounce off of her every which way. she stops, looking up, and spies the little creature with its weird, crooked grin. 

"awww, it's so cute! kirin, can you get it down for me?" she snorts. 

her antlers begin to glow, swimming in an array of dizzying patterns. the imp reaches for another acorn, but misses the branch and freefalls with a squeal, right into kirin's waiting megahorn.
