Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eirian sat high within an enormous and very old tree, pawing through her recent grab. There wasn't really anything out of the ordinary for the merchant she'd swiped it from, a few keys to most likely his shop and home, the money that she'd been after, a few Jess and ends here and there- "Ooh! What's this now!?" She said happily, pulling out a long gold string of jewels. "A gift for his wife no doubt, or perhaps one of his mistresses." She said, with some amount of contempt. She looked at it closely before determining that yes, they were real, and she could probably make a fortune off of it. She tucked it safely away before placing the little purse in her own pack. "Glad to know being chased to kingdom come by that damned hunter paid well." She murmured, leaning back against the trunk of the tree and extending her legs along the thick branch she was perched on. As of right now, she looked completely human. No one would know she was a +Anima unless they saw her tell-tale marking. Every +Anima had one, and it was usually having to do with the event that changed them. Her own looked something like a broken chain around the sun, signifying her freedom that her powers had granted her, and was located on her upper thigh, so she had no worries about anyone spotting it. Aside from that, she wore a black wig and blue contacts when she wasn't in hunting mode. This drew less attention to her. She closed her eyes and laid her head back. The sun was going down and she was tired. She climbed up a little farther, to where the trunk of the tree had a hole just big enough for her to fit into. Inside she curled up, pulling a dark brown blanket from her bag which served as a pillow. She fringed her wig and contacts before pulling her hair up in a tight bun against her head. It was long, and she did not want to risk it peeking out, although to someone below, it would most likely look like the moss and fungus that adorned the rest of the tree. Still, better safe than sorry. She laid down and pulled the dark cover over her completely, head and all, and became practically invisible. In the dark or the light, her blanket blended with the color if the wood. She'd been sleeping there since coming to this town, and the hole was cushioned with pine needles, moss, and other such things, and she'd strewn the feathers from one of her captured and long since devoured birds throughout it. Were someone to happen to find it, it would resemble an owls nest.

Eirian woke up the following morning when the sun rose. She peeked out before actually packing up again. She stepped out onto a branch and stretched, replacing her wig and contacts. She climbed down and hitched her pack further onto her shoulders. She'd stay today before heading off to a new town. She'd been there a week already, people would begin to get suspicious. She'd leave with a bang at least, instead of slipping away like a coward.

Eirian walked onward. However, even in her humanoid form, she had wonderful ears. She heard him tromping through the undergrowth and knew it would be more conspicuous by now for her to try to avoid him. However, she had a separate bag of local herbs, which she brought into plain view. She knew he hadn't gotten a good look at her face in the chase, so when he came upon her, she didn't bother to pause in her leisurely gait, but instead smiled and tapped her index and middle finger to her temple. "Mornin', sir!" she said pleasantly as she walked on.

Eirian held up her herbs, looking over her shoulder as she continued on her way. "I was hired to help an elderly lady in town, thought I'd make her something nice for dinner." She called. "Sorry, I'd stay and chat, but I really should get to her." She said, turning a corner.
