Cassidy stood in the shadows where they had split up, waiting for the others. She glanced at the stars and ascertained it to be just before midnight. It was the middle of spring, so she figured they had maybe six more hours of solid darkness. She tugged her fingers through her tangled and ashy hair. She realized that she probably looked terrible. It was no wonder the knights didn't like the looks of her, with her temper, plus her current appearance, she probably looked worse than death. She quickly braided her hair and resumed her waiting.

Carrot untied honey and sadled her. Waiting for luck and fyn while Dabria and Kai were talking.

Cassidy stood quietly, listening to the night. She sighed, feeling grimy and dirty. She perked up as she registered the sound of a creek. She followed the sound until she found a small stream. The water wasn't too deep, maybe three feet. She hesitated, glancing over her shoulder. The others had more ground to cover than she had, and she figured she had maybe fifteen more minutes of waiting. She almost didn't but the feeling of grime got to her and she quickly stripped down and dunked under the chilly water, washing off as quickly as she could. The water turned gray from ash but it was quickly swept away as the water rushed around her. She wrung out her hair and climbed out of the water, dressing hurriedly and returning to the spot where they had first split up. She raked her fingers through her hair to comb it and re-braided it. The brisk air on her damp face felt wonderful after the ash and soot that had covered her. She leaned against a tree, waiting impatiently for the party to return with their horses.

When everyone had finally mounted their horses, Dabria set off in the direction she believed Cassidy had gone in, but she hadn't left any trail to follow, so the princess was clueless. (Hint hint nudge nudge Cassidy didn't alert them of her location at all)

(Like they had gone one way, she went the other, and they were meeting where they had gone separate ways. Plus Dabria is supposed to signal again once they have the horses.)
