Shade shrugs. "I don't know know know. I know a lot of things I shouldn't. I don't know how I know a lot of the stuf stuff stuff I do."

Farah nodded and bit her lip gently. "Like what?"

"I dunno… There is an excess of leylines nearby. The dreamer is waking. This forest is theirs." Shade shrugs.

Farah frowned. "What?"

Shade shrugs again. "As I said, I do not necessarily know know know. All I know is that this is true. For now, why don't we eat eat eat?"

Farah nodded shortly. "Alright."

Shade grins. "Good good good."

She proceeds to go hunting, and comes up with a brace of rabbits, some wild garlic, wild rice, potatos and morel mushrooms. "Yay! Soup soup soup!"

She proceeds to turn the rabbits, wild garlic and rice, potatos and mushrooms into a delicious soup.

"Done done done!" she says, ladling out the soup.

(Sure!)

Farah watched with a soft gaze as Shade expertly made the soup. “I take it this isn’t your first time making this,” she remarked.

"Nope nope nope! Not the first time I've made it. It's very good." Shade murmurs, most of her attention on the stew. She finishes eating it quickly, and sighs.

"Anyways, what to do next? We could try to fight fight fight." she suggests.

Farah was amazed at how fast the girl's mind moved. "Fight? You remember I am fae, don't you?"

"Yup yup yup! But you seem to forget: I am not a normal human person either. I'm sure I can take you." Shade laughs.

Farah arched her eyebrows. "You believe you can win against a Gentry Seelie fairy?"

"Maybe maybe maybe." is all she says. She disappears into the trees, grinning like a demon.

Farah lifted her chin and tilted her head. She felt magic swirling through the air and spiraling up into the leaves of the trees. It was palpable. She let it come to her. Channel.

Shade grins as she feels the magic swirl into Mist around her. She's good… she thinks, as silent and undetectable as a wraith. But I know these woods. I know where to block the magic, for the time being.

She leaps through the trees, finding her way to the center of the convergence of leylines. She moves a stone, and disrupts the flow of magic just enough so that she has a higher chance of winning. She sprints back to Farah, barely winded, and swings a punch straight at the fairy.

Farah's eyes flew open. She side-stepped Shade while simultaneously ducking out of the way. A spit of wind stirred up, pushing Shade through the air to create more distance between her and Farah. The fairy smiled and tilted her head. "Impressive," she remarked, knowing full-well the battle was far from over.

Shade laughs. "You are as well."

She lunges, closing the distance between them in seconds, attempting to sweep Farah's legs out from beneath her, a quarterstaff which drops from the trees humming towards the fairy's head.

After using her magic, Farah's senses were heightened. She continued to let Shade take the offensive patterns while she countered by jumping over her legs and swiftly reaching to catch the quarterstaff.

Shade backs off, leaving the quarterstaff in Farah's hands, settling into a defensive stance.

"Very very very interesting… heightened senses! I can see see see it in your aura; the magic helps you out a lot." she murmurs.

"I had to learn to fight without it first," Farah remarked, twirling the quarterstaff elegantly and dangerously. "And when I got good enough, the magic only aided the knowledge that was already there." She advanced a few steps forward and wielded the quarterstaff smoothly.

Shade laughs. "That makes sense."

She ducks, and grabs Farah's arm, twisting behind her and bending the arm to the point of breaking.

Farah gasped and hissed in pain, but she focused enough to channel her magic again and use it to push Shade off balance.

(Also, I need a tag for you so I can PM you and summon you to the Fancy Death RP I mentioned earlier. We still have one open spot.)

Shade stumbles back, then pulls Farah down with her. She's laughing like a maniac, and rolls on top of the faerie.

"I like you." she says, a grin lighting up her face.
