(oh wow that's a lot. Yeah those are amazing XD)
Quinn had rolled around a little in the night, and the blankets and sheets were tangled tightly around his body.
Aster was already awake and moving around in his room, getting ready for the day.
Charlotte left the room, closing the door quietly, and crept towards the stairs. She wasn't sure if she could handle any sort of social interaction at the moment.
(Lmao thanksss)
Quinn rolled over, still cuddled up in the sheets.
Aster kept getting ready, humming softly.
Charlotte practically ran outside, and was struck by a freezing cold wind. "Oh, gods," Charlotte muttered, wrapping her arms around herself. She definitely should've brought a coat. However, while it was freezing, it was also really beautiful out at this time. Not that Charlotte would think anything was beautiful, of course. That would be ridiculous.
Quinn woke up, sleepily rubbing his eyes. "Mmph." He mumbled.
Aster started waking up the other guards.
Charlotte smiled slightly and started walking around. It was incredibly peaceful here. She considered trying to find the stream again, but decided against it. Water wasn't ideal for freezing mornings. She warmed up quickly from walking, and soon didn't even notice the chill.
Quinn looked around the room, and spotted Lightning curled up on the floor, but no sign of Charlotte. He sighed softly, and untangled himself from the blankets.
Charlotte continued walking, looking at absolutely everything; the dew on the grass, how insanely blue the sky was, the way the birds seemed to react to each other. It was quite a bit before she realised she'd gotten lost. The inn was nowhere in sight. She turned in a slow full circle before deciding to go back directly the way she came and hoping for the best.
Quinn went into the bathroom, combing his hair so that it was no longer a tangled, unruly mess, and using the toilet, before leaving rhw bathroom. He gently picked up Lightning, placing her on the bed so that she wouldn't get stepped on by mistake.
Charlotte walked for several more minutes before deciding that she was, in fact, lost. All the trees looked the same, and she'd been focused on little details on her way in. Oh, gods. What if they thought she was trying to leave again? She leaned her forehead against a tree and groaned.
Quinn left the room and headed down to the dining area to see if Charlotte was there. He frowned slightly, and left the building. "Charlotte?" He called, looking around.
Charlotte sighed, looking around again. Maybe if she just picked a direction - but she had a 75% chance of picking the wrong direction. They'd have to find her eventually. Probably. She glanced around again nervously before hopping into the tree and sitting on a branch.
Quinn started walking, looking around. "Charlotte?" He called again, frowning slightly. He headed into the woods, carefully keeping track of which way to go to get back.
Charlotte lightly hit her head on the tree several times, out of pure boredom. She accidentally hit it too hard and hissed. "That was stupid," she muttered.
Quinn kept walking. "Charlotte?" He called again, looking around. "Are you here?" He sighed softly.
Charlotte bolted up, having heard a voice. Unfortunately, she sat up too fast, and fell off of the branch, cutting her arm open. She cursed quietly before calling, "hello?" She quickly pulled her sleeve over the cut.
"Charlotte?" Quinn called again, still walking. He hoped she hadn't gone too far; that would be irritating.
(Hey, i gtg soon so this might be my last response)
"Hello?" Charlotte called louder, slowly walking in the direction of the voice.
He frowned slightly, thinking maybe he heard her. "Charlotte?" He called again, louder, heading in the direction her voice had come from.
"I'm right here!" Charlotte responded, turning and seeing Quinn a few feet away. "Ah. Hello."
Quinn grinned for a moment. "I was wondering when you'd gone off too." He said.
"I, er, got lost. As you can probably tell," Charlotte pressed her lips together and looked off to the side.
"Alright. Come on, I know the way back." He replied, tipping his head slightly.
Charlotte nodded. "Let's go, then," she suggested with a half-smile.
