She had been told to patrol.
There were two things about it that she didn't like.
The first, was being told to do anything. On the one hand, she understood that she had voluntarily joined the Hidden Falls, and that with herdship came certain obligations. Like attending herd meetings and patrolling. It still didn't mean she liked it when anyone forced those obligations upon her. Being told what to do, even when it was justified or previously agreed upon, was something that the earthen girl would likely never be okay with. She just ... didn't like it. It was perhaps one of the only emotions that she really felt with any clarity.
The second part that she didn't like was ... not knowing how to patrol. She had agreed to the task and then immediately fled back to her secret glade. Isopia didn't like admitting her ignorance about as much as she didn't like being told what to do.
So here she was, against her will and completely unsure of what her task actually was.
No matter, she was clever. She would figure it out.
Although she was supposed to patrol with Kaj, she hadn't bothered to wait for him. She was supposed to patrol, not wait around for her 'King' to find himself ready. Isopia wasn't trying to be rude of course, even if it came across that way. She was genuinely trying to follow instructions - waiting for Kaj didn't appear to be part of that.
So, in her raven form, Isopia flew towards the Dark Woods. Snow lined the way, but in the thickly wooded areas the ground was still fairly clear, if not almost completely dark. Snow had lined the tops of the trees, and so whatever sunlight could previously filter through was now barred from doing so. But Iso didn't mind the dark, or the cold. The acorn charm that her father gave her was still around her neck even as a raven, and it cast a warm golden light below her as she flit through the trees.
