Flowers followed in her tracks, falling from her hair and landing softly in the shallow waters. Each that fell was soon replaced, a bud blossoming in the lost one's place. She was almost used to the flowers, slowly beginning to recognize them as part of her, rather than simply stemming from her. They appeared at an uneasy tide in her life, one that rose her to a dangerously low front. But like the tides, her life rose above it's tumultuous hours, and for now, would remain high, hopeful for better days.

But still she found herself wandering, searching for a purpose in these lands. She was stoic in her job as a healer, no one seemed to need her expertise. She used her magic to heal injured woodland creatures, but even they were few and far between. She turned to gathering herbs, but the fertile soil of her herd already harbored abundant amounts of useful herbs. Finding useful ones elsewhere that were in season was proving to be an arduous task.

She turned to the Halycon Flats, one of Helovia's less explored terrains, in search of herbs instead. She wasn't particularly fond of the Flats, for her tail dragged in the water, making it smell of salt and seaweed for days. But she was hopeful, and remembered the Flats as serene enough to spend a couple of tranquil days at.

She moved her hooves through the water, searching under rocks and seaweed for any signs of useful, undiscovered herbs, her mind focused solely on the task at hand. When she saw the sunset colored mare from afar, she considered simply continuing with her self-assigned tasked, but the mare seemed to...glow?

Agnodice slipped through the starry waters towards the sunset girl, glass basket in mouth and flowers encasing her dainty bodice as they fell. "Hello," She murmured when she was close enough, setting her basket down in the water by her hooves. Fortunately, it proved to be a sturdy creation. "I'm Agnodice, Caretaker of the Hidden Falls," She offered, falling short on what else to say. 'Yes, I, uh, saw you glowing and wanted to know what that's about,' lacked the affable tone she was trying to leak into her social interactions. Admitting it would surely make her sound judgmental (which she was).

Therefore, Agnodice stood quietly, turquoise gaze fixated awkwardly on the sunset girl, for she lacked the social dexterity to make pleasant conversation about topics she found trivial with strangers she found even more trivial.
