*Definitely not now. She just wants to go home.*

(.... making a mental note of this spot.... perhaps I'll save the coordinates as well.)

*And she goes back home. Gideon can have his baked goods another day.*

he will definitely still be happy to receive them.

[artifacts-and-magics]

Phew...

*she looks down at the mothling emerging from her hair.* Are you alright?

*The mothling squeaks in affirmative.*

Good... *Gaia takes the baked goods out of her hat and places it back on her head before looking back at the forest and her current surroundings.*

she's not where gideons shop is but she is in another plaza nearby she recognizes. don't really got much else for this interaction unless she confronts him.

*She doesn't mind too much, she just keeps going until she gets out of the forest.*

and she gets out just fine, surprisingly. definitely odd she did so easily but whatever, the coin likes her today.

*And that's exactly what she starts to do as soon as he starts to leave in her direction, hat off and baked goods inside as she slips between trees and roots through the fog in order to leave. Weaving between trunks and hurrying quietly along the uneven ground comes thankfully easy to her, she remembers running through woods like these... its much easier with having vines as well, some that raise out of the ground just enough to give her a stepping spot before disappearing under the dirt again.*

he doesn't spot her, to be honest he's more focused on just leaving more than anything. the fog makes it hard to navigate and the rush makes you lose gideon pretty easily.

[artifacts-and-magics]

*Gaia continues to watch quietly.*

it would probably be a good idea to leave before he...or she spots you. especially since gideon is heading back your way.

[artifacts-and-magics]

*Gaia sighs of relief at the situation de-escalating, although she herself almost feels insulted by the comments about his face... he can't be that bad.*

*... now she's curious...*

(No. It's not my place to see if he doesn't want people to see.)

he ignores her comments to hurry up and leave already as he sifts though the landfill for any useful items, putting anything he finds in his bag but nothing of extreme note. any tea related item is immediately taken from his hand upon touching it. man this lady really likes her tea sets.

after about 10 minutes of nagging and sifting he finally gets up to leave.

[artifacts-and-magics]

(Try it, madam. Try it. See where it gets you.)

*The vines jut out a bit more..*

gideon just sighs and complies taking off his hood, she cant see his face from where she is but she can see the spider lady smirk pleasantly as she mocked him.

now that wasn't so hard, not like your face got any prettier. still as ugly and pitiful as always.

she giggles as he puts his hood back on.

are we done.

take what you want and get out immediately, I don't want to look at you more than I have to.

[artifacts-and-magics]

*Gaia feels her face grow cold as she sees the woman's face go red and furious. That can't be a good sign at all.*

*A few small vines peek through the ground near Gaia's feet and hands.... ready to spring out towards Gideon and the mystery woman at a moments notice.*

the silence stays tense for a long time, her anger fading to distain. he's right, she won't kill him. why is a mystery though.

is there something else you want from me or can I take what I want and leave.

take off that stupid hood already, I want to see your stupid sad and pathetic face so I can feel better about myself.

so blunt.

now! or maybe I will kill you!
