For: @icexpackxjc Where: Looking for Meena, woods

If wasn't that Aaliyah didn't like JC. Really, she had no strong opinions one way or the other about Meena's new paramour. Sure, it was fun to tease. He could be loud and abrasive in council meetings, but he was deeply caring, at least when the wolves were involved. That made him tolerable, at the very least. Since Meena had gone missing might have been the most they interacted one on one ever, though. Aaliyah rarely spoke up in Council meetings, preferring to pretend that she was asleep than needlessly contribute to the petty squabbles of the rest of town. But, now, here they were, trekking through the woods searching desperately for any sign of the missing mayor. "Maybe they should have kept Lorelai alive for a little longer," she mused, just managing to keep the frustration and bitterness out of her voice. "If only until I could have forced any information she had out of her." Surely the big bad Catalyst knew something. And, well. Aaliyah had more pressing matters to deal with, but, truly, she would have loved to wrap her hand around that woman's heart, just so she knew how it felt. "This feels fucking useless."

Ash walks. They choose no destination in particular when they start. They only know that they want to be moving. It hasn’t been long since their arrival in Fortuna and they’re still not used to lingering in one place for very long. If they stop moving for too long, they’re afraid they’ll forget what it was like to move at all. So they walk until the sun climbs high in the sky and hollow ache in their stomach tells them its about time they sought out something to eat, which would be a simple task if they had any idea where they were.

They approach the closest man to them and attempt an awkward wave. The gesture is a little too fast and a little too robotic to appear natural. “I am Ash. I don’t know where they keep the food yet. Do you?” @jc-castillo
