Something To Do

[Heart's Sorrow]

Well, that was something. His reaction had been a bit more extreme than what she had expected, but good enough. As It ran around in circles, Soure stepped backward until she was behind a tree, then moved behind a second, keeping to the shadows. She made sure to keep track of what direction he was facing, moving only when he was faced away.

Soure eventually made it nearly 100 meters away, watching his shrinking figure from behind an old, wide tree, her hand resting on her quiver. There... I should be able to get back to the university.. She turned and quietly walked away, her black clothing and the shadows cast by the decently dense woods keeping her from behind seen until she was bitten by a mosquito on her neck, reflexively slapping it before freezing, hiding behind a tree from fear of being found out.

Unfortunately, It was now without a vict- I mean playmate. And that meant there was little else for him to do at the present. He could always try wandering the campus grounds, but the odds of him running into someone unpleasant were dishearteningly high. Most likely, there'd be a repeat of his last visit to TSU, and he'd get beaten up again, something that even he was smart enough to avoid now. Instead of attempting to find someone else to play with, It simply slunk away, avoiding contact with other humans as much as possible.

It didn't seem to notice the slap of her hand, and she breathed a sigh of relief, starting to walk again. That was way too creepy... She rolled her head back and let her neck pop, her eyes shutting. Hopefully, she'd never run into It again.

It took her a little while to find her way back to TSU, but when she got there she kept on walking, going home to restock her supplies and take a much needed nap.
