[There's a new girl in the gardens today.
It's probably easy enough to see that she's new. She's still wearing the white shift she'd awoken in, after all, apparently electing to carry her own clothes in her arms. The only change is that her hair is now tied back with a band that sparkles strangely in the light, and a battered pair of yellow sneakers protect her feet. She has her school uniform bundled under one arm, and with the other, she holds a scroll in front of her face, reading closely and determinedly as she walks through the grass and the flowers without any obvious destination in mind but a clear determination to get there.
But every so often she pauses, looks up, looks around. She sees an orchard with crisp autumn leaves in the ground, and she wants to go and jump in them. She sees a field of glistening snow, and stops herself from going to make snow angels. She comes across a riverbank heavy with the heat of summer, and shakes off the drowsy impulse to take a nap, despite the fact that traveling dimensions is hard on a kid.
And she is just a kid, still just a kid. However, she resists the temptation to play like one and, after one last look of longing towards the beauty around her, instead trudges on, reading as she walks, having no clue where she's going but determined to get there all the same.]
((ooc: Chihiro's most likely to be found not walking at the "season change" areas of the garden, but otherwise, there's a small girl still in her shift and reading her scrolls and heading somewhere. Bother?))

She doesn't know why, but she's also never been one for ignoring her hunches. But, diplomatically:] It's really pretty. I wonder why the Queen doesn't spend more time here?
no subject
Maybe she's busy.
[She hadn't thought much about it; the Order's tradition of "female deity makes paradise for people because she wants them to be happy" never covered what the deity was doing.]
no subject
[Whereas Chihiro just had a natural inclination to distrust matriarch's in positions of absolute power with the ability to reshape someone's entire world and keep them from their home. She couldn't remember specifically why this was so, but that specific sort of person had always made her wary.]
I'll look for her somewhere else. I mean, these gardens are nice, but they can't go on forever...
...can they?
no subject
There's an end, but you can't get there. There are wolves.
[Wolves: absolutely terrifying obstacles.]
no subject
[Wolves certainly sound like an absolutely terrifying obstacle. Especially if they're as smart as the cats.] Well...maybe I'll go when they're asleep. Wolves have to sleep some time, right? And I can move really quietly.

Be careful!
no subject
[...] Y-You be careful, too. [Looks can be deceiving, of course, but Alessa looks as though she'd be able to hold her own against wolves about as well as Chihiro could.]

[...of course, careful attention to the precise phrasing of this answer will probably reveal that Chihiro doesn't intend to do the same.]
