she needed some time to think by herself. she waited for the right time to slip away. she found a good spot for them to camp out behind the waterfall. the water cascading down from above was rather stimulating, almost soothing and if elle wasnt so restless, she probably would have taken the time to take an actual nap.
however, she told ace that she would take first watch, because that only seemed fitting at this point. they were the one that was mourning more than elle was. after all, she only knew nicoli for a short period of time. she would not sit there and try to pretend that she knew everything about him. it was enough that they had to talk shop now that he was gone, and that part wasnt going to sting any less.
she lost track of ace for a moment, though not really distraught over this, seeing as she could tell that they were having a hard time sleeping. elle was restless, and while it wasnt the best decision to leave someone alone, elle figured the bloody waterfall would be just enough cover to at least decompress. she traversed away from the water and leaned herself against a tree. she looked up at the moon and sighed before using her claws to carve out little wood shaving from the trees. it wasnt much, but it was good enough to take her mind off of what just happened.
these tributes trusted elle enough to help them survive another day, and elle did not do that. in fact, someone could argue that elle was the reason why another one of them died. she knew it was mistake, but she still went along with it. she went against her own principles, and to make it even worse, she was approached by the same group that ended up being the downfall of nicoli. what if they were able to convince her? how would have all of this shaken out?
even worse would be elle's guess.
she walked a little further from the tree she had just carved a piece of wood out of. she left it on the ground moving to another tree. she had no clue how this was all going to shake out. she was starting to feel better from all the medical attention she gave herself. the sound of the water had started to dissipate a little, but then she heard a rumbling from the nearby bushes. elle's hand moved to the hilt of her axe, knowing well that it could just be a creature. "whose there?" she spoke into the ether, waiting for something to come out of the woodwork.
theyd have to meet her axe before anything else.
