While she walked down the path, she looked around at the sky. The clouds drifted by lazily and reminded her of wisps of cotton that were set adrift in streams during festivals. Lilius smiled at the thought of the next upcoming festival and hoped she’d be able to try some great stall foods.

Before she realized it, something fell from the sky rapidly in her peripheral vision. She looked down at her food and back at the top of the trees where the thing was last visible and decided her baked goods could wait. Lilius pushed her way through some of the underbrush, the scraggly branches scratching against her bare thighs.

She tried to push her way through one bush and felt something a bit heavy knock against her sneaker. Afraid that she had disturbed an animal, she crouched down to make sure she hadn’t caused any damage but saw something glinting in the dirt. She gingerly grabbed it and stood back up to examine it in the light. A shuriken? All the way out here? I really hope this doesn’t mean any trouble…  Lilius tucked the shuriken into her basket, carefully avoiding the berries, and continued heading forward. She was curious about if that form was a practice dummy and maybe someone got too violent with it.

She came to a clearing and looked around, trying to figure out where it came from. The minute she turned around, she recognized some sacs with tears all over amongst the trees and tied to some wooden posts where she was. Realizing her mistake, she quickly hurried out of the target practice range.

Lilius finally spotted someone and began walking towards them, but she kept her grip on the basket. This was a stranger, so she couldn’t be too sure of them.
