[It's a very odd dream that she has. She sees the ghosting edges of the waiting room during her exams one minute-and the next, she's laying on her back, the scent of acrid smoke in her nostrils as the sun grows dark. It is a shock enough that she is surprised she didn't 'wake up' then.
That is about when she realizes it's 'happening'.
What she does wake to is a voice-gentle and calm, bringing her eyes open not in a snap, but with a flutter. What she sits up to however, is cold. The girl shivers, garbed in a dress and light vest, and nothing more. What a terrible thing to wake up in-but more importantly, she thinks as she becomes more aware of her surroundings, this is not the examination room. And she can't find any reason to believe this would be part of the exam either. What reason would there be to bring them to a place set up like this, after all?
And she feels some sort of need to move, some need to walk along the path ahead...]
Ffffhhh... ...cold...
[Holding her arms and rubbing them momentarily, the girl sets off with a grimace, wandering the path she feels so strangely compelled to take even as questions burn through her mind.]
[THE HEART]
[The caverns she finally makes her way into are thankfully far warmer than the outside-at least to her cold-sensitive skin. As she makes her way inside, curious eyes wander the walls as well, far from ignorant to the runes that lined certain locations. There are so many eggs in this place...some almost as large as she is, and others so small she could almost step on them if she weren't looking.
Yet to all of these so far, while there is an occasional pause to stare... ...well. It's clear to her now what she's looking for, but the girl shakes her head and continues walking on, her hands held in front of her almost like some sort of kangaroo as she goes.] Mmnh. It's not that one....
[NUREN, OUTER & LOWER]
Excuse me, sir. Is there somewhere I can purchase a coat?
[By the time she wanders back into Nuren, her vest has become somewhat sacrificed in order to carefully form a papoose on her back, the belt-cord now securing it rather cleverly in place. What little can be seen of the egg looks almost like jelly-and even seems to bend like jelly, oddly enough, but for now Tsuyu isn't really paying it any mind. Instead, she's frowning as she gets her answer. 'A coat? In this weather?!' the man she's questioning exclaims. 'You should be fine with what you have, if not a spring jacket at most! A coat is far too warm!']
...It really isn't. I'm very sensitive to cold, you see. [The man seems rather bewhildered by this-clearly the child doesn't know what she's talking of, hmm?]
[EVENING | NUREN (in general)]
[She's carrying, at the moment, quite the basket of things. They are small comforts that she has been granted, certainly-but small comforts go a long way. First, was a basket of foods; mostly harvest fruits, things that were aplenty already, but there is a small bit of meat and cheese as well as some sort of jug carrying water. 'You can use it to after you empty it the first time', she was told when being handed it, and it leaves Tsuyu carrying everything with a somewhat uncomfortable expression on her face. The pile is added to-a pillow, a few little charms, even a thinly made quilt when one old woman notices the constant shivering, the fabric covering the pile as they continue along the way up toward the cavern homes. But the most Tsuyu can think to herself, before actually saying it (admittedly to herself) is....]
Um.
...This pile is getting a little hard to carry-I appreciate all of this, but is there something I can use to balance this better..?
[EVENING | The Caverns]
[So then. This, is home. A cavern carved into the rock of the mountain, the mountain heat keeping it nice and warm and sheltered from the crisp chill outside. With so many tunnels linking everything, it's a wonder she found one for herself she feels. None of the caverns are actually linked (so far, she finds), but all the same as she finally comes to one that doesn't seem in any way lived in, she sets her things down and sighs.
....So this is home then.
She takes her egg down, and lays it carefully on the bed in the cave, staring at it in silence.
