At least the walk helped her clear her head a bit. Being away from everyone - and everything - else always made clearing her head easier. So much easier to think without so much useless noise buzzing around. A few plants were picked up, placing them in her satchel with care after examination. For the most part, she ignored the animals. Fuzzy, little balls of fleas. At least there wasn't any dogs. She hated dogs most of all. Large, furry, mongrels...that liked...licking everything. Ugh. Eventually, finding a small stream she hadn't been to before she found a few plants. As she reached down to pick one up, something quite unexpected happened.

And whoever this 'Aislinn' was, was quite lucky she left most of her self-defense concoctions back in the cave. One does not simply 'surprise' someone out in the middle of a forest! Queen? Of all these lands? While not impossible, this particular queen didn't look very...queenly. Not that she didn't exactly have ever met any queens, but the barbarian tribes sometimes had queens, and that one nation to the south had an 'Empress'. 

Standing up, it was clear from her look she didn't entirely believe her.

No way she could be queen, and even if she was, wasn't like Charlotte had any obligation to be overly nice to her. She walked past her, walking over to a fruit bearing bush nearby and plucking a few berries from its leaves.
