Monday, Spring 1 Time: 7:50 Weather: Sunny --- The man had gone, after a bit of splashing around, and Eli tried her best to bleach the memory from her head, still somewhat red-faced as she sat in the corner of the rock out-cropping. The stone was freezing, not yet blessed with the warmth of the spring sun, and were covered with light green moss that seemed to be dripping with water. Wetness spread across her back uncomfortably, but she refused to move until she was certain the black-haired guy was unable to see her, and when he finally was she slowly stood up and sped back towards her boots and art supplies. The damp air was getting rather tiresome, and after she had put her socks and boots back on and managed to shove everything under her arms, Eli began to search for an easy way out of the gorge. Not wanting to head to where the nudist had been floating towards, she instead wandered towards the main falls, drifting slowly on the slick stone underfoot while her eyes scanned the beautiful scenery. "Crap." her lips pursed, eyes narrowing. The walls around the main lagoon were much too steep to climb, especially with all the crap she was holding onto. No evidence of stairs to climb or tunnels to travel by, just smooth walls and new-born greenery. Eli scoffed and turned, but froze, the creeping of anxiety and fear clutching at her insides. What if that man was down that way, and what if he sees her O Gawd. Eli clutched her things between tight fists, mind in turmoil over the want to get out of the stupid ravine but fear of running into a nudist stranger. [i]'No, no, getting out should be a main priority, no need for stupid fears to bring you down'[/i], her mind instructed, trying to keep itself rational. Eli blinked once, then with a brisk nod spun around and nearly stomped back down the river. It felt likes hours until Eli found a spot where the stone walls were short enough for her to simply pull herself over, but in reality a whole ten minutes had just droned by. Trembling ever so slightly, Eli kept one eye on her back while she slowly maneuvered everything over the small cliff, and once her hands were entirely free she jumped up, fingers digging into a mixture of grass and mud as she quickly pulled herself up and over the edge. Still no sign of the naked guy. Good. A chuckle bubbled in her throat at her own fear, but she swallowed it quickly and gathered her belongings, eyes glancing around the small clearing she had manage to find herself in. There was the softest sound of bustle, perhaps the town was nearby, and just out of her sight was a large body of water, a lake perhaps. Eli grew curious, having not seen the lake before meant that it was probably full of beautiful things to draw, but no. The sun was finally rising high and it was probably a good time to go job hunting. [i]But...[/i] Eli walked slowly away from the river, towards the sound of whispers and bells and yells, but again she felt somewhat hesitant to speak to people. Her head was feeling a bit foggy, and her chest felt tight, perhaps another time. Yes, another time, she had enough money for two more weeks at the inn she could find a job some day other then today. Another excuse, but Eli found that she was the best at coming up with excuses, and with that final thought she allowed her legs to give. Items scattered across her lap, sketchbook flipping open while her pastels and pencils scattered across the sandy grass while her hair pooled delicately around her head. The warm spring sun stained her skin, and grass and newly-bloomed flowers tickled her hands gently. Lily of the Valley was so calming, it was a nice place, Eli noticed, for someone who likes the slow-paced life. "Perhaps a nap will do me some good..." Eli whispered to herself, arms reaching to prop her head up while her eyelids fluttered and then closed. She was asleep within seconds. --- (Time Skip) Monday, Spring 1 Time: 13:00 Weather: Sunny
