Lettice had spent the best part of the morning out in the forest doing laundry. A few hours ago in this same clearing, she had hung damp sheets between the trees like the awnings around camp, and she was now in the process of taking them down again. She sang a high tune under her breath as she stretched up and bundled the clean material over her arms.
It was a small load, and her task was completed quickly. Agile as a cat, Lettice spun on her heel and disappeared from the little clearing into the greenery of the forest. She padded barefoot through a leafy trail, (known only to the druid folk that lived nearby) ducking under low hanging branches from memory and using the laundry to push aside the large ferns that brushed across her path.
Snap! Somewhere not too far away a twig snapped.
Lettice stopped dead still, her wide brown eyes flicking to one side, and her head turning ever so slightly. When she heard nothing out of the ordinary, she dipped her head to check her hold on the laundry and then continued forward; her pace increased only a little.

Keleth was walking through the forest with a little speed in his feet as he passed branches, trees, and bushes. Something in his mind was telling him where to go through the forest it was as if he had remember these parts once before. Which was strange because he has not been here for 7 years. As he continue to pass the trees he had stepped on a trig which had snapped in half loudly for anyone around him to be heard. Silently he stood their frozen in case something did happen and he was about to be torched by someone. Few minutes passed he took a deep breath and increased his pace a little as he continue to walk through the forest. A swift breeze flew through the forest as the branches of the trees began to wave through the air. Keleth looked behind him to reassure himself that no one was following him when he had ran into a female and fell to the ground. Closing his eyes as he fell to the ground Keleth slowly opened them to see him on the ground staring at a young female who looked familiar to him. Slowly getting up off the ground he stared at her more wondering who she was and how did he know her, and all his mind was giving him was a big fat nothing. Walking to the right of her almost like he was going in a circle around her he stopped and lifted his hand down toward her to help the young female up. "I'm sorry about that. I thought I was being followed and well I ran into you when I looked behind me. Do I know you from somewhere?" Keleth spoke to the female and apologized and asked the question that had been on his mind when he first saw the female.

Lettice had barely moved down the path before she heard another noise, and on turning to investigate... the ground rushed up to meet her with a soft thump. The laundry landed a little further down the path, and Lettice stretched her arms out behind her to prop herself up from the ground.
She was shocked when a man walked around into her line of sight. Her heart beat a little quicker; Was this an accident, or had the man been tracking her? He was not one of the nearby druids, and so she felt a little on edge. Remembering that her magic could be accessed at a moment's thought, combined with the fact that she knew this part of the forest like the back of her hand, Lettice felt a surge of reassurance.
Ignoring the stranger's question, Lettice gestured toward the sheets that now lay in a dusty pile near the man's legs. "There goes a whole morning's work!" she complained, standing upright and dusting herself down with a flick of her wrist. "There's a whole forest around here, did you really have to run into me?" She was only partially annoyed, more curious about the stranger stood before her. As the forest was her territory, she felt a lot less threatened she should have.
"I doubt very much that you know me..." Lettice began, tucking a long strand of hair behind her ear and taking a closer look at the man's features. Something pulled at her memory, something she couldn't quite put her finger on. "I'm Leticia. Lettice." she offered her hand to the man standing before her, wondering if her name would ring any bells.

Looking at the female who seem to be annoyed with him as it looked like her mornings work was useless as the sheets fell onto the ground. "Well it just so happens that the forest guided me here to you!" He spoke as he responded to her question that might of just been her talking to her self. As she introduced herself she took his hand and shook it, but as Keleth shook her hand it almost felt like a force of memories rushed through his head. Letting go of her hand he stepped back away from Leticia. Why did her name sound so fimilar to him, and why did he get a flash of memories from his past he thought to himself. Determed to find out why she seems to fimilar he readjusted him self and walked up to her and helped her with the sheets. There was one sheet that had strayed away from the rest which he bent down to pick up. "I guess this belongs to you? Why does your name seem to fimilar to me?" He grabbed the sheet and handed it toward Leticia and then asked a question which seemed to be Keleth talking to himself. Then he relized he forgot to introduce himself to her, "Sorry, total forgot. My name is Keleth Silverkin!" Keleth spoke as he smiled at her hoping she would know something.

Lettice accepted the sheet wordlessly from Keleth, bundling it into her folded arms with the others. He seemed quite at home in the woodland surroundings, not nervous like most strangers would have been if they had wandered so far from the marked paths.
Well it just so happens that the forest guided me here to you!
Why didn't she believe that? It sounded like a poor excuse. She was just about to say so when the man introduced himself as Keleth, and Lettice suddenly remembered where she knew him from. The last time she had seen him he had been a lot smaller, although still taller than she had been.
"Silverkin." she replied with a knowing smile, "Once druid, am I right? I remember running through the woods from you when we were younger." She still kept her distance from Keleth; they hadn't exactly been close friends when they were younger, as they had been from two seperate druid camps. She remembered the harmless "wars" that had raged between the children of the different camps. But since he'd left, she hadn't seen him in years. "What're you doing now?" she asked, "Why have you come back?"
