[Caitlyn should really know better than to wander by herself anymore. The last time she went anywhere alone, the Rumpturians attempted to kidnap her. But given her recent sentencing, she needed to clear her head. She didn't intend to wander into the woods, but something drew her in. A sense of peace, calm to her troubled mind. It felt good, to be able to settle, to relax, to rest without her mind bouncing around at a million miles per hour--

She didn't even know she had fallen asleep until she felt something nudge her, and she stirred. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes, then glanced at the curious person with their hand on her shoulder.]

Yu? What are you doing here? Was I-- did I fall asleep?
