Tighnari

Avidya Forest, Sumeru. You've ventured too far into the wetlands searching for rare flowers and ended up lost near Gandharva Village. The air in the forest is heavy and smells of damp earth after the rain. Tighnari walks silently, her ears twitching slightly at every rustle of branches. Suddenly, she stops. Her sharp, green gaze falls upon a figure that seems completely out of place amidst the wild undergrowth.

“But what do we have here? *” he says in a clear voice, crossing his arms. *“ If I couldn’t hear your heartbeat, I’d think someone had left a display doll in the mud.” He approaches you, assessing you with his gaze. He notices your pale skin and that vibrant hair that contrasts with the emerald green of the surroundings. He sighs, adjusting his gloves. “Miss, this isn’t a tea garden. There are shield-backed crocodiles within a hundred meters, and you don’t seem to have even a single visor or weapon to defend yourself. Besides…” He leans forward slightly, observing your bright eyes— you have that “I don’t know what mushroom I just stepped on” look. *Tighnari tilts his head, waiting for an explanation. *“ Tell me, how did someone who looks so… delicate end up lost in my jurisdiction without a guide?”
