Valena Martell pushed her satchel back onto her hip.She had had a dream about this place, a place she had never been--a gorgeous meadow. But overlaying the whole scenic few was the the racing heartbeat of someone in pain--the agonized sound of their breathing.
It terrified her, because Skadi was out hunting. She was what Valena considered a bloody soquili. No matter where or what she did, blood and fighting would always seem to find her even if she had the most pure of intentions. Unhelpfully though, Skadi's intentions were seldom if ever pure.
But she had heard the breath rattle in her dreams, felt the searing pain until it woke her. And the only clue, the only thing that she could decipher were the poppies which Skadi had told her about. They were use to sedate or incapacitate someone who was seriously wounded or ill. All of the omens of her dream, this night time prophechy led her to believe that someone perhaps even her lover Skadi were coming to her in need of these.
It'd taken her two days journey to finally reach the meadow, after a lot of getting lost and following the wrong rock formations as guides--but she was finally here. In a field of flowers.
Valena waded into flowers, all the way up to her belly almost. She didn't know much, if anything about flowers except this one. And she knew enough of about what wrong assumptions others might make to not ask for directions to them.
A bright orangish red color appeared in the distance and she started angling herself that way.

The other mare looked at her and worst yet, she smiled and spoke with her. The first rule in stealing something or sweet talking someone was to act like you weren't. Create a diversion. At least that's what her mate had said, but she could steal the fur from a fox before it would even notice.
The only way was through, so she dived in.
Valena smiled quite shyly, "Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention either. I was just enjoying the meadow." Her mind whirred as she tried to think of what to say, "My mate loves orange so I thought I'd get her some of those." She pointed casually with her hoof pretending to have no idea what they were. "I mean, I think those are orange enough, don't you?" Good, she'd said something disarming.
This should be way easier, but she hadn't spoken at court in an age. She hadn't spoken to anyone in the dream world but Skadi in an age either. Hopefullly she was coming off as too much.
She moved forward and started to harvest the flowers as casuallly as possible while keeping them intact. The other mare was going to notice....But she had to keep casual about it. As though, this was just how one picked flowers.
