Alexandra and Jentus continued to talk as they walked. She did not pay any attention to where she was going and was only following Jentus with the thin blanket wrapped around her trying not to trip on the trailing end on the ground. She was aware of how the large trees were starting to block out the sky above. The intricate weave of the leaves of the trees, the wind blowing through her hair and walking through spider webs all intrigued her.
It was hard for her to explain why she loved nature so much, she just knew that she did. Looking up into the sky only made her long for the moon. Her mouth watered and her tongue licked her lips of their own accord within the moment she had glanced at the moon and she did not notice, but Jentus did. He tried to ignore it, but it was hard for him to do so.
Having a spider web sticking to her flesh and getting intermeshed with her hair made her feel good that she was alive. The feeling of sand and mud between each and every one of her toes was phantasmal for her and gave her a strange feeling of oneness with the ground beneath her feet. It also helped her stay fused with reality. Reality to her was that which was real or had the effects of what was real. Lately she was not sure of her surroundings and smoking that pipe did not help matters much.
