Magical Reserve - Preserve Next to the Cabins, Wednesday

"Hullo everyone!" Merlin greeted those who came with perhaps a bit less of the enthusiasm he had about ice cream the other night.

Alright, quite a bit less.

"Today we'll be trying a bit of what the fighters did yesterday with hide and seek. Though for us, I think it ought to be okay to use a bit of magic to aid ourselves. If you're able."

Which, sadly, he was not.

"So, pair up and get to work."

"Oh yeah." Leda said sheepishly. "I didn't think of that."

Karla sighed. "Well, think of it for next time. Or I'm barging into your room and dosing you like a puppy."

Then she gave Leda a sly look. "But, since you're obviously feeling better, I guess it's time to see if you can catch find me. Count to fifty?"

Karla dashed for the woods, raising a sight shield as soon as she got into the treeline. Within a few steps, she'd also begun walking on air so as not to leave a trail or make noise in the underbrush. Settling down in front of a tree, she waited.

Darn, Leda hadn't even gotten a chance to make a joke out of Karla dosing her.

When she got to fifty, she went into the trees and tried to think of a spell she knew that would allow her to find Karla.

Maybe the one she'd sometimes used to find her shoes or something when they were lost? It was incredibly short range, so if Karla had gotten too far it wouldn't work.

She tried it, uttering the words in elvish, replacing the objective noun to a personal noun ~~Mun hopes that makes sense~~, and replacing shoes with Karla.

It must have worked (yay practice sessions like this overriding her geas!) a little anyway because she started heading in the right direction.

~~Totally made sense~~

At first, Karla just assumed that Leda had seen her enter the woods, and was choosing the logical direction. Then, however, as she grew closer, Karla realized that the other girl had some kind of magical bead on her location. Standing up, she began to move sideways, keeping an eye on Leda, thankful that airwalking meant that she wasn't making noise in the underbrush.

Leda frowned when she reached the place where the trail ended. That was the thing with this spell. She'd only ever used it on stationary things.

"I'm gonna find you Karla." she said, not even sure if the girl was still in earshot. "And when I do I'm gonna tickle you."

"You're going to have to find me first," Karla's voice floated over from Leda's right.

As soon as she spoke, she dropped to her hands and knees and scurried backwards, assuming Leda would be looking at about head-height.

Ah hah! Leda headed in that direction. And yeah, she was looking at around head height. She figured Karla must be doing some of that air walking, to not make any noise.

"Where are you most ticklish?"

Karla popped up again, "Who says I am?" she taunted, before dropping down again.

This time, she crawled to Leda's left, trying not to snicker.

This was like playing marco polo only with her eyes open.

"I have my sources." she said, wishing her ears came with an enhanced hearing. She headed for where she'd heard Karla, but then suddenly changed direction. There was no way Karla would still be there.

Hell's fire! It usually took people a little longer to realize that. Karla hadn't gotten far enough away. So, she did what any quick thinking witchling would. She called a small rock towards her, enough to rustle the underbrush a bit. The underbrush that was slightly further to the right than her current location.

Well Leda was used to sneaky people. Still she did take a step towards the rock before she thought it might be a trick. Kara'd been so careful not to make any noise like that.

The step hadn't taken Leda far enough away for Karla to be comfortable. So she did the same trick again, only this time from a different direction.

If Leda couldn't be fooled into following the noise, the least Karla could do is make sure she had no idea where Karla was.

That much was working. She tried to think what she would do in this situation. And took a step backwards.

And stepped right into where an invisible Karla was trying to sneak by. "Oof!" she said.

Leda spun quickly and wrapped her arms aound whatever part of Karla was at shoulder height. "Gotcha!"

And missed, because Karla was still crawling on her hands and knees. She'd traded stealth for speed--not that she could get anywhere quickly by crawling--so Leda could probably hear her if she listened.

Damn. She did hear, and tried to close in. Possibly tripping over Karla in her haste.

You know, this had seemed like a good idea at the time. But that was before Leda had tumbled over her. "You okay?" Karla asked, standing up and coming out from behind her sight-shield.

"So much for the grace of the elves." Leda mumbled from her position on the ground. "Found you."

"Did not," Karla protested. "I came out of hiding to make you you didn't snap your neck."

"I tripped over you, that totally counts."

"You tripped over me because you couldn't find me," Karla argued. "If I hadn't been concerned about making sure you didn't break you neck in the fall, I'd still be hiding. Totally doesn't count."

"I tripped over you because I stepped right where you were. I found you accidentally, but I still found you." She was trying not to laugh.

So was Karla. "Maybe, but you couldn't have kept me while you were tumbling ass over teakettle. I totally could have gotten away again."

Well there was that. "Yes neither of us were very combat ready there. You checked on me, and I didn't grab you when I could."
