It speaks to Zofia's hiding skills that Archer has to rely on her specialised abilities to find her. Every forest has a song, and she follows the low notes of broken twigs and disturbed leaves to follow her Master's trail. It's artfully covered, but not well enough, and before long she comes to a stop by a fallen log and a large rocky outcrop.

She's here somewhere, hiding herself, stilling her breath. Archer could let her go, let her sit there in silence and stew over what happened, but a lack of communication was what got them into this mess in the first place, so she sits down on the old log, feeling the cracked bark and the dampness of the wood underneath it, where collected snow has melted into water.

"Zofia," she says softly. "Please come out."

As much as the train fascinated Marian, there was only so much of countryside flashing past at nigh-impossible speeds that she could watch before some boredom started to lurk in the air. Besides which, once night had fallen, there was nothing to do at all but stare at the ceiling of the little cabin that was theirs for the next few days. Watching Zofia was an entertainment in itself - trying to discern what she was thinking was its own art form - but after a while, she simply had to do something or she'd go seek out someone to toy with out of boredom.

"Zofia," she begins, currently residing in spirit form to allow her Master more space to lay down. "How much do you actually know of my legend? You seemed surprised when I changed into one of my disguises."
