Tree branch: check. Assorted lightweight seed-bearing fruits and nuts: check. Other seeds: check. Water bottle, for when she has to veer away from the river: check.
Better not linger in her starting place too much longer. Yellow's faster than her and may have already come home to a wreck. Thorn might have a habit of checking up on the place, even, just in case. She's invisible, inaudible, unsmellable - that won't help if he sends someone thorough. Or comes in person.
She sets out.
She's been flying for about thirty minutes after her shopping trip when she falls through a tear and squeaks inaudibly and lands in the middle of -

"Some don't. Others pretend not to. But when things get bad enough that's the question that matters."

"If you bring me a murderer or rapist and tell me what their name is, I will be willing to tell them to stop that. Sorcery is not a suitable field weapon in this world."

"You can go invisible. I don't know what else you can do, but don't tell me you can't fight. If you choose not to, that's you choosing."

"I can turn invisible in this room. If I walk out the door, that ends. Sorcery doesn't work in most parts of the mortal world."

"Your powers were working when I took down that guy today. If you wanted it to be a weapon, it'd be a weapon. But if you're opposed to fighting effectively like the Pig is, that's on you."

"The Director. It's a nickname. She's always on my case about going easy on the bad guys, no serious injury and all that, even though I know for a fact that some have gotten away because of it."

Shadow Stalker freezes for a fraction of a second, then recovers. "So what? You going to do anything to her?"
wormcan
"She's not going to tell you, and you can't make her without letting her know you know hers. Obvious bluff."

"Really? On purpose?
PRT director under the control of an unknown cape, you think that turns out well for you? It'd be like if she had a staring match with Valefor.

"She can find out anyway. I told her how to check. If she wants me gone all she has to do is not invite me to come back again after my gate settles."
wormcan
"She'll have to invite you back. You're less replaceable than she is and she knows it. But even before the gate's ready, you tell her and that door stays locked."
wormcan
"You tell her and the PRT considers you a threat, is what I'm saying. And you don't have any reason to, unless it's to get back at me for letting it slip."

"I can't help but notice that this would be convenient for you, while I was planning to stay in this room until my gate settled anyway."

"I really don't care if they lock the door. I have enough paper to entertain myself. I will tell the Director what happened the next time I see her."
