"Fine." 

She glances around for any convenient large objects to hide behind. The Living Clothes thing might not leave her much in the way of privacy, but that's no reason to just give up...

Well, there's the hill. 

"Stay here," she says, and hikes over to the other side of it. 

There isn't anyone on that side. Good. 

 

 

A little more than an hour later, she comes back, looking significantly less disheveled than she would if her hair wasn't supernaturally cooperative, and starts thoroughly scrubbing her hands in the stream. "You good?"

"Oh, yes. That was plenty for today, and a bit for tomorrow, too."

"Awesome." 

...Lucy really, really needs a hug. She sort of leans covertly against her doppelganger.

Oh good. Today has been kind of a lot so far. And some of it has been a good lot, but--wow she really needs this hug. 

Huh. She appears to be crying on the other ??girl??

Well, okay, that can happen. 

"I'm sorry," she says after a while. "All this, and I--I still don't know your name."

"I don't...have one."

"--Right, just started existing. Uh. Do you want one?"

Hmmm. Looking at her is like looking in a mirror... L U C Y, Y C U L... Ysool... Yseult? 

"Yseult?"

"I like it."

"Well, Yseult, any idea where the nearest civilization might be?"

She considers this. "Well, we're in the Wastes, and the most densely populated areas are in the Untainted, and from most places in the Waste you can get to the Untainted by going west, but if you're in the far north of the Wastes and you go far enough west you get to the Consumed, instead...going east would probably take us to either the Green or the Grey...those are both inhabited, the Grey less so than the Green but most of the people who do live in the Grey live on the edges, which is obviously where we'd wind up first. Going south might take us to the Untainted, if we're in the northern part where going west would lead to the Consumed, but more likely it would just lead to more Wastes, before you get down to the Green or the Sands...of course, there are people living in the Wastes too. And North would probably just take us to the White, which we could handle but, enh, it's really cold and the people there are less friendly than the people lots of other places."

"Let's head south," Lucy decides after a moment, then squints at the sky. No, that's not just her imagination, the sun is a bit higher in the sky than before she went around the hill...and it's in that direction...which means this direction is south. Or, like, possibly southeast or southwest, but good enough. 

Off they set.
