She seemed to ponder his question for a second. "Something like that. Don't worry, she can take it."

"Why would i? This is quite serious, after all." She replied.

She simply shrugged. "Well? Go on now."

"Thought you might want a drink." She said. As if on command, a small vase beside her seemed to vanish, replaced by a surprisingly modern-looking metal flask. "Got this one from the mountain settlements. It's not cheap, so don't go smashing it up."

Eventually he arrived at his destination, the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. After trying to navigate it the name's origin would be made quite clear: He found himself lost deep in the bowels of the forest.

The map lacked any sort of detail on the forest, which made navigating particularly hard. However, looking up he would notice a small light from what seemed to be a campfire in the distance.

As he approached he'd realize there was a human sitting by the fire who had not noticed him. She had white, ankle-long hair and red eyes, and was wearing a pair of baggy red pants with suspenders and a white shirt, the latter having had its sleeves scorched off below the elbow. Her hair was tied up with a large red and white ribbon and smaller ribbons of the same colors adorned her hair near the ends.
