#8 Out and about again (open)

After a long, well-earned rest, Rubes woke feeling happy and refreshed. She wandered out to the main courtyard, content to spend the rest of the morning just watching the world go by rather than risking her life doing something stupid. At least she hadn't been too badly injured so she decided not to inform her parents of her little trip into the forest. 

Lying down on one of the long seats around the edges of the courtyard, Rubes stared up at the sky. She couldn't help but wonder what could possibly have happened had she stayed in the forest rather than leaving at the first sign of peril and uncertainty. Would she have survived or would she be in eternal rest, forever following colourful butterflies through a field of daisies?
