{@RedheadsNewborn} -- like a waterfall, her piercing eyes filled with intensity and maybe a bit of thrill as she gazed back at Ashley.

{@RedheadsNewborn} Victoria fell back against the tree, and the kiss was over before she could respond to it with something more than --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- closing her eyes. A lopsided, open-mouthed grin grew on her lips as she took a moment to catch her breath. "Of --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- /course/ I know where the cabin is," she protested stubbornly after a few moments of silence. Vi tried not to get --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- stuck on the memory of her past with Laurent, instead envisioning the cabin she missed, and being there with the --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- person she'd been missing."The /real/ question here is, do you know what you're up against?" Vic teased, pushing --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- away from the plant's trunk to stand weightlessly on her own feet, drawing in Heidi's scent. This was the smell --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- she'd been chasing for too long, one that she wouldn't let go of ever. And now it was with her for good. She shook --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- herself out of her thoughts at the woman's next words, grinning devilishly. "And of course I'm coming," she added --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- on, running off and disappearing into the foliage with a playful laugh.

{@RedheadsNewborn} Victoria's intense gaze softened as she realized it was only Heidi, meeting her as they had planned, instead of a --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- guard or some other threat. She was calm instantly, wrapping her arms around the other woman in a tight, quick --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- embrace. If they stayed here too much longer, they were going to be found, captured and taken back for sure. She --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- couldn't let that happen, knowing how her companion wanted to get out of here. She shrugged a heavy, dark backpack --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- to a more comfortable position on her shoulders, also taking a moment to tug down the hood attached to a sweatshirt --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- that looked more like something a human would wear than she. But she needed something to mask her red locks, and --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- this did the job well enough. "I suppose you're ready to leave? I almost thought you weren't coming, although I --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- wouldn't dare leave without you," she smiled, doing her best to keep the atmosphere light despite the dangerous --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- task that lay ahead of him. Her voice was scarcely above a whisper and they didn't have much time to spare, but she --

{@RedheadsNewborn} -- had to pause, lean in, and press a comforting kiss against Heidi's cheek.
