Anya caught a movement out of the corner of her eye that included a weapon. Tech. Did everyone have tech? She hit the ground, rolled, came up with her blade at the ready, and leapt at him. A quick sweep of blue eyes as she tried to tackle the stranger took in a familiar black coat--she'd seen it before from much further out. She pulled back her blade, didn't care if it was soon enough or not. He'd been a victim, too, but that didn't make him a friendly. Her brother's motto had been "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," fool thought that it was, and it had gotten him killed. Anya preferred "the enemy of my enemy'll be dead by sunrise so the rations last longer" than take a quasi-trustworthy knife to the back.
Grounding out an audible curse, Anya followed his question up with one of her own. "Did the tree hit yer head?" She pointed with her free hand toward the blaze. "Pretty sure controlling the situation is out. Never been in a forest in my life, and even I know setting the place on fire is bad!"
"I mean," she said with a step forward, advancing with her knife still looking murderous, "who the fuck sets a forest on fire? On purpose?" Her pointed ears swiveled, straining slightly to hear for more vines. "You find the guy, I'll take him out--" she began in an imposing voice that carried, then cut herself off as the ground swelled under their feet. Gotcha, ground. Testing the waters, finding out where she was, who he was, if he'd fallen prey to ill-meaning physicians too, and what the hell was going on in general...these were important things, but paramount was the immediate terrain. "Forget it. Get to safer ground and take that accursed tool with you." She swatted the tree nearest them with the flat of her palm and it rumbled. "Climbing them and setting them on fire seems to aggravate things, so I recommend avoiding the greens. Ciao!"
Hoping the trees would calm, hoping that distance would get her out of death-by-carnivorous-flora range, Anya adjusted the vitalife bag higher on her shoulder. With a wave, she took off in the opposite direction from the roar of fiery trees, unaware the fire was being combated by a group of warriors who had reinforcements arriving from the same way.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
