Clearly, peace and quiet was too much to ask for from the world.  The exclamation of surprise, at a disgustingly high volume, had the woman shooting up into a sitting position, a glare leveled in the general direction of the disturbance.  She saw two males staring at her: one phoenix, one elf.  The former was the speaker from earlier given she recognized the tattered wings.  He also had messy yellow hair and a scarf misacting his face lengthwise.  The latter had long white hair hiding part of his face and wore what looked like white and black armor from her vantage.  Neither of them seemed that threatening despite their staring.<br/><br/><span style="color: royalblue">“Make a painting! It lasts longer!”</span>She snapped irritably at them, oddly uncomfortable with their scrutiny.  The previous non-threatening feeling was rapidly vanishing.  She got to her feet warily, immediately feeling better now that they weren’t looming over her.  (Though, she noted irritably, at least one of them was still taller than her.)  Her fingers subconsciously encircled her other hand’s wrist, trying to play with something that wasn’t there.<br/><br/>Now that she was standing, she noted she wasn’t in a meadow as she’d originally assumed.  Everything was too orderly to have been created by nature: the flowers marched down the plot of land in rows except where she and the two others had been laying.  Further off, though still in hearing distance, another two strangers stood.  One of them, the smaller of the two, held up some unfurled parchment.  The blue haired woman glanced between the two groups: noisy phoenix and overly-tall elf here, two unknowns with what could be a map over there.  There really wasn’t a question.  She walked off without another word, heading for the parchment-holder.<br/><br/>She came into range just to hear the boy's last two sentences.<span style="color: royalblue">"Why would there be trees in an orchid field?  The weirder part is these don't look like orchids."</span>Blue eyes surveyed the green and brown flowers critically before deciding it wasn't important.<span style="color: royalblue">"What kingdom are we in?"</span>
