Sidequest: Find her clothes

Ruby’s gaze shifted around to other trees, checking their limbs for any signs of her lost clothing. She had no luck. Other than her cloak, she spotted nothing in the immediate area… Greaaat, she thought to herself. She had no clue where her semblance could have blown her clothes or what direction. It seemed that she had darted about every which way while avoiding the boarbatusks, so her clothes could have been blown anywhere. Part of her wondered just how long she had been gone from the group for, but that thought was quickly pushed from her mind by the more pressing issue on her mind.

She felt a little squelch under her feet once they were secured, the soles of her shoes still damp. As much as she wanted them to dry off a little more, she wasn’t willingly going to part with any more of her stuff while she searched for the rest. That just seemed like inviting more trouble.

Ruby knew her first course of action already. She was going to get her cloak back. Ruby took a few hesitant steps in the direction of the tree that claimed her cloak before starting into an awkward jog. Once she arrived at the base of the tree, it dawned on her just how high up her cloak was. The tree before her seemed like a skyscraper…
