It's getting late.

Vague concern of becoming lost in the dense woods, so different than the other neighbourhoods he had seen, is a distant kind of worry and the least of the current concerns that Lucius Malfoy is currently working through. There are spells and enchantments for that sort of thing. There are also things for which there are not any spells and enchantments at all, magical principles dictating that nothing comes from nothing. Everything comes of something. That's actually rather the problem.

Rather than move upon the beaten road, Lucius moves in parallel to it, relying on trees and long shadows to keep him at least partway concealed from those who aren't looking for him to begin with. Boots will become filthy in damp dirt and scratching bramble, but they are also only one of two sets that he's been wearing for the last little while, and most of their polish and what made them fine has long since scrubbed down in scuffs and wear. Fabrics of good make and dark tone don't exactly blend in with his surroundings, but he isn't really counting on this either.

Nor has he ever done this before.

But sometimes he reads.

A Homenum Revelio charm is currently why he is moving with any certainty, the presence of the charm making itself subtly known to the person it detected like a chill, or a predatory shadow over her head.

[vanities]

As she comes more into view, climbing neatly back onto the beaten track that she'd earlier wandered off, the trailing glow of moonlight from the glass jar she's carrying on a chain might've given her away without alerting her to the fact she is, indeed, presently being watched. That might have been better for him; she doesn't alter her pace or her direction, but now she's going to be ready.

It'll be a shame to lose this jar if it comes to that, she thinks, but it has a good heft to it and it'll buy her a bit of time to get to her wand.
