Light and Life [Open]

There was an undeniable connection between life and light, it was true. Kyrie had never disputed it. But there was an interesting process that was independent of the light in these photosynthetic plants. A process that could only occur at night, meant for survival, but not to be sustained over long periods of time.

And though most days she certainly preferred the night, she couldn't shun the sun, either.

The blonde smiled to herself as she worked, bending to tend the earth. There were times she could be slightly envious of those that could encourage and coax growth and a bountiful harvest. But, if truth were to be told, she would have it no other way. The hard work, her hard effort, meant there was value in it. It was not a thing of instant gratification, and for that she was grateful. For them, she had no doubt that being able to do that was just as fulfilling, but for her... The blue-eyed woman wouldn't trade it for the world.

Besides, her own gifts were great in their own way, and there was much she could do for versatility, she just had to be careful to not exhaust herself while doing so. With a sigh, she straightened and wiped the back of her forearm against her forehead to brush away the sweat forming there. It was approaching afternoon, and getting really warm. She was weeding, for what it was worth, and enjoying it. The blonde's blue eyes swept over the rolling fields as she stepped onwards, plucking another weed and adding it to the woven basket in her other arm.

Seph stopped walking, glancing around the area for a moment, her Hazel eyes taking in the fields that she had come upon. Lifting the bottle of water she had clipped to her side, she took a long drink and then licked some of the water off her lower lip. One good thing about this island is that it seemed full of trails perfect for hiking, there was lush vegetation everywhere, great places to build things up, big open areas. Reclipping the bottle to her hip, she pulled her camera that had been hanging around her neck up and started to click away. The shutter opening and closing repeatedly as she pressed the button.

Yes, this area was lovely, the fields looked perfect for perhaps a small processing point or something. Recently a house had taken residence on the side of the fields, tucked into the woods a bit. A place that she still needed to really take a look at. People had to go in there more often for hiking and hunting. Yes, this place was a developer's dream, but she wasn't really planning to do anything here. After all, this wasn't a tourist trap, this was meant to be a safe haven for demi-gods. Of course, having followed the battle, it was clear this place, wasn't as safe as it used to be. Still, she couldn't help her work side of her wanting to do things.

She started to trek a little further along the path before she stopped, noticing a woman in the fields working. Seph found herself wondering if she should actually stop and say hello, it was her style after all. So with a shrug, she picked up her pace as she headed towards the woman and called out when she was closer "Hey there!"

The heralded greeting had the blonde straightening quickly, her eyes drawn towards the approaching stranger. Camera, bottle. So, just someone passing through.

Kyrie had been lulled into the motions, the flow of her work.

She tipped her head, then offered a smile in turn.

"Hello. Are you just passing by..?"

Now that she was closer, the blonde's gaze flickered, looking for weapons, or anything that would lead her to believe the female in front of her was competent enough to have armed herself for her apparent jaunt.
