Khara looked away from the flower in her hand as Pho spoke, thinking over what he said. She didn't get to play a lot of games with the other Yasi when she was younger and they only had a few more years until they were considered adults and given their castes and pretty soon any one of them might get picked up as a proper apprentice. It seemed like the time for such things had passed her by, but now here was her friend, her new friend, saying it was perfectly okay to do those sorts of things still. Maybe it was one of those things that were considered making up for lost time.
They both did like being outside, it seemed. That was good, that meant they would be able to find things to do together a lot! But hide n' seek? Well...
"Maybe we can even start now, then?" Khara said, spinning the flower as she rolled the stem between her thumb and finger. "I mean, we can play hide n' seek with each other while we look for the flowers, can't we? If anything maybe it'll make us better at looking for stuff since we'll be learning how to look for each other too?"
The thought seemed good! Maybe hide n' seek was a perfect game to play! It could even each her a bit of how to find someone who was lost in the woods or maybe how to hide from a predator that was looking for you! It wasn't really what you were supposed to do when on a Bendi, but they weren't being watched and so long as they came back with the flowers they were supposed to... not that she could quite remember how many it was supposed to be... Ten, wasn't it? Either way, so long as they came back with the flowers with the white and blue to them then the Herbalist and her assistants wouldn't care what else they had done that day, would they?
Khara very much doubted they would. She knew she wouldn't. It was better that the Yasi made friends and had fun during their Bendi, anyway. It meant they wouldn't be so grumpy about doing things as she had to admit she had been a bit that morning. That had to be a good thing.
"You can hide first if you want!" She said with a grin. "I'll warn you now though, I was pretty good at the tracking classes so I think I'll find you real quick."
