She didn't know what it was, a sharp pulse in the air that took her breath away. Tim, her boss, told her to drop what she was doing and go look, a strange knowing in the shamans eyes. Distrustful of that expression, Ana was reluctant but went anyway, gathering her back and her magically charged coat.
Prepared and protected, the coat like armour to most things, Ana latched on to the residual touch of magic in the air and followed it to it's source, quickly finding herself in the Gardens of her city. Following the main path, and cutting across a neat green lawn to the gathering of figs close to the university, Ana slowed as she felt herself get close. Reaching for her personal wards and readying them, she peered into the shadows. Someone was there. Someone vibrant, their aural signiture like a brilliant band of colour.

He'd been out to get his friend some meat for supper, or for him, it didn't really matter, all that mattered was this wasn't home and these nymphs weren't any the wiser than him, or, at least, they weren't confessing to him what had happened.

The witch paused where she was before clearing her throat.
"Excuse me?" If he turned, he'd see a woman of average human height, a mane of reddish curls hastily tamed back from a pale face. Her garb was simple, a green coat over a reddish brown shirt and a silvery skirt that hid the tops of her heavy black boots. What power he'd feel was hidden for he most part, present but far from threatening.
"You need some help?"

"Do you know how you got here?"

'I wouldn't put it past them to drag me to a different forest but this is something else entirely.'

She could feel the pull from where she was, a heady little call that spoke to the sides she kept buried unless she delt with her patron. The parts of her that ached to chase and be chased and to- Ana cleared her throat.
"Ana Adams." She said, risking giving her name. "Ah... You're in Brisbane. These are the gardens here."

His voice was having a powerful effect, tugging at the things she kept bottled away while she was in public. Looking down she drew in a breath to calm herself.
"Ah, would you like some help? I... I can tell you're familiar with magic, but most people here aren't."

"Ah... Yeah, just a bit... You've got a presence, did you know that?"

"I can't tell if you're amused or not. Or what youu're... You know what. Nevermind. I came here to offer help." She looked at the arms holding her.
"believe it or not."
Doesn't even begin to cover it. ;)

"Ah. I have to go work but... my hospitality is yours and my help. If there's anything I can do."
