Keita frowned when her eyes registered the scene in front of her.

For context, Max had described a rocky waterfall, with gushing streams of water cracking against rocks. A glitterling blue dancing against a cold but inviting grey. Magical is what he called it; nothing short of the ineffable beauty of nature.

However, in front of her was auburn brown grass. Dead and cold and uninviting. The mist danced against it, awakening the hairs on her arms as a shudder ran through her bones. Her frown deepened when she spotted the house hiding behind the all-consuming mist, calling her name subtly.

She knew that Max would never lead her astray. Not intentionally at least. So she continued walking, her eyes dancing across the sharp, harsh grass that seemed to growl at her presence. _How unnerving_, she thought to herself, before focusing her attention on the house. The jade green trees behind it swayed surreptitiously in tune to the howl of the mist, sending another cold gust of breeze upon her.

The door opened slowly and revealed her boyfriend leaning on the doorpane, his smile nothing short of amusement. Keita's eyes lit up automatically as she took in his casual attire and dark locs framing his face.

"I knew you'd find it," he gleamed, opening his arms as a greeting. The hug sent a surge of warmth through Keita, who moved into the house as he ushered her into the warmth.

"And the waterfall..."

"Right behind you."
