[ Himeka isn't much of a suspicious person herself. If anything, she's far too trusting, though that has ebbed over the last few years, in a seemingly endless series of hard but much needed lessons. She's better for it, but right now one doesn't need much skepticism to find the situation they've found themselves in troubling.
Visions of the star she had worked so hard to save crumbling--and the beyond to which she travelled to do that made it seem like all for naught. But the validity of these visions had yet to be proven. She has to hold onto hope.
And rather than dwell on these thoughts, she wanders. Staying still and in one place for too long has ever been a recipe for disaster so Himeka distracts herself by exploring as far as the guards will allow without giving her the stink eye or worse. It's in rounding one of the larger pillars that she realizes she's come upon someone's personal little encampment. ]
Oh! Sorry...
[ Mayhaps they were looking for a little privacy thems--
