Archie had slipped so far back into the plush of the car seat during the ride, that it looked like the cushion was eating her. Her arms were folded, and she had her legs up, tucked beneath her as she looked out the window. Her turquoise eyes clouded over as she leaned on her elbow, her chin resting on her upward palm. She watched as the trees passed by in a rough green blur, occasionally opening up into a brief second where the sky was visible, but the moment passed quickly, and the forest consumed her view again. Trees, nothing but trees, for her, it was nothing special, she grew up in a small rural town, but for some reason she could never set foot inside a city, or a swelling feeling of nervousness would begin to gnaw.
"Excuse me sir, but are we close?" She asked, her quiet, soft voice piercing the cold silence that hung over the car, and she looked towards the mirror hanging in the center of the front of the car, and she saw the man behind the wheel glance back at her.
"Shouldn't be long, miss, only but a few minutes." He said plainly, his voice flat and he directed his gaze back to the dirt road.
"Thank you.." She murmured, lowering her gaze back to her own palms, which now lay in her lap. Using a finger she traced the thick black line of her tattoo which ran around her left wrist. It was simple, but both complicated at the same time, the design was of a leather bracelet, and on the top of her wrist, an ink feather was connected to the ink bracelet by a single bead, and the slightest bit of colored ink gave the feather the slightly brown and cream appearance of a sparrow, the bracelet a dark shade of brown, and the bead a reddish color. She shot back to the present when the rumbling of the engine was no longer present underneath her, and she lifted her eyes to see they'd stopped, apparently having arrived at their destination. Without a word to the driver, she opened her door and stepped out, he didn't pay her respect, so she didn't have to give him any. 'This is it.' She thought to herself, her emotionless eyes scanning the area as she wondered where she was to go next.
