[ Merrin, likewise, is drawn to the Witchwood more than any other place. She uses her abilities to grant safe passage to any mortal fools who wander through here. Being stupid is not a reason to die, though some perhaps more unsavory characters will have to face the consequences. She watches and observes often, fearing little as her steps take her through the jungle and quiet memories rest in the back of her mind while she dreams of stars she's not sure she's ever actually touched.
She keeps to herself much of the time, used to a more solitary existence (when was that?), but drawn nonetheless to others like her, to form connections she still finds new and unfamiliar.
Others wander through here, mortal and not, and she's aware of them; like Aegis, she knows every footfall, every sound, every movement. It's only when a demigod stirs and demands attention that she's moved to intervene and when that happens, she doesn't hesitate. She should not be surprised by the voice, but it startles her nonetheless. Her expression, however, remains impassive as she draws closer to observe the tracks. ]
Some would leave them to their fate.
[ This is not her disagreeing to help. In fact, she's more than willing to lend aid. But she's curious about others in the Pantheon, all of them with a wide spectrum of powers, histories, and personal motivations, many who would find no reason to trouble themselves with a mortal who got themselves lost. ]
