[Finding a familiar is something of a ceremony where Oswin's from. She really actually hadn't even given it any thought until she and the Doctor had made a quick pop home for her to visit her relatives and it'd somehow come up. Honestly, she didn't think she particularly needed one, she was perfectly fine with just the Doctor and Jenny and Nina, but it was something that should've happened, if...well. If everything hadn't gone to hell.

The whole thing involved going off into the nearby forest for the night, to an old stone that held lots of magical energy. Oswin wasn't too sure what would happen when she reached it, but she certainly wasn't against leaping into the unknown without an idea of what to expect. Besides, she was allowed to bring people along.

She'd asked Nina, in the end. Sort of made sense, having her along, and besides, she knew the woods better than anyone. Oswin knew the general direction she was supposed to go in, but getting lost in the woods didn't exactly sound like her idea of a good time.

She's got a ball of light in hand as they make their way down a beaten path in the woods, one that will hopefully at least get them close. The stone is deep in the heart of the forest, away from any path that's been made.]

Almost there, d'you think? [Not that Oswin wants to rush things, but wandering alone in the dark isn't exactly her idea of a nice evening. Maybe that's just her, though.]

[Being in the forest at night is hardly something that really bothers Nina. Granted, at a time like this she's generally just dozing and enjoying the moonlight, but Oswin's asked her to come and it's a special thing to be able to witness. Nina's connection with the woods around her make her more acutely aware of what's going on, how important and special this is.

Her bare feet are quiet on the leaf-strewn ground, feeling the damp soil beneath her. It's exhilarating, really, being back somewhere that she can truly connect with her environment. She missed it.]

We're getting close. [Nina agrees. Her voice is a little softer than usual as she listens and feels what's happening.] We'll have to leave the path soon.
