"I... I uhm..." Mori's dark hair overshadowed her eyes as her brow crinkled in concentration. When she looked back up at Benjamin, her freckled cheeks seemed a little paler than they should, allowing for the cold. "Uhm."
She actually didn't know how the pages reacted to things. They'd found one in a store, and the other up that tree. The tree one hadn't been moving at all from nook of branches it was wadded into, but there hadn't been a scrap of breeze that afternoon - she remembered because she had climbed the darn tree, and hadn't felt it swaying around under her.
"If... if the paper moves... than either the boundaries move, or it can only move within the boundaries. Which either means we're following a moving target, that we're going in the wrong direction, or that you're just getting me worried for no darn reason!"
It wasn't like the pages floated in columns of shimmering starlight waiting for the chosen Prince to come and rip them from their bonds. They were pages. Magical pages, magically -indestructable- pages, but just pages. ....totems. Trophies, really - just something flexible and identifiable that they were all tasked with collecting.
Mori pulled fiercely on the fuzzy grey earmuffs and ran her fingers through her hair, knotting them tightly near her scalp, and then let out another loud sigh. "Argh! I don't know! If I suddenly feel resonance then we'll know we're in the wrong spot. Lets just keep looking while we've still got the advantage!" and immediately continued stomping in the same direction they'd been heading, at double-time, now.
Maybe this page would be in a column of light, so no matter how fast she walked, she couldn't miss it. Who knew?
