Curious.

Very, very curious. While the pity from earlier was still present, it was drowned out by that all encompassing force; that human wonder, the cat killer. Her eyes twinkled, her lips tugged to the side. Hildegunde had half expected the half elf to go storm off and cry, but this? This was much more interesting.

She also had the suspicion that being caught following here would have higher stakes than anticipated. She paused for a moment, just a moment, to recenter herself. Silence was casted upon her boots (and out of habit, her gun), obscurity over her clothing. Up went her hood, leaving all but her lips concealed. At first, she considered following Chloe through the gaze of something else in the woods - her typical target were birds - but she ultimately deemed it too unreliable. No - she would continue to follow herself by foot. She was sure to breathe shallowly, step with purpose.

In a way, it was almost routine. After all, while she had only been here once before, she had, in a sense, been here many a time. Different woods, different prey, but the same concept rang true. Watching in silence. Her element.

Finding out what was written in her Adapa or who Chloe was talking to was likely a bridge already burned, but to find out where Chloe was heading off to with such purpose and secrecy, and more importantly, why, was still on the table. What was hiding in the woods that Chloe knew of that she did not? Or, perhaps, what was Chloe hiding, that she was trying to hide in the woods?
Hildegunde when she's voluntarily following the person who ultimately got poor Ciara into this fucking mess:
Hildegunde watches Chunji go, giving a low hum as he exits the classroom. His words hang in the air, heavy on Hildegunde's shoulders, even though she was not the subject of them.

"If you're sure, professor," the hunter says simply, shrugging her shoulders all too casually. Chunji had more or less said what she had on the mind, and seeing no reason to stick around or add insult to injury, she follows suite and exits the classroom.

The original plan was simple. She was hungry before class, and hungrier now still; she would leave to eat in the precious few minutes left.

But without particularly meaning to have at first, Hildegunde finds herself following Chloe, a few dozen paces ahead of her. With her usual aversion to the girl now overpowered by pity and confusion, the hunter's curiousity wins over her hunger. She retains her distance and follows the misty eyed girl, so as to give herself plausible deniability that she is not following if noticed. All the while, she tries to make sense of three things:

1) Where Chloe is headed off to

2) If she should even approach Chloe

And, more importantly

3) What the hell she was going to do next once and if she actually approached. Or, more aptly, how to talk to her without further angering her and getting pruned.

Her mind draws a blank. For now, she simply observes, all while pretending she has elsewhere to go.
I didn't get cake but I still had fun C: thanks everyone

@Nanaya, quick question before I finalize my post. Do you mean to have Chloe meet up with Otis and co? Or is she heading elsewhere?
Sorry, last couple of days have been busy and yesterday was my birthday.

Should have a post up later today
Post is up. Short one but I'm eepy.
Would Davil be fine? Hildegunde didn't feel at all eased by Alto's words, but she had greater worries. Partially, her reignited wariness of Chloe. Mostly, the upcoming fight between Iraleth and Ciara.

And, of course, most pressingly, if not as importantly, Alto's new injury, no thanks to her.

The bullet would dissipate after a few moments of being fished out. Apparently, whatever Hildegunde shoots with her Ethos isn't the same as her normal bullets. Once its job was done, it was gone.

"Sorry professor. You know how it is, can't un-shoot a gun," Hildegunde mumbles. Very thankful at the moment that she had shot it after all. If she hadn't, she might've gone with Otis's plan. That probably wouldn't have gone well.

She moves over to look over Chunji's healing, and makes a face. Oh, that's an artery. Did she hit that? She was specifically going for a nonlethal hit. Of course, it wouldn't be the instantaneous death a shot aiming for the brainstem would be - there were more than enough healers to prevent death, but nonetheless. This was a fact she'd keep to herself.

She felt a little bad, mostly because now that the lesson was over, this was a completely unnecessary pain And she was down a bullet for Ciara and Iraleth - not that it'd help now that they all knew about PBs. She'd have to be more careful in the future. Especially if, when the time came, she'd have to follow a plan like Otis's after all. Something like that could not allow for a margin of error. She makes a silent vow to be more careful.

Speaking of. Exit Otis, then Ciara. Was class even dismissed? No matter. Not like Alto could teach in this condition. It'd probably bite her in the ass if she followed, as much as she wanted to. Awkward situation and all, but he was her professor. Bad person to have a grudge against her.

"Do you want help getting to a proper healer?" Hildegunde offers.
Hi everyone, I'm back now but I'll need some time to play catch up.

Edit: Catch up done. Expect a post sometime today if not tomorrow.
I straight up can't have a round for the forseeable future. I'm so sorry everyone, design week is murdering me and it turns out it'll be 3 weeks. AND my keyboard is fucked.

EDIT: To add to that, if you need to write Hildegunde out of the plot because 3 weeks is a longass time, I understand entirely. My program is exceedingly strict (you can fail an assignment you got a 69% on if they decide you weren't hitting bench marks quick enough despite your final mark) and I am struggling hard. I really hate to do this but I gotta do what I gotta do.
@Nanaya Literally take as long as you need.

As a heads up on my end, Design Week, the heaviest part of college for me, starts Tuesday, so I might need to be skipped. We shall see.
