The woman and child, Erza Scarlet and Claraina Carine, exchanged their greetings and pleasantries with one another. The introduction of Tigger, in particular, had the Scarlet Maiden's eyes sparkling with an intensity to match the younger girl's own. Their talk soon revealed they both were headed for the same place but at different times. Erza wanted to check a few things elsewhere first while Claraina wished to begin exploring immediately. She reached an uneasy compromise with Erza, whom was not entirely happy with the decision but agreed because she realized the girl was telling the truth.
"You take care of what you must while I go on ahead. I am going to look around and we could meet up later."
Perhaps it was Claraina's honest innocence or the spring of happiness that seemed to flow endlessly from her that kept Erza from asking for something more detailed and concrete. Sure, the girl had told the truth. She was going to look around but how far she was going to look she never said or set limits to. Similarly, the two of them could indeed meet at a later point in time; however, that could be anywhere from minutes to years away as far as either of them could guess. Miss Scarlet would possibly later realize this was why she had felt a little unsettled by letting the girl go alone but by the time she had figured it out Claraina would be gone.
The moment the trio had parted ways the youngster had dispelled Tigger back into the Mana from which she had spawned him and took his essence into the safety of herself. With soaring somersaults and fantastic flips Claraina sprang dozens of meters into the air. She would pick up speed with carefully coordinated cartwheels and hand-springs, bounding around endlessly and unerringly towards her destination. Just as her senses had made her aware of Erza before reaching the woman, with the same level of certainty Claraina front-flipped and vanished through the portal to The Tangled Green.
