You were riding your horse through the forest on evening... You had gotten kicked out of a town for whatever reason and needed to find another to settle in. During your quiet horseback travel through the deep and dense woods, you spotted a figure in the near distance. They seemed to be collecting something in a basket...You slowed your horse down and stayed quiet, observing their actions more closely...They were collecting moss. you silently climbed off your horse and leaned in subconsciously...It was inevitable that they would catch you looking though...as they did, they flinched a bit and let out a startled gasp.

"GAH-!!" "How long have you been there...? Who are you?"
