Leia isn't the only one who enjoys long runs, but Evie doesn't quite mind the weather. With her hood up, she's been enjoying her own run, music playing through her ear buds. The rain is natural to her, having been born so near London, having spent so much time in it. So she doesn't mind the damp, or anything.
But that wasn't what brought her to the tree. What brought her to the tree was the flash of something caught up in the branches, even through the rain. Without a second thought, she'd started to climb the tree, hands gripping tight to the bark and branches. It doesn't take long to scale the tree, only to find out that the something or other was actually just a wet newspaper.
Hiding her disappointment, she puts the paper in her pocket, and prepares to execute a perfect jump from said tree down to the gardens below. And said jump is perfect. Except the wet ground has even Evie slipping slightly, sending her into another woman as she tries to recover from the jump.
She hears the woman speak, even above the rain, above the music, and she rips her earbuds out of her ears regardless.
"I beg your pardon," she apologizes immediately. "I didn't see you." Her hood is still up, before she seeks shelter under the very branches she'd just come from.
