[Q2] fruit from the poisoned tree

Coco, the esteemed High Princess of Rivain, stood out among the group, as her decision to join them seemed unconventional. While she could have comfortably remained in the palace, the threat of an Antivan royal's demise made her realize that she, too, could be a target. Coco refused to meet such a fate and understood that if she were to become the Queen of Rivain, she needed to exhibit strength and resolve. Overcoming her anxiety regarding the forced marriage with the First Talon, she focused on the plight of the people, unwilling to stand idly by as they suffered. Despite her royal status, Coco chose to act as an equal among her companions, determined to help without expecting special treatment based on her rank.

As they caught sight of a caravan, Coco's eyebrows lifted in intrigue, responding to the Reaper's Words with a hushed remark, This can't be mere coincidence. Her gaze then shifted to Cian, a slight glare betraying her friendly nature subdued by the seriousness of the situation.

Have you forgotten that we are a team, Cian? she asked in a partially stressed and annoyed tone. Reaper, don't listen to him, we need to exercise caution. Bethany is right and walking straight into this obvious trap is unwise. We should consider using a lure or a clever ruse... If we can trigger a direct movement or touch, it might reveal what's hidden. Coco tilted her head, contemplating their options. I possess the ability to transform into animals, in this case I could become a bird. Perhaps I can drop something onto the caravan from above, or even propel stones to create enough noise to alert whoever's with us without causing damage to the caravan. However, I suggest positioning myself on the other side for that, so as not to lead anyone directly to you all.

She suggested before looking at the others, wanting to make sure everyone had a chance to speak. Does anyone else have an idea on how we should inspect carefully?

TLDR;

• Coco joined to help the people and prove herself, she does not wish to be treated differently because she's royalty.
  
• Scolds Cian and tells Reaper to wait instead of going first.
  
• Suggests using her shapeshifting or earth magic to potentially lure any enemies out rather than just approaching the caravan.
  
• She asks if anyone else has an idea on how to safely investigate the caravan.
