Today While the Blossoms Still Cling to the Vine

Artemis, lost in the brutality of winter, had found herself mostly alone. With Crew disbanded, there was nothing to guide her, and not much she found herself particularly moved by aside from the seasons and migrations of prey. As she aged, the astral fae was finding herself less keen on company anyways, and more appreciative of her time spent alone. In her mind she had found her polish as a clean cut gemstone, as opposed to a rough stone. A gemstone who's edges were sharp enough to cut, but a gemstone nonetheless. Artemis walked lightly among the trees, gait graceful and light despite her size. There was a scent here that was familiar to her, one she had been seeking for some time. Her damn sister, who she didn't seem able to keep tabs on no matter how hard she tried, must surely be somewhere near by...

In true Iskra form, she'd not held still a moment in the time she'd spent wandering. While she loved her sibling dearly, and spent time aplenty thinking of the other starry woman, there was so so much to do. Places to see, explore, fun to be had. Ah, but the loneliness did overtake most everyone at some point, and Iskra was no exception. Time spent alone was tolerable, but rarely specifically sought out.
To remedy this, she was now harassing a small badger. One might even say she was badgering him a bit too much! Hah. Iskra giggled at her own joke, volume increasing as she'd already been chuckling as she'd leap side to side and swatted at the smaller animal. It wasn't all that old, so her paws were at slightly less risk than they'd have been if she'd decided to tangle with an adult. Whether it was consistent boredom or the blood that ran hot in her veins, something had the young woman itching to get into any kind of trouble she could get her paws on.
Distant thumping of paws on the earth alerted her to the approach of... Oh, no way! Waddya know. Art was pretty good at hunting her ass down. Isk would have trotted off to greet her sibling with as charming a smile as she could muster, but she kiiind of had her paws full at the moment with this really dumb game she was playing. Ah well, Artemis would find her soon enough. Meanwhile, Iskra had to leap hard to the right to avoid getting her legs clawed at. Close one.
