Come down, come down sweet reverence

They moved farther inland, Jynn keeping an eye out for some place that might make a good shelter for the night rather than sleeping on a beach next to the glowing water. Having gotten into a tangle with a leopard seal Jynn had no intention of staying too close to the water. She did not want to become fish food. Wait were seals fish? Meh.

The arrived at the god's garden and Jynn paused for a moment. She felt like she'd been here before but she couldn't quite remember. Or perhaps it was a memory of a place similar to this. She remembered arriving after a rain. The gray clouds shifting through the sky, seeming almost greenish as the light of the morning sun attempted to filter its way through. She could remember rolling green hills, plants off all kinds growing everywhere and up through square stone tiles. Trees grew here and there providing shade.

However, it was night now and the area was awash in hushed tones of blue velvet. She could hear the crickets singing as a gentle breeze blew through. The moon took the place of the sun, a glowing white orb unmarred by clouds. A full moon.

As the pair of ladies walked, Bowen yawned. She enjoyed traveling with Jynn, but she was ready for a bit of sleep. Night was upon them and soon they would both be able to rest their eyes and indulge in some much needed rest. Their bodies would recharge and they would be ready to continue their travels in the morning.

Green eyes roamed over the equally green landscape. This place had once been something else and that was obvious by the strange, uniformly shaped stones in the ground. Nature had reclaimed this place. It no longer mattered what it had been, only what it would return to being.

Up above, the moon did its thing, casting its soft, white glow on the land below. It made Bowen think of how beautiful the moon looked as it reflected off of the rolling waves of the sea, but she pushed the thought away. She wasn't a seafaring wolf anymore and it was best to leave those thoughts behind. Locating a patch of thick, plush looking grass, Bowen settled down. This being Auster, the season was warm and she didn't think they needed a fire. However, if Jynn decided to make one, Bowen wouldn't argue. She also wouldn't have an issue sleeping beside the woman so that they could share body heat. Whatever Jynn was comfortable with would be fine.

The garden was filled with an intoxicating variety of scents and beautiful plants. Her eyes found some roses and Jynn had to wander over and give them a good sniff. The moonlight spilled out over the garden, casting its silvery light over the terrain and something about it seemed to give her a boost of energy. She padded further into the garden, her claws clicking on stone as she wandered. She glanced back as she heard Bowen settling down in a patch of deep emerald green grass. Jynn bounded over, tail wagging before she flopped down. "Tired? If you want we can rest here but if not I think I've still got some energy to keep going. I am curious to see why the Starlit Plains are named the way they are. I bet they're really neat at night."

Jynn approached her, posing her query and inwardly Bowen groaned. She was tired, but she didn't want to hold her traveling companion back. "Just a little rest," she admitted. Enough to give her paws and legs a break. "Your legs are a lot longer than mine," the young woman grinned before turning her face up to look at the moon. The surrounding trees swayed with a gentle breeze and that breeze brought the scent of sweet smelling flowers and herbs along with it. The caramel colored fae sighed aloud, her tail swishing in the rich, green grass. "Could you ask for a more perfect night?" All they needed was the sweet lull of the sea and Bowen would be completely content. "As for the plains... you'll see." Bowen grinned. It had been quite some time since she'd seen the plains at night. They were definitely worth seeing again.

Jynn grinned and chuckled a little at the mention of her legs. Yes, that was true, Jynn could cover quite a bit of ground in fewer steps and the night was still young, there's be plenty of time to rest a few hours and still see the plains before dawn arrived. Jynn settled down next to Bowen, tucking her front legs underneath her chest and letting her tail wrap around her left thigh. The crickets continued to sing and a gentle summer breeze blew in. Jynn closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze for a moment before nodding to Bowen. "It is indeed. I love summer nights like this. Something about them just seems so peaceful and nostalgic."

Bowen closed her eyes and breathed deeply of the night air. The crickets sang and she heard the hoot of a hidden owl. Typical night sounds. All of them soothing. Orange ears perked as Jynn spoke of the feeling of nostalgia. Bo nodded in agreement. "Nights like this make me think of nights on the ship. The gentle rocking waves of the sea. The sweet, salty smell of the ocean. There were no crickets or owls, but there are other nighttime sounds on the sea." Had Jynn ever been on a ship?

With a sigh and a stretching, the smaller woman rolled onto her back, swinging her body from side to side and kicking her paws as if trying to scratch an itch. Really, she was just warming up her body so that they could get going again. Rolling to her paws, Bowen nodded. "That was enough of a break for me. We can continue if you're ready." With a smile, she motioned for the leggy fae to lead the way.
