Peace and Despair

The trees were always nice to look up at. She enjoyed how they would sway just a bit when a gust of wind blew through the forest, the sound of the leaves rustling was soothing in a way. She sighed once more in a more relaxed way, letting some of the tension out of her body. Letting go and just enjoying the moment was something she so rarely did. She'd be lying if she said it didn't feel nice.

Her head turned slightly when she heard the almost imperceptible sound of pawsteps, looking while still on her back to see who it was but not bothering to get up. She didn't feel like bothering, and soon was busy looking over at the man who had appeared. He was clad in tones of grey interrupted by a few patches of snowy white. Mostly she found interest in his eyes, a light blue that nearly matched her own. Normally it would bother her that she had gone a few moments without making an effort to respond to his question, but today she just wasn't up for the stress of being concerned.

Taking a bit to roll the question around in her head, she slowly moved to get up. Did she need help? Probably, but not the kind of help you just ask a stranger for, most of the time it was unwise to unload one's personal baggage on someone who wasn't interested in hearing it. Not that she'd ever met someone who did want to hear such things. No, besides that she had to assume he was referring to the possibility that she was lost. Which, Caelum would begrudingly admit only to herself she in fact was. Horribly, horribly lost. Luckily having walked for so long had left the woman tired and in no rush to leave. She could stay here for a while, let her paws have a break for once.

Pulling herself to a sitting position, she smiled gently saying "It's possible that I do... are you offering your assistance?"
