Karabela loped down toward Starling, wincing just slightly as a miss-step caused her to cut her front left paw just before she skidding to a stop in front of him. Oops, ow! She wrinkled her nose at the cut and lapped at it for a second as the man before her stuttered out a hello and failed to answer her question. Her head cocked to the side as she gazed at him realizing that perhaps the question was more personal than she really intended for it to be and that she may have crossed some line. He seemed ashamed… for what? For wandering? She could understand the need to get away and wander it was in the very fabric of her own soul though she was a bit miffed he didn't check in a few times.
Rather than dwell on it Karabela just giggled. "Come climb with me! I want to see the top of the volcano. How about you? Are you out here gathering herbs?"
