pull the pin & say

Like a fish out of water, Selene crosses into Auster. She's not used to this. She's so far from everything she's known, and she's been alone for what feels like an age. A pack animal. Sure, she was supposed to be a pack animal, but staying in one place? That was ridiculous. Something about the wandering lifestyle is in her blood and she loves every second of it. She's alive. Gods be damned, Selene is so alive. This place is so strange, so different. As she sets foot in it, a shiver courses down her spine. How charming.


Still, she soldiers on. Things are weird, overly quiet other than the running water sound from the crick. Cattail crick. Moving to the water's edge, sticking her face in briefly. The summer heat wouldn't get to her if she didn't let it, right? Still, it left her feeling dreary and sticky. She settles for a moment on the bank, splashing, face dripping from the fresh running water. Right. Summer days will make you sleepy. Nose on her paws, the starlit creature watches the world go by.

The scorn of the moon would be up in a few minutes.
