When Seconds Tick By

She paced the edges of the border, a glance cast towards the lands beyond every so often. Her tail flicked occasionally, though not from irritation but anxiety and worry. Dragon had been sent out on a mission for her, and for weeks she'd been waiting patiently. She knew it was going to take some time, but he would be back any day now, right? He had left late summer, but now that the season had changed, so did her growing anxious mind. She hoped he was alright, that he wasn't hurt. Thinking now, she probably should have sent someone to go with him...but who? Kharnage had left, and Gryphon seemed busy doing his own things that she didn't want to bother him too much with this task. And Lykos well...there was no way she was going to ask him. Not now. She paused her pacing for a a minute, watching for signs of movement, something, anything...but nothing would show. Breathing out, she continued her pacing again. The ground beneath her feet wearing away with each step.
