She was alone for a long while, enjoying the peaceful cool day. It was rare she left Fiori's lands, and the change of pace was refreshing to her. It was nice to be on her own, completely, for a bit - even if the journey was a longer one than she was used to. She remembered a day when traveling days, or even weeks, consistently was no issue at all to her. But even now she found herself grateful for the rest, and wondering how much longer she could go today before needing to return home. After drinking, she pulled slightly away from the river's edge and lay her head on her paws, reclined contentedly against the earth. She wasn't completely oblivious to the arrival of another. The scent reached her far before the sound of their pawsteps were audible. He moved slowly enough that she found no reason to immediately suspect he had bad intentions. As he drew closer, she turned her head, sapphire gaze lifting to find his. He wasn't familiar to her at all, not really, and a faint smile toyed with the corners of her lips at his greeting. "Greetings," she replied, her tone soft as her tail batted gently at the dirt beneath her. As she examined him, she confirmed her suspicions that he seemed harmless enough, and his question seemed conversational enough. "I was enjoying some time away from home. What about you?" Returning the conversation, she twisted her body to face him more easily. |
