Cabin Fever

It was spring, but the snow was still here. She felt stuck still, like she was unable to leave. She paced between two of the palm trees, her bells ringing out as she anxiously made her way through the line she had made in the sand. Giet sat on a nearby rock, curled up in a sun spot. He had grown tired of watching her do laps, finding a nice place to nap. But she couldn't stop, she was starting to get stir crazy. She had promised Xephyris that she would help him, but she had never been in one place for as long as this before. It was getting to her head, small whines pressing out of her pursed lips as she curled around the tree once more. Her ankles were pretty much covered in sand, standing at a slightly lower level because of the path she had carved. Jaelle knew that she couldn't just run away, not without saying something first. Eying the stoat, she wondered if she could talk him into staying here and telling everyone that she just needed out for a little bit. Even if she just took a trip for a week, that would be enough for her. Letting out another whine, she paused and looked up at the hill that would bring her to the top of the cove. Her monochrome body itched to just take a running start and keep going until she couldn't run anymore. But no... no she needed to tell the silver man first. Shaking her head, she resumed in her pacing. He had to show up soon, if not she just needed to go. He would understand, right? It wouldn't be forever, but she had been so good for a season. Jaelle needed out. |

Unless otherwise stated, Giet (Goat the stoat) is always with Jaelle. He is grumpy and mean, and may not always say nice things.
