In the end, Peregrine knew that Tsiry was right. It was already past midday, and she had no hope of climbing to the mountain's peak and descending again before night fell, and she didn't exactly want to sleep on a wind-battered slope. The waterfall called to her, but she would deny it for now. Perhaps that would be tomorrow's adventure, but for now all she wanted was a meal and something to distract herself with. Perhaps something a little less... labor intensive. They had not gone far at all before the smell of another drifted beneath her nose. She had found the trail of a recent wanderer, no older than a day. Her brows rose, knowing the stranger was probably still around somewhere. The breeze was at her back, so Peregrine was at a loss. Tsiry did not have her sense of smell, but the lemur always knew when her friend had come across something interesting. Peregrine put her nose to the trail and off she went. Again, it was not long at all before she found her prize. A lump of dark fur lay atop a large rock. She seemed to fit comfortably with the stone's features. Peregrine still clung to the shadows of the brush which surrounded them, likely unseen, but the other female seemed keen on her presence all the same. Or, at least, she had covered her face and wore the most discontent expression on her face. Peregrine grinned. Her satchel was slung across her back, but Tsiry decided that it was not the place for her, as she typically did when Peregrine had her nose somewhere it ought not be. "Hello there," she called out in an overly cheerful tone. "Beautiful day, eh?" She doubted the woman would be hiding beneath her paws if she felt the same way, so extra emphasis was put on the word 'beautiful' just to drive it home. She was eager to know what this fae had in store for her, rooting around for buttons to press before she'd even really begun. Perhaps today wouldn't be so bad after all. "Tsiry" |
