Hey You

Zephyr appreciated his companion's company. It was easy to relax in his presence, and he wore a small grin that came effortlessly, spread across his features. Slowly he reclined at his friend's side, tail batting lightly against the earth. He wished he could delay telling Félicien the news, but he had never hid much from the man and he knew it would come up eventually. His mentor had always seemed to have a way of knowing when something was on his mind. He cleared his throat before tilting his head to the side, watching him keenly.

"Mmm," he murmured thoughtfully, ears flicking as he turned his head. His gaze found his reflection, rippling in the river's unstable current, hardly recognizable at all.   "I ran into Asha recently. Then Caelum. Guess she's still alive." His voice was somber, and only mildly disinterested. Their initial meeting had been.. quite difficult, to say the least. It seemed like she wanted to see him again, but how could he be certain? He shifted his weight on his front paws. Maybe she was gone for good this time. He fell silent, unsure what else to share since he hadn't quite decided how he felt about any of it.
