Tabula Rasa
"Traveling is always better with company," Okami's ears perked up, tail wagging nervously as the smaller woman came closer. "R-really?" She was glad that the woman had said yes, because Okami wasn't sure she could keep going across on her own. For one, she had never traveled this far on her own. The farthest she had gone was at most two territories away from home. She was afraid to go any further, despite her size. She didn't have a companion like her brother or her mom, and she had no clue about the potential dangers of the world out there beyond pack borders. Or at least, whatever didn't lie in the immediate area. Where she would go or what she would do after she crossed the Bifrost was beyond her, and she wasn't sure if she would go further or turn into a scaredy cat and run back home.
Well, she supposed she'd find out when she got to the other side, now wouldn't she? The small woman smiled at her, and in turn, Okami smiled back. She decided to quickly move tot he woman's side as the other started to walk, and Okami matched pace with her. She was both excited and nervous to have a traveling companion, however temporary it might be. Though she wondered if she might make a new friend in the process, or maybe even learn something new! That was a fun thought, though it of course, made her nervous as well. She glanced at the woman as she introduced herself, asking for her name in return. "Solveiga? That's a pretty name! Um, my name is Okami. It's nice to meet you!" She smiled, eyes closing for a moment as she grinned but it was short lived, for as soon as she did that, her large paws tripped over a shell in the sand. She stumbled clumsily, but recovered as quickly as she could. "S-sorry! It's weird walking in...sand. Ehe..." She cleared her throat, blue eyes looking out over the water, "It's so...weird, being surrounded by water like this..." |
