Bring Me Back to Life

Cae smiled sweetly, enjoying the presence of a new and friendly face. For so long she'd neglected to attempt things that once seemed like a normal part of her life, making a friend being one of the most neglected aspects of her life in the past few years. She decided not to dwell on how the sudden possibility made her realize how lonely it was to know so few faces anymore. Most encounters were with someone new to her; it would be a nice change of pace to be able to meet another wolf more than once.

"Very true, they're only a few flaps of the wings away from taking off for wherever they want to go. An appealing concept, though perhaps it'd good we are restricted to the ground in some ways..." she responded slowly, growing a bit quieter as her words trailed off. It would have been even easier to try and simply run from her troubles if she'd possessed a pair of wings like her little warbler friend. That was no way to resolve anything though, time and failure to free herself from the dark shadow of her past had more than proven that sometimes being cornered a bit could turn out to be a very good thing. To have the freedom of a bird sounded like both a blessing and a good way to accidentally cause oneself unwanted issues. Maybe she was just overthinking it, though.

Surfacing from the depths of the thoughts she'd been absorbed with Cae beamed at the younger girl, excited to see how this interaction might progress. "Wonderful, I'm sure it will be very fun. Are you from around here, Esmee?" Cae hadn't really explored many of the islands, and mostly stuck to the southern lands.
