your fingers are a distant sky

The darker woman called back, giving chase as Caelestis growled and barked and zipped across the seemingly endless expanse of grass and hills fast as her legs would go. Her mismatched eyes were wide with joyful wonder as she watched the world around her, pace slowing for a moment as some yellow-breasted birds went soaring up from the grass ahead of her, chirping indignantly at the running wolves. Puffy white clouds rolled lazily across the sky, some of them looking like funny shapes. What a great day!

In the midst of her appreciation of the wonderful world around her the girl had slowed down, but upon realizing this she kicked off and raced hard over the next knoll. The older woman was gunna pass her any second! Of course, she would have regardless because the youth was losing steam. After cruising her way down the other side of the knoll, she had to stop in the valley before the next one, huffing and puffing and sucking in tired breaths. "I give, no more running!" she laughed between gasps, falling on her side and rolling and kicking about through the greenery the second she could breathe well enough to do so. Eyeing the woman from her upsidedown position, Caelestis asked, "What's your name? I'm Caelestis." Her lungs were done, but the girl still had energy, so she rolled over once before landing on her other side and grinning like a fool. It was hard to sit still when being alive and wiggling about felt so good!
