Now You Know
The girl was tired, no more than that she was exhausted. She was starting to have second thoughts about this adventure her uncle was dragging her and her brother on but at this point she was well and truly lost; she couldn't have found her way back to the place they had lived with their mother if she tried. Mercifully it seemed they were done walking for today and the girl immediately moved towards the nearest side of the wall to flop gracelessly onto her haunches, using the strange unknowable structure to shield herself from the wind. That was another thing! It was so cold up here! Why had her uncle brought them here? "Uncle 'nigma what's the point of all this walking?" she asked, turning her head to pout at her uncle as Farai moved beside her. The leopard had been mostly quiet through the journey, sometimes choosing to linger further and further away from the group. But whenever her uncle had gone off to hunt for them the cub would reel back in, watching silently, as if afraid if she took her eyes of them the pups would disappear. Now though the cat was curling her warm body around the girl, she seemed more than content to lay in the snow. There was something else tugging at her mind too. The biggest of her brothers was gone, she hadn't seen him in at least a season and now that the girl was certain she'd never find her way back she was certain her brother was also lost forever... she hadn't ever felt particularly close to her brothers but the idea of never seeing him again filled her with a sort of uncomfortable feeling she didn't have the words for yet.
