Behind that picket fence

The one thing this late spring weather was great for was for finding herbs. She was able to track down a few of the plants that she had been keeping an eye on the last few times she had passed through here and now most of them were fully grown and flourishing. It made her smile as she nosed through the vibrant magnolia flowers and started deciding which ones she would like to take back with her. The smell of the flowers and her focus on her task both helped her forget about her stress and completely blocked out any signs of Kai approaching her. His voice surprised her and her head popped up at the greeting, pollen from the flowers she had been nosing through coating the top of her muzzle and painting it a faint yellow hue. Once she realized who it was she smiled and her tail wagged gently behind her. "Oh! Hi, Kai!" she said in reply as she turned to face him, stepping away from the marigolds for a moment. Her ears tipped forward with interest as he spoke in a language that was unknown to her, immediately making her curious about it. "Good afternoon to you too," she added with a grin. She had heard her mother speak in the Irish that she had been taught by her grandmother before, but Daelos hadn't really learned it well enough to speak in it herself. "I've been doing pretty well," she answered fairly vaguely with only a touch of forced feeling to her smile. It was hard to go into everything that she had been trying to process lately without launching into a whole lengthy backstory. So instead she simply tried to give a general response and smile so she wouldn't start unpacking all of her worries and stresses on a man that she had only met one time before. "How about you? Still enjoying your travels?" |
