Too young to take the easy path

Living in a new place was... odd. Seiran was still trying to adjust to seeing the cathedral and creek every day and all the vegetation that came with it. The canyon had never been so lush, even in the slightly greener time before the flood. She missed the smell of the sandstone walls after a light drizzle, the sounds of prey animals scaling their way up and down the loose rocks with expert movements, and most of all her comfortable den with her mother and brother always reliably present. Today though she'd decided that rather than getting lost in her own woes she would go try to be productive for once. Razi wouldn't like to see her kids sitting around being useless when their family took them in, and while there was a nagging concern about the fate of her mother, Seiran chose to act as though she might return and not disappoint her should that be the case.

Clutched in her jaws as she entered the cathedral was a small bundle of plants she meant to study. At the moment only a few herbs made the list of what she was familiar with, so she'd decided to take some of them and practice drying them out. Well, after she found someone to elaborate on how exactly that was actually done. Wandering through the shadowy territory, Seiran was remaining ever hopeful that she'd bump into someone when the sound of little paws racing around nearby caught her interest. Slipping through the brush, Seiran found herself staring at a girl a bit younger than herself who was running at top speed back and forth.

A brow raised, she couldn't help but creep a few paces closer, leaning against an old stump so she could comfortably watch the girl who seemed to be struggling to multitask. Running and turning at the same time wasn't something Seiran ever really decided to practice, but she was fairly certain she could accomplish it with more grace than this younger relative. After watching another failed pass, Seiran winced and called out, "You need to shift your weight more, or you're never going to make that."
