McKayla is Not Impressed

Life was going much better than anticipated lately, not that Ara had really had any complaints before. Things had been remarkably calm since settling back in to life with Novel in Lirim. The one worry she'd had was that she might have to confront whatever she and Athena had shared - it was little more than companionship, but it seemed somehow more intimate than she'd ever gotten with anyone but Novel. And yet... her friend was nowhere to be found. Not seeing her around saddened her, but she wouldn't let on to that. Dwelling on those things, things she couldn't change, wasn't at all reasonable when she had so much else to be grateful for. On this brisk afternoon Ara found herself wandering just slightly from Lirim's borders. She didn't go far these days, but the forgiving weather made her trek slightly further than she normally would. Summer was fading quickly, and Ara knew soon she would be den-bound more days than not. Her old age didn't help, either. For now she was intent upon making the most of her days, and today in particular she was searching for something unusual to bring home to Novel. That was how she ended up here, in Glowshroom Cavern, enamored by the pulsating lights from a distance and veering closer to get a better look. She was wary as she slipped into the cavern, and the sound of someone up ahead made her pause. "Hello? Anyone there?" She didn't want to be a bother, and would gladly leave if instructed, but she was curious nonetheless about the contents of this cavern and whoever might be exploring it currently. |
