Out For A Stroll [Caelia]

She trotted into the plains with a sigh, eyes scanning the land ahead. Spring had broken Winter’s grip, and although the ground was still mostly brown from last year’s grasses, she could see the brilliant green shoots sprouting.

Instead, she decided to call for Caelia. She ducked into the Adravendi Seat and paused long enough to spend time with her immediate family, before she gathered the hide bags the primates had made and tossed two sets of saddlebags over her back. They were open to the whole pack, and the oily fats collected and rendered helped keep the leather from drying and cracking.

She stepped back out into the wooded hillock and made her way to the meeting Stone, lifting her head and calling for the girl before sitting, bags on the boulder beside her, and waiting for her to arrive.
