so goodbye yellow brick road [ASHEN MEETING]

"Speech", "Lilith"

Recluse groaned, ears twitching blearily as she blinked against the light coming in through her den. Lilith was raised up, her tongue flicking against Recluse's nose. Okay so she'd probably slept through something. Recluse rolled onto her back, wiggling her spine against the ground and stretching it out. Then she slowly rose to her paws, stretching each of her limbs and shaking the sleep out of them. Lilith wrapped herself around Recluse's right wrist. The pair left the den, Recluse blinking against the sun and narrowing her eyes.

"It was a howl, I don't know what for. Sounded feminine, not sure who it was." Lilith's low, whisper-soft voice reached Recluse's ears as the snake coiled her way up to Recluse's shoulder's her ebony head hovering near the girl's left ear.

"Probably my aunt." Recluse said. She took off at a trot, she was relying more on her nose than anything else as the stone territory wasn't exactly helpful to her poor day sight. The smells of several of her family congregating were hard to miss. Recluse also couldn't miss the gathering visually, even with so much of the world being blurry for her right now. She could make out the scent of her father further up and the girl suppressed a growl. She settled herself among the group, closer to her aunt but clearly apart from her father, she closed her eyes to give them a bit of a rest from the pain of the light, her ear perked though to make it clear she was listening for whatever it was her aunt would say.
