Happy Little Clouds

Despite the presence of the predators the birds continued to sing their little hearts out. They were well hidden in the tall grasses of the thicket. She did catch sight of a thrush but in a moment it was gone. There were likely a number of other small critters about and it wouldn't surprise her if the thicket served as a shelter for deer. It would be a great place to hide fawns in the spring.

She glanced back at Rhythm who had settled down and delivered some sad news. Rhythm's niece, an alphess, had passed away. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Aerndis didn't really know what to say. She wasn't terribly familiar with the social customs around the passing of a family member. Her thoughts drifted back to the weather. All said it was warm. Cool for summer but over all a beautiful and pleasant day with just the slightest breeze. It was a shame Rhythm was having to deal with such sad news on such a beautiful day.

"Oh, I just wanted to do a bit of exploring. Get out to clear my head." Aerndis positioned one of her canine teeth in the center and carefully bit a hole into it. From there she inserted a small stick and had something like a miniature sundial. It clearly needed a bit of work but this was a start. "So, are you going to live in Abaven then or do you plan to come back to Legion some time?"
