Whos this now?

Okay, so she'd be lying if she said she wasn't a little nervous to have the leopard walking right alongside her. But Bast was friendly, and Lala was soon at ease. The journey wasn't too far, and as they moved west from the willow grove, the trees thinned and the land flattened out to a wide stretch of grass and underbrush. She was surprised at the sudden sense of familiarity, though she wasn't sure if it was a good feeling. Her own beginnings had been in a grassland, her family preying on elk, mainly, and bison. What a feeling it had been, running in the open. She felt another, light pang, then shook it off with ease as they moved across the border and into the packlands--her pack, now.

These lands had their own quirks to them though, as she would soon come to learn. She listened quietly as Sirius showed her each part of the territory, ears flicking as she registered every new detail. She wanted to pepper him with questions, but she also wanted to run off on her own--really get into every nook and cranny of the place. And it would seem there would be plenty of time for both. "Right, okay. I'll see you in two days then!" Two days, Sirius had given her, before her training began.
