Shirken was unallowed to go anywhere she would be forced to swim to get there. Not that she had any desire to swim right now with the cold of winter clinging to the lands. The tiny princess was infinitely curious though, and her dual toned eyes peered out over the water as she sat on the beach. Kiyohime had her sights set on the island across the channel. It wasn’t so far off, and she contemplated the bridge before her. She wouldn’t have to swim if she went across the floating bridge.

The tiny girl was only just starting to develop her talents. With the help of her uncle Plague at least her mind was more open to exploring outside the realm of what her sibling’s interests were. For once she wasn’t trailing one of them, and found the confidence to go out on her own. Well, sort of. Her mother’s squirrel companion had his eye on her from the forest behind her. She could be confident in her safety on the island, but maybe not the next one.

Ike squinted her eyes slightly as she caught movement way over there. Tiny deer were walking along the beach. Her eyes widened in surprise, she’d only seen a couple of deer and they were much bigger than these! Shuriken always thought herself too small to be a real hunter, that and spilling blood wasn’t very lady like. Still, there was an odd eagerness inside of her that urged her to hunt the beasts across the water.
