Sunset Skies [AW]

The atmosphere had slightly changed, only just, when Silent had revealed her surname. The older male showed interest, but the silence that had attempted to try and take over had been shooed away by his companions. In no time flat, another animal appeared, carrying tools that were foreign to the young girl. She watched with interest lighting her eyes as the monkey began to work, creating a fire from mere sticks and flint. The combined scents of the newly made fire and the dried meat hitting the air caused Silent's stomach to grumble. When was the last time she had a meal? It was probably the night before, but she could not distinctly remember at that moment.

When the older male offered her some food and a good storytelling atmosphere to boot, Silent was drawn in. She took a few more steps towards him, silent pads causing her to be pulled towards Cairo's personal orbit. Silent's green eyes rose to meet the man's warm face and she shyly smiled back. "Do they really?" she asked in awe, still surprised by the possibility that she was talking to a long lost cousin. Her smaller, black frame rested upon young haunches and she waited with polite eagerness for Cairo to offer a piece of what he had produced from one of the numerous pockets. She had never seen such a contraption before. "What do you call that?" she nodded towards his satchel. "I have never seen one before."
