A Little Bit of Blue

Ulric was more than happy to get moving as soon as Eska started walking away from the circle of stones. He kept close to her side for both of their benefit, finding comfort in knowing she was there with him and hopefully reassuring her as well as they moved away from the unsettling place. Their date night had taken an unfortunate turn, but he would rather get away from this fox that seemed more like a spirit than an actual vulpine. He had seen his lost family in dreams once upon a time and it only ever brought bad omens and this gave him the same sort of feeling.

As they walked away a frown tugged at his lips as the fox continued to appear, its yips following them as they started making their way back home. A small part of him wondered if perhaps they should divert their path to keep from leading the thing home, but just as that thought crossed his mind it seemed to disappear. He noticed Eska look back and he followed her gaze, seeing the blue-hued fireflies drifting off on the breeze. His ears flicked uneasily and he sighed, putting his focus back on the path ahead of them. Even if whatever it was didn't mean any harm it still didn't sit well with him and he was eager to get back home after an encounter like that.
