Come out for a spell

'That's exciting!' Ophie said, and though she sounded excited she also sounded a little uncertain. She hadn't made a bad choice, right? At the end of the day she wasn't sure it mattered. Surely she could end up back at Valhalla with her tail between her legs, begging to be let back in, if things really went wrong. Unfortunately Kaija was too proud to admit when she made a mistake most of the time, but at least she had somewhere to fall back on, even if it was begrudgingly as hell. She wasn't alone, she'd never be completely without someone to help her if she really needed it. She had to believe in that, at the very least.

She wouldn't dwell long on anything but their impending adventure. "I dunno. I saw some cool trees on my way here - a big forest with branches that reach toward the ground like hundreds of creepy arms!" That wasn't quite what willows looked like but Kaija was happy to embellish her story a little to pique Ophie's interest some, not that she was terribly worried she wouldn't want to join her. But there was always the worry she might deny her - though she rarely thought about how others viewed her, Ophie was her best friend and being rejected would hurt more than she wanted to admit. "Let's go!" With that she sprinted off toward the willow forest, sure Ophie would follow her.
