Smoke Signals

The world was already proving to be considerably stranger than she originally thought it was. Since she embarked out in the world she'd seen all sorts of things - she'd met new wolves, went and explored cool new lands, but this sudden shift that was happening seemed especially strange. A little shiver wracked her as she continued on, and it wasn't only from the chilly water that she'd been up to her ankles in.

Kaija was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice anyone nearby until they spoke up. Being observant wasn't one of her strengths, that was for sure - a trait no doubt inherited from her father. "Uhhhh, don't think so!" She called out, realizing she'd gotten distracted from the set of firefly-lights she'd been following, and suddenly they were nowhere to be found - unless a few nearby were parts of the group that had dispersed? Damnit, it was too hard to keep up with them. She let out a sigh as she padded over toward Doom, trying to hide the slight bit of unease that was creeping in. All this weirdness was a whole lot spookier when she was out here on her own. Almost instantly she gravitated toward him like someone might reunite with a long-lost friend, his presence comforting despite him being a complete stranger. "I keep on seeing these stupid things but I can't catch 'em. Almost feels like they want me to follow 'em somewhere but I keep getting distracted!" Honestly that was a problem she faced quite often; she wondered if Doom could relate.
