so he found the heart in a barren land

Hanako skirted around the battlefield, her steps light and dainty as she made a point of not even setting a single paw upon it. She didn't think anyone would jump her for looking in the wrong direction, but since she wasn't the sort who gladly partook in spars it was better to be safe than sorry. Instead, she kept on pressing north, heading in the direction of a looming forest with twisted and tangled branches, like something out of a spooky story she'd tell her children. She was a natural explorer and yet she couldn't help but slow to a walk as trepidation settled in her bones, more often than not something went awry when she wandered off on her own. Last year she'd gotten beaten up by creepy dolls and this year she'd grown crystals and lost all of her fur, her track record wasn't good to say the least. Then again, the Long Night had passed and for being this far north the weather was nice enough. Tolerable for a southerner like her.
It was then she noticed a dark figure lounging in the branches just overhead. Like he was some sort of cat...or monkey. Her head tipped to the side, the blue sheen of her inquisitive gaze shone as a smile tugged at her lips. It had been FOREVER since she'd met someone new, her social skills were aching to be put to use.
"How's the view up there?" She asked, a playful lilt in her voice.
