body and mind

Winter was just around the corner, though fortunately, the mild autumn they'd been experiencing was a sign of good things to come. The previous winter had hardly been an easy one and the herd had suffered tremendously, though she knew their strength would allow them to persevere through the toughest of times... she just hoped this future season would be ane easier one for them as they recouped their numbers and regained their strength. Better times would surely come, though it was just a matter of wading through all the trials that came between.

Kiela heaved a sigh as she continued on her way, noting a strange structure up ahead. She'd seen it from a distance but had never bothered to properly explore it, though today seemed as good a time as any. She had a decent enough grasp on where her self-appointed herd was headed and she knew she wouldn't lose track of them even if she took a detour. The weather today was mild enough anyway to allow for it. Her paws trampled sparse vegetation as she closed the distance between herself and the ship, slowing down tremendously when it drew closer. She'd never seen such a thing up close and she studied it carefully before deciding to go any closer, facing it like one might a strange predator - with equal parts awe and wariness.
