Gaze sharp, posture stiff. Though the winter had melted away, Nirvana could still feel the lingering stiffness in her muscles and bones. Spring was damp, incredibly so. It seemed to make a home in her lungs, in her bones, in her joints. The joints. Nirvana wouldn't give it much mind. She'd work hard to not give it much mind, at least. Push it from her head. She had to push it from her head. She pressed on. There was no way that the lingering effects of the crystals would derail her. No.
But it was enough for her to have reclused herself, even though she'd intended to stay within Elysium. They'd always welcome her back. They'd always take her back. They were her family. She just needed space for now.
Exploring. She was still exploring, learning every last bit this land had to offer. Boreas, in all of its alleged glory. Nirvana would learn every inch of it. Carefully, she stalked her way through the mines. She wasn't alone here, but was she ever? Was she ever truly alone? Gaze sharp as she paced the shafts, exploring. Learning. Her eyes had long since adjusted to the low light, spending her afternoon among the tunnel systems. It was as she neared the entrance, ready to leave, that she heard the voice. Too far off to make out at first, and a bark as she came closer.
The Ah was too much, though. "Awfully noisy, aren't you?" Venomous as she melted from the shadows, making a point to look the stranger up and down. Though her explorations were nearly finished, it was clear that they'd be cut short anyway. Nirvana's eyes narrowed. There was no way she could enjoy exploring with that much noise.
"Nirvana"
