know your enemy

She really had almost just stayed where she was there in the foliage by the pale white trees. Ao hadn’t been too many places but she hadn’t seen a forest like this one before. Part of her was regretful she wouldn’t be able to get a better look. The boy was in her way, however much admittance to the fact she much preferred him over any real authority. The air was clear and crisp throughout, she knew there had to be water nearby with the slight humidity in the scent of the breeze. Maybe one day she would sneak a peek. For now she was content making assessment from afar, and she found her view even better as she revealed her glittering frame to he white marked scarlet boy.

She was sure the ivory forests were full of life, however peaceful the environment was. There were sounds of birds within, and if she could look harder she was sure she would find a plethora of forest dwelling animals. Maybe she would never have a real census, but she could confidently say they had good hunting on their lands.

What she was finding even more interesting was the way the boy reacted to her. She was far more used to her siblings, she was just everyday to them. This Ashen yearling obviously hadn’t seen any one like her. Ao found herself liking that fact as he stuttered back at her. She saw a glimpse of awe, and the illusion was broken. He tried to puff himself back up but Aoede found it cute. "Oh yeah? I don’t know much about Ashen, you really that tough?” She asked with a tilt of her moon touched features.
