It wasn't often that she found herself alone these days. Between spending time with Kuroki, hunting for the pack, teaching lessons, whatever have you, Celeste was busy. Her new title was welcoming and she embraced it with pride. Though it was tiring from time to time. Late one afternoon as the call of local birds began to die down, she stole herself away for a stroll. Her ivory-gloved paws carried her over dewy grass as she watched her surroundings. White barked trees, low-hanging vines, and an eerie purple glow in the distance, she knew the woods surrounding the shrine well by now. Keeping a slow pace with her head at shoulder level, Celeste hummed quietly under her breath. Eyes in a slight daze, she didn't notice someone else nearby. Had she gone this far into the shrine's territory? Old buildings began to peek through the trees, enticing her to come closer. A scent of rotting wood and strong incense muted her senses as she approached a rather dark entrance. Curiosity would surely kill her if a large predator lurked inside. From what she could tell, only wolves had been here recently. "Hello?" Celeste called out quietly as she pressed her ears forward and lifted her chin slightly. Letting her lengthened tail fall closer to the ground, she stood upon the dusty stoop. "Anyone home?" Her tone is light, curious, and gentle. Not wanting to scare animals away, she waited with slight hesitation to see if she'd receive an answer before she went inside. |
