The long way around

*Audra* · 06-28-2023, 10:52 AM

Audra could not deny that it was obvious what Gloom was doing. Picking at little things, hesitating, stalling, peering at every object they passed by. Though it was winter in Auster where a blustery cold threatened snow every day, it was blazing hot smack dab in the middle of summer for Boreas. Which meant not much was dangerous as far as the weather went. Sure, they had their occasional storm and a wild hurricane here and there, but what she saw as they crossed the Bifrost, it appeared the Boreas summer had been normal at best.

She wouldn’t complain though. Every time Gloom stopped, Audra stopped. Though she knew Gloom had made a full recovery and could have walked herself back to Ashen lands, Audra had insisted she go with. For safety and potentially other personal reasons, but safety always came first! What if she fell again? Or got bit again? Or came across a predator? They were both small, but with Mack, the bobcat, and Terry, the raccoon, following behind them, they could surely fight off whatever came their way.

“Are you ex-excited to see y-your family?” Audra questions as she walks alongside Gloom. She is familiar with most of Boreas lands, but is not against taking the long way around. Artorias’ second litter was doing wonderful, all healthy and beautiful, plus she had been given permission to take as long as she needed to help Gloom get back to Ashen. It was important, not only to Audra, but to Artorias and the Hallows that their guest arrive safely. So taking the long way around didn’t seem like such a bad idea. Stay off the beaten path, away from danger so to speak and maybe… spend some more time with Gloom. Didn’t sound so bad, did it?
