Is it Truly More Courageous to Overcome?

Absinth has indeed not gone far at all. She had endeavored to find a place where she could wash away the blood from her body, taking a bath in the frigid waters she found some minutes away. It had been exhilarating. The bear was a mighty creature, felled by her own jaws. Her heart beat felt almost pleasurable within her rib cage. She hadn’t even taken a moment to pause and think about the fact that Sephiran had been apparently pleased with her performance before a call rang out back in the direction she had come from. Absinth was curious. Again? She gathered herself and headed off towards the beckoning of her warden. She didn’t think he would take her words about calling her for company seriously anytime soon, so why?

“Aresenn.” She announced her arrival with an enthusiastic purr of his name. Her body still on a high from the fight, muscles trembling with tension still not released. Of course no one could say there was anything fearful about her- she practically radiated vigor. But why had he called her here? She glanced at the hide near him but did not make an assumption just yet. She wanted him to speak.
