One Step At A Time

Chesna grew to adore her newly acquired home so far. None did not come to bother the Ashen’s new servant as of yet. Except to bring her a few items to decorate the stone area as she wished. Something that hadn’t been ever done before; and yet, she smiled shyly at the mere thought of being able to do so.

Black furs lined the ground near the back. Slightly ruffled from her having slept on them prior. She’d found a few shiny rocks amongst a pile of others to which Chesna felt would bring a bit of beauty to the nearly dark space. Near the entrance sat a few ripped pieces of white fur that looked as if it been taken from a hare. This being placed for those who wandered in to wipe their paws.

For a moment, a glimpse of her mother’s face flashed across her vision. Features wavering ever so briefly at the thought of knowing she would have been quite happy here. She hummed a tune. One sung plenty times during her pup hood. "Когда моря катятся Когда звезды сияют ясно Когда призраки воют рядом Когда мы поем русскую колыбельную Ночью, ночью." So soft were her vocals. The vibration of the words caressing stoned walls and nearly spoken over a whisper. Not wanting to be punished for even doing such a thing. It was only when she’d turned around that her breath hitched. Another stood just at the entrance. Ears pulling back with a low whimper, Chesna looked down to the ground and took position.

Body pressed down with her tail tucked tightly beneath. Head turning to expose the weakest point.
