Make him feel important

She was so mad. Rota and Audr refused to let her see her mother or father. Why?! Why were they holed up away from everyone with no explanation? Frustrated, furious, angry, sad, upset, missing her parents more than she could explain, Lumine decided not to sit and pout. No, instead she would leave. Go as far as she could go before her legs gave out.

Unfortunately for Lumine, she doesn’t make it very far. With tears in her eyes and a sniffle in her nose, she breaks through the reeds blindly. Her paws splash into the shallows and she’s quickly back pedaling onto the shore. The lake has caught her by surprise and she stands there, near ankle deep in the muck with her eyes wide and watery.

Through her blurry vision, she notices just how beautiful the place is. The sun hasn’t quite set yet, casting an array of sherbet hues over the glassy surface of water. Disturbed by the rippling of fish that breech, she soon forgets about her woes. Fireflies dance in and out of the reeds, around her and occasionally landing on her for a rest.

Where had this lake been? She hadn’t noticed it before, but when she glances backward, an eastern wind brings a familiar pack scent to her. Elysium. “Shoot, I did it again,” Lumine groans, sinking into a sitting position where she hangs her head and lets out a sigh. Well, if she was going to get caught, she might as well let it happen.
