The Thought that Counts

"Whatever you may feel," Talyssa continued, determination tingeing her voice, "it is your intuition speaking to you. It's a part of who we are—it guides us. But it should never control us." She prowled forward, her tail swishing high above the grass like a battle standard. Turning to face them again, she sat back on her haunches, one paw covering the other in an oddly regal pose considering their surroundings. "Intuition is a tool, not a master. It can lead you to water, but it can't make you drink it," she concluded, her gold eyes scanning each face once again. "And that is your lesson for today."
