More To Life Than Being Home

Not one to teach? Why the fuck was he trying to teach then? Xina scrunched her nose as he led her away. She padded along anyway as he went on about what navigation was. She liked that he taught her while they walked, and she wasn't expected to sit still. She would jump off logs and rocks covered in lichen as he led her toward the sound of running water. She slunk through the gathering bushes, avoiding many of the prodding branches by ducking underneath them.

She wanted to be an expert Navigator! She wanted to sneak into places where people didn't expect her to be and take what she wanted!

"Climb!" She responded and clambered on ahead of him, then she found herself quickly sliding back down to where she started. What the fuck?
