Unseasonably Warm [Atreyu]

Valkeyrie was grateful for Atreyu’s understanding of her reaction, her words assuring her it would be a home made her cock her head to the side. There was a difference? The only home she had ever known had been a prison and so she could not imagine a home being anything different. She was glad that the topic changed although Atreyu had given her something to think on.

She nodded in response to Atreyu’s plan, her body returning to its calm and emotionless state as she stared at the foal for a few moments. She was deciding how to approach.
She would crawl through the long grass, that was for sure. She was sure that the scent of the flowers would hide her own scent, but she was not sure if it would be enough. It was still early in Spring and so the flowers were not fully in bloom just yet, but judging from the amount that were already blooming she could not wait to see the prairie in summer.

With a deep breath she crouched down, moving in between the foal and the herd in a wide circle. She crawled slowly until she was behind the foal but was still blocking the youngling from the herd. She zig-zagged behind the foal so that it ran straight.
