Aglow

It'd been awhile since she'd really felt this free, this full of life. Kaija liked that about this raider woman - she seemed pretty willing to not hang on to bullshit and just have a good time. A quality that seemed rare in others, one Kaija very much appreciated. Her laugh rang out loud and clear as her friend shrieked at the sudden worm attack, the mirth in her tones plain as the glow that came from these weird little worms.

The tugged fur earned a playful growl. For a moment Kaija couldn't help but feel as though she was teleported. Ophie's familiar face flashed in her mind's eye. She'd been so happy then - she hadn't had all this cynicism that she held onto these days. The thought disappeared as soon as it arrived, refocusing on the present. She made to snap again at Wenna's tail as she leapt forward, though she missed and nearly face planted, spinning around fast on the slick smooth cavern floor.

Regaining her balance, she moved forward and closer to Wenna. "No? Didn't think I was really your type," she half-jested. She was being partly serious though, hoping she was masking some of those pesky insecurities that suddenly were creeping up by sounding more presumptuous than most might. Wasn't like she'd had a whole lot of experience in that department, as much as she liked to pretend otherwise. Really she was just used to being on her own; her fierce independence wasn't exactly always the best thing.
