Jay's smile returned tenfold- her gratitude was genuine, practically oozing from every pore. An adventure! Oh, she'd be so excited to go home and tell her sister and her dad all about this. Maybe she could even find something to bring back home too, maybe an intricately colored flower that could be used for making dye, maybe a pretty shell she found on the beach.... islands had lots of things like that, right? Her tail twitched with anticipation as the two rose together. "I feel lucky too," she agreed with a nod.
There was no hesitation in her as she followed along after her new friend. Maybe she ought to not blindly trust wolves she didn't know well, but it was hard not to when Empousa was so nice, so inviting- Jay's blind trust would no doubt be her downfall someday.
Heading further down the the stretch of cliffside, Jay's ears swiveled forward, listening to the offered story intently. A waterfall? So huge? Surrounded by birds, trees, vines? Her sea-green eyes widened at the thought, trying to picture it. It didn't sound like anything she'd ever seen before, and imagining it- helped by Empousa's vivid imagery- made her all the more excited to get on with their adventure. "That sounds so lovely," she sighed, a bit wistfully. Maybe someday she'd see something so beautiful, she could only hope.
Before long they found a path down the cliffside, and began to carefully trek down. Only a couple times did she feel her paws beginning to slip, catching on unstable rocks, but she furrowed her brow and moved carefully enough that she avoided danger. One careful step after another they made their descent, Jay panting softly by the time they reached the bottom. She moved toward the beach, giving her new friend a gentle nudge along her flank. "I've never been on such a long swim," she admitted, a hint of trepidation creeping into her voice. "It's not too long, right?"
