she could only chuckle in response to his comment, having no witty reply or comment to deliver to him. though she didn't mean to be vain in acknowledging that it was true, the lass could merely see no fault in such logic. after a moment, she gave a silent chuckle, and then none-too-gracefully finally mustered a response. "the problem is in leading the wolves, not loving the land," she mused. ironically enough, as he began with the first word of his description, they neared the river. she stopped, flicking her tail in his direction and a bit in front of him so that he would know to halt as well. she listened to the description he gave of his territory, ears forward attentively and gaze flicking back every once in a while as she patiently waited to explain their location while also imagining the description she was being fed. a trickling stream of memories triggered recognition in her mind. "hm," she murmured, brows furrowing. "yes, but not as thoroughly as i would like. i'll have to visit someday." she paused, regarding him with a humorous expression. "that is, if your wife doesn't mind." the comment had been made with the intent of bringing laughter rather than trying to flirt with him. she hesitated, and then continued onto what she had been going to say earlier. "watch your step. in a moment we'll be walking on roots with the water under it, and we'll have to perch on those to get a drink." she stepped forward, balancing with practice grace on the thick, entangled roots that ended abruptly to give away to the water. she put a paw down onto the lowest root of the water and precariously tipped her body downward, lapping up the water to satisfy the itching dryness that relentlessly plagued her throat from how much she had talked and how little water she'd had to drink over the course of the day. she righted herself, finding an uncomfortable seat on the gnarled coils of wood. "it's inconvenient, sure, but the sight these mangroves provide when night falls is worth the trouble in getting a drink," she informed, a distinct and recognizable hint of admiration in her tone. she glanced at him. "have you ever been here at night, gerhardt? it's quite a sight." [ o o c ; ] ahh omg I accidentally forgot to paste the template stuff on a new reply so my last post was eaten. cx |

crawl. crawl more. drag your hands and knees across the destruction left in my wake to the ends of the earth. there's a green light of a shining star in my sky and there will not be an obstacle i will not overcome until i cup that star in my palms. the void in my will has been filled with purpose. so crawl. crawl more, love.
because i like it when you're on your knees.
