pray for rain

She was wary of the cavern, but not afraid -- it was the rain that was a bit more worrisome. Ara was okay with being away from home for a day or so, but in this kind of weather, she knew they would begin to worry about her. And the last thing she wanted was either of her parents coming to look for her. It would be too far of a journey for them, and for no reason. She could take care of herself, even though she was hardly more than ten months old. The girl would shuffle down, letting her head drape over her paws. The cavern was damp and slick, but much better than lying down in the rain outside, and so she would not complain even silently to herself. She could certainly be in worse situations. Here she was safe and alone and... She caught scent of someone unfamiliar to her, and she would stiffen involuntarily. This wasn't a good place to be caught alone, but she had no option other than to retreat further into darkness. Instead, she would simply remain sitting, watching as a ivory-furred woman approached the cavern's entrance and entered near her. "I.." She began. It would be impossible to avoid talking to her; Ara did not hate the presence of others, but much like her father, she was naturally independent and quiet-natured. "I am sorry if this place is yours. I was only seeking shelter." She didn't know if that was the case, but she would gladly retreat into the rain so as to not offend or upset this stranger. Such was her nature. |
