Sneak Away

Walk | Talk | Think She knew her mother was doing everything in her power to ensure the safety of her children. She knew it was weighing on the grey woman heavily, that it often caused her trouble sleeping. She knew that it often gripped her in moments where all she could do was cry and mourn her losses, the complicated mess it had left her n, and made her hide her despair from her children. But Vaishya was no dummy. She could see the falseness behind the smiles, the hollowness within her mother's purple and gold eyes. The young girl had no idea how to make it go away, but she tried to be less burdensome on her mother. Normally it involved staying put, wherever it was Ashtoreth had left them, and being still while she waited for her return. But not every day could be like that. Waiting made her restless, sitting idle made her long for something to do. And every now and then, with her timing just right, she would sneak away and use the time allotted to her however she saw fit. As long as she returned before her mother did, there were no problems. The weather might have only begun changing here in the west, but already it was warm. It was why her path had been directed here rather than out into the open, taking shelter beneath the trees and the coolness their shade offered. The petite young girl traveled quietly beneath them, her blue and gold eyes for once not wide and alert but rather half-lidded and just skimming the ground as she tread upon it. Her body, very nearly that of a yearling now with hints of puppy roundness lingering, was relaxed and at ease, seemingly comfortable in her skin and where she was. The woods appeared empty, safe, and considering her mother would have been upset if she allowed herself to wander someplace dangerous Vaishya figured she would be fine. Picking up the hint of water on the air, she let her lazy course shift and drift further into the new territory, content for the moment with her wanderings. |
