we're off to see the wizard

A soft sigh, like a flower brushing against someone's leg. Her motions stilled slowly, and she tried to puzzle out the sound and what it meant. Was someone here? Slowly her tiara would rise from it's place so close to the glowing water, and the lass would cast her gaze this way and that. Out of the grass had emerged a stranger, a giant of a boy with alabaster stains just like her. She smiled softly in delight. She wasn't the only one! He sure was big, almost as big as mama Des, which was pretty big by her standards. He posed a simple query, gentle as it crossed the distance between them. She beamed up at him, her tail wagging gaily. "Yeah! They're purdy." She announced in reply, not the least bit bothered by how he might react to her unknown trespasses. One hesitant paw after another, she tip toed across the span between them so she stood before him, mismatched optics gleaming.

The boy had one whole leg that was white, where she only had pale toes. His eyes were red, like her one eye was. Like mommy Vi's fur. " 'M Absinthe." She told him with a short wag of her lavender tail. "Who're you?" She quickly asked, as common courtesy had been made known to her a long while back, while the fact that others might not be keen to share their names had not. The boy was bigger than her, but she was a monster hunter, and she wasn't gonna let some strange boy beat her up any day. She felt assured by this notion, as always.
