you can count on me
Before long, she was flipped over entirely, sprawled out on her back and staring up at the sky. Her whole body was practically crushing the flowers...but she knew they'd grow back easily. That was the beauty of life, wasn't it? She sighed quietly and leaned her head back, her gaze resting upon the slowly drifting clouds that provided shade overhead. Sometimes there were clouds in which looked like a wolf, or a butterfly or even a squirrel. She enjoyed gazing upon those. They reminded her of the months in which she lived with her mother and father...who she played with almost daily and loved with all her heart. Ah, she missed those days. She remembered the few times she visited with Aslan, from Threar, before Jupiter took Sawtooth and her mother and father left. Then she became the young loner she is now. A laugh bubbled quietly from her vocals, when suddenly, a faint aroma wafted through the fresh air. It...seemed almost familiar. But strange all the same! Arivae slowly twisted around and pushed herself to her paws, a gasp leaving her lips at the man in which she saw. "Arivae?" Was this...who she thought it was? Aslan? The girl slowly lowered her head, her gentle gaze hardening a bit. "Aslan...?" She took a few steps forward. The first time they had met, she remembered his facial markings...and those eyes. Yes, this was him. He had those same distinct markings, similar to hers. Arivae laughed quietly, a larger smile blossoming across her face. "It's you...oh my goodness. It's been so long." She said in a hushed whisper, stepping forward and resting her chin on his shoulder, as a hug-like action. |
