A moment to discover

She didn't know how close she had been to to missing her chance at seeing her friend. She didn't know what she would have done if he hadn't turned up, perhaps wondered aimlessly for a while, perhaps worried for him. Her sweet nature held a certain view of the world, and even when events forced thst into question she was still herself, and that was someone who would never have dreamed for a moment that Arcus might have ignored her call. When she heard the pad of his paws through the new grass and caught a scent of him on the wind she would start to dance on the spot, excited to see him again. She still remembered the perfect moment of sharing the storm with him, of the wonder and of his companionship, how her white knight had sheltered her from the rain and drawn her into his warmth. Her head would lift up and her would eagerly search for him when he came into view. There was always a reservation about him, but this was different, he seemed directed and distant from her, his beuitful feather limp behind his ear.

He would look up at her only after he had stopped, speaking her name softly and she tilted her head, taking him in as he told her it was not a good time. "Oh..." She said softly, chewing her lips. Clearly there was something wrong but she couldn't fathom what. Without an insight, how could she fix it for him? But in that moment she would see a trace of the Arcus she knew he was, life and wisdom and all things wonderful as he asked her what was up, shaking off some of his troubles just for her, proving once again how he was her white knight. "I just. .. needed to get away from some things for a while. I thought we could go exploring, find some herbs or maybe some secret places people don't know of yet" she said, perking up a little as well as she spoke and warmed to the subject.
