Somewhere outside Chicago - TJ - Open

TJ loved her companions. She couldn't imagine not travelling with them, but sometimes...sometimes she needed an hour or two alone. There were times when she just needed to sit and watch the night.

It was easier for her than for most, one of the things that Marluxia did to her was changing her eyes so that the dark wasn't so much dark to her, and the glow from bio-luminescent eyes was something she didn't even notice any more, not when she was out in the Illinois countryside, watching the glimmer of stars far above herself and listening to the dull roar of the city an hour or so's ride behind her. Sure it was dangerous to be out like that, alone, anywhere other than with a group of people, but...

It was beautiful, too. She could take the coat off, sometimes even her clothing, and simply sit with nothing between her and the weather but her fur. She could re-braid her hair, and not worry so much about keeping her sister and her ... friend ... entertained. She was a born entertainer, she loved her life, but sometimes it was too much.

She had to think, and she thought best alone and in the quiet. Sure, she could try to stay up late and think, but then she got into the sleep deficit of an Olia trying to under-sleep a Katzu and that just didn't work worth a damn. So taking a ride and thinking alone, it worked. She didn't do it more than once a month or so, not enough to make her travelling companions worry, just...when she needed it.

So that's where she was. Sitting on a hillside, wearing nothing but braids and fur, and thinking at the universe.
