Re: Uke Mochi/Apollo, 10 pm, near the pool doors
Uke Mochi rolled her eyes at Apollo but gave the cat a smile. "Thank you!" she called as Alice, sweet Alice, tucked into the back of the goddesses mind registered recognition for the large cat. Still, Uke Mochi did not pause in her pursuit to get herself and Alice to safety.
I told you I would keep you safe, she thought, hoping that Alice would hear the message as she followed Apollo toward the small opening within the ice. Someone else had already gotten through but the opening wasn't too wide, just enough for Apollo and Uke Mochi to each pass.
