	[. . . stops.] No others here have played for the joy of playing. In that, you have been the only one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eheh. Then I have to play with you before I go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is something I want. If I show you the way, will you get it for me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[blinks. considers this] [then nods] Mm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Come. [Walks to the door, tail wagging.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bounds to the door! And back. And back to the door.] Fleet of foot and supple in shape . . . if not you, then who? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think I'm very fast, like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The torches flicker again as the shadow darts through the door.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah! Wait! [follows it out] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-04 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	[The torches are dim, but there's a flicker, here and there, of something moving east.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-04 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Shadow! [not good at running yet-- ah. Pauses a moment. The materia in his bracer glows and suddenly he's moving much faster as he chases after the flickering] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 12:53 am UTC (link)
	[The flick of an ear, the flash of a tail. The lights grow fewer and dimmer, until they're right at the edge of the lighted area, and the last flicker of shadow jumps into the dark.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 12:56 am UTC (link)
	[eep. stops at the edge of the darkness, panting] Shadow? [Looks around. Then slowly, very slowly, Poppy steps into the dark] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 01:13 am UTC (link)
	[There's a lurch underfoot as, with that step, all the lights behind him go out, too. It is dark it is dark it is very dark, curfew dark, dark that allows for not even the idea of light. The ground under his paws seems less firm than it should be, and no matter which way his ears point, sounds that should be there seem muffled, like all is wrapped in cloth.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Ah! [He stumbles then looks around uneasily. Ears flicking every which way to try to detect any sort of sound] Shadow, where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 01:50 am UTC (link)
	[Small hands bury themselves in your ruff, seeking out places to ruffle and scratch. For the first time, there's a hint of laughter in Shadow's young voice.] *Come, come! As short as it may seem, the journey's just begun!* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 06:15 am UTC (link)
	[He giggles and leans into the ruffling, nervous but also happy that Shadow hasn't abandoned him] Which way should we go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 06:35 am UTC (link)
	*Past the woods and through the plains, over hills and down the caves.* [The hands nudge, urging him forward. Where they direct, the ground seems more sure, the air less flooded by the dark. A path, winding through the night.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 07:33 am UTC (link)
	[Poppy frowns and moves forward reluctantly] That sounds really far... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 08:13 am UTC (link)
	*No further than you have been before.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	[... nods] Okay [His ears are still flicking uneasily in the dark but he's moving forward with less resistance, letting Shadow guide him] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Another nudging push forward, and another shift — the soft resistance of fresh earth, the faint swish of long grasses. The air is fresh, the scents on it ever so barely familiar. Desert air, drifting on the wind to the plains between sand and wood.] *Trust the path, and your feet will not fumble, your body not tumble.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-05 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	[Sniffs the air, trying to put all the scents to memory] Mm. [He keeps moving and eventually breaks into a run, trusting Shadow as his guide and allowing the vague sense of familiarity to set him at ease] What is this place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-05 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Those hands stay resting in the fur of his shoulders, nudging now and then to the left, or the right.] *This is the South Block!* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
