	*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)

	[... 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)

	[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)

	[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)

	[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)

	... it looks so different in the dark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	*When you don't use your eyes, what do you see?* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 06:34 am UTC (link)
	[closes his eyes for a moment] I see what my nose tells me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-06 07:26 am UTC (link)
	[The hands move, resting lightly over his eyes, though between dark and dark there's hardly a difference. Faint in the air, just for a moment, there's the soft damp of falling dew.] *What do you see?* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 07:45 am UTC (link)
	[comes to a stop as he sniffs the air curiously] Water... like the ones you smell in the morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The hands lift. It is still dark, unmistakably so — but this is the simple dark of night, under a sky without moons or stars. No longer just hints, the landscape is alive around them; bugs chirp and buzz in the grasses, the dry desert wind rustles the fronds of hardy shrubs, and further, to the north, there's a hint of the lush scents of a forest.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 08:01 am UTC (link)
	[His ears twitch, trying to adjust to the sudden presence of sound and the new smells. The fact that he can sense them as a wolf again is elating. He looks north and takes a step forward.] Is that where we're going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-06 08:05 am UTC (link)
	*Over plains and through the wood. It waits on the other side.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 08:18 am UTC (link)
	[onwards then! To the forest!] What are you looking for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A hand takes its place back on Toboe's shoulder.] *Something left behind.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 08:40 am UTC (link)
	Before we moved? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-06 08:46 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Shall we play a game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 08:49 am UTC (link)
	[blinks] Now? Uhm... okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	*For nineteen more questions, I'll answer yes or no. Can you guess what it is?* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 09:03 am UTC (link)
	Nineteen questions... [frowns] Is it dangerous? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The forest grows closer, the touch on his back guiding him around the first of the trees.] *No.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	howltoremember 2011-02-06 11:39 am UTC (link)
	Is it big? [turning to look at the tree even if he can't see it] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sabra_la_iudex 2011-02-06 11:53 am UTC (link)
	[No scent of marking on it; either no one has this territory, or you'll have to go further for more of a sign.] *No.* (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
