Re: Lilac and Gooseberries
Leah snorted as she began a slow trot toward the forest, picking up speed as she got used to having Yen on her back. While she was strong- and Yen certainly was not nearly that heavy- it was still an adjustment to run with someone on her back. Still, it was easy to get into a good pace.
Eventually they made it into the thick of the forest and she stopped, sniffing hard at the air. She felt on edge and was searching for any threat possible. A stray thought ran through her- a question about how and why they were taken from Stroma. She had only been there a day, maybe two. Why the sudden change? What the hell was happening.
After a pause, she howled- loud and searching, as if asking for any reply. She waited, eyes searching the tree-line.
