C H E S K A It felt strange to return to the threshold of her new reality so soon. Those who wandered here were supposed to be emissaries for this place. They were supposed to have all the answers. Cheska was woefully without most of those answers. If she met a new face, how could she explain her weeks in this place? You see... dragons are real. Also... gods. And sometimes they flood this place for absolutely no reason. Does it happen often? I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. Perhaps she'd get lucky and be able to traverse her path without having to accost some lost soul. It wasn't as if there was another way. From the depths of the forest, this was the necessary path toward her next goal. The World's Edge didn't sound terribly welcoming, but she had no reason otherwise to believe it was less hospitable than any other place. Of course, she'd be carefully watching her tongue there. She imagined being pushed off the edge of the earth was hardly a pleasant way to go if someone found her a bit too mouthy. It would certainly not be the first time. There was familiarity to the place, but also something entirely new. It must have sprung up while she wasn't paying attention. It was as if the transformation from stranger to inhabitant had made the trees a little less imposing and the smells a little more fragrant. This time Cheska kept to the shadows, where the sun couldn't turn her dark coat to burning coals. This time she remembered to forage the fresh leaves from the branches best protected from the elements. This time when she stumbled into the path of a stranger, she managed not to stare like a fool for more than a long moment. "Afternoon," she greeted gently, small ears flopping to and fro cheerfully. By all the gods, she wasn't a savage. Not as though she was going to ignore him. "I do hate to presume, big fella, but it looks like you could maybe use some directions?" She flashed him an understanding smile. She had an intimate relationship with this kind of confusion. "Where're you headed?" OOC || *speedposting* tags || @[Gaius] |
