"A young explorer?" I murmur, smile tugging at the sides of my mouth, dark eyes softening in the presence of her earnest openness. She spoke of Kri, so I assumed she belonged to the Throat. The girl seems so young to have such focus; at her age I was a wild thing, running rampant across desert sands and trying to keep my brothers out of trouble. The memories are pleasant ones, and I relax as they flood back, mood lightening considerably.

Thoughts flow outward, away from my own mind and back to the little white mare -"And what will you do as a Sleuth, I wonder? Find out all our secrets, and use them for your own diabolical purposes?" Voice is suddenly serious, eyes narrowed and suspicious; only the twitch of my ears and the slight tilt of my eyes give away the good-natured intention behind my words.

She asked my name, and I gave it without complaint - "Rishima. And yours, little sleuth?" I shift my body, muscles rippling beneath silky hide, for once no longer sweat-soaked. The pleasant shade of the deep trees is relaxing, the chirping of birds radiant against the soft sounds of rustling leaves and moving water. Gaze is cast about the clearing, nostrils stretching to capture the aromas that permeated this sheltered place. "What sorts of adventures have you had in your explorations?" I ask, kind gaze back upon her crimson-rimmed form. I am always eager to hear stories, and from my experience, children are often eager to talk.
