The vision began to die away, as if for the time being the forest was satiated. And now that it’d quit, while still disturbed but back in the moment, Kiki noticed where the bristling vine that had wrapped around Jigano’s leg, his whole boot was gone and specks of blood dotted the skin around his ankle. Killian joined in with Sam in his concern, ”You good?” Arduinna interjected next, apologizing for the forest’s rashness. And then to him with a wink, sweet and wry as it was Killian couldn’t help but smile softly back to her. Though inwardly he was both unsettled and relieved to know that the forest was playing tricks on him; relieved that he hadn’t followed that treacherous path, and unsettled that he almost had.
Not much longer before the group was given a warning from the fae, running water babbling nearby, whispering in hushed tones of their arrival. Kiki wasn’t sure how exactly to ready himself, for what even. He’d brought a short blade, and knew how to use it, but honestly wouldn’t trust his or anyone else’s life with those skills. He was much more confident in tooth and claw, so swiftly he shifted into the long legged cat, golden and dappled black, sunbeam eyes moving from companion to companion and a very hushed rumble in his chest.
listen to the sound of the world
don’t watch it turn
