I'll leave my love hidden in the sun
The lack of helpful suggestions was honestly welcome. Seren wasn't sure how much more she could take in terms of decision making before her head exploded. The simple return onto the Tundra with its eye-stabbing brightness and frigid winds was already jarring enough.
At least she did not have to do much more than trail after Hotaru. The woman's shift was beautiful, and any other day the starchild would have spent a long time cooing and ah'ing over the large feline - so many cats in her life, was this a sign? - but all she could muster today was a wan smile, and gloved hands stroking the supple line of Hotaru's back.
"Alright. Lead the way; I will keep up."
Drawing deep breaths of the cold air, Seren did her best to focus. To ground herself in the moment. One step, then another. Plunge through the snow, watch the horizon. The sky was very blue here. It must be beautiful at night, when all the stars were lit... maybe she could get Sah to show her. Later, later, afterwards.
If there were signs of animals in the area, Seren couldn't see any. Nor had Umbra; he came flying back and took to hovering over her, painting dark blue circles over her head, disgruntled and hungry. Compared to the lush and sprawling wildlife around Torchline and Stormbreak, this tundra seemed a barren desert. Beautiful, and deadly.
