Lena
let me wander
with the ones

Lena had taken her time in going anywhere beyond Stormbreak. It had been a while since she’d assisted in rescuing Falke; otherwise she kept to those stone walls she knew so well. But adventure, the need for exploration, the rampant curiosity (even with just the sky ports themselves), lent and bent her towards stepping out of those age-old comfort zones, and into worlds she’d never witnessed before.
Books and outlines didn’t do King’s End justice – even in the outcropping of snow. From her vantage point, barely noticeable in her protective ivory, there were still the beautiful stone benches, the flowers intermingling underneath layers of fresh powder – and the strange, discernible sounds of jingling.
Her ears swiveled and moved. She stilled for half a beat, wondering if she’d made an error. She’d let only a few know about her journey here – intending to catch some glimpses of animals in their natural habitats, to further help those in the Celestine’s enclosures, but hadn’t thought what would happen if she got into trouble.
Then the Caretaker shrugged and carried on – her sienna eyes suddenly noticing the other creature in her presence. With wild abandon, an excitement took hold, and she forgot about the ringing of bells for the luxere up ahead. Hello! She called; believing it to be an actual creature of the natural flora and fauna, and not a fellow Attuned at all – fox endeavors building and bounding in their energetic haste.
