[PQ] Into the Woods Without Delay

YOU SAID THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOON IT ROSE TOO SOON AND WE'RE DOING WHAT WE SHOULD The stag is known and introduced, and Amalia relaxes visibly, her shoulders smoothing out of their tense knots. Her head falls in acknowledgement of the introduction, a curious eye turned to regard the stag. Another Outlander... More and more she has found herself the only native in a sea of strangers, a ship lost on foreign islands. They are not cruel, not unwelcome, per se, but in the dark nights when she could not sleep and would allow her mind to blaspheme, reflecting on the outside and what discovering it might be like, well... These had not been the companions she'd expected. Amalia shrugs as Jigano professes misunderstanding, her dark gaze glinting to Ianto. It makes sense to her, in a way- or at least, is no more unusual or incomprehensible than anything else. They are outsiders. The forest is wary. She listens intently, a low grumble of discontent agreement pulling from her lungs as he cautions them not to tell. It is strange, but not impossible, a worthwhile cost to pay. Huffing once more in invitation to Kiada, and with a similar nudge offered to Jigano, the leopard rises and sets out in pursuit, following in Ianto's track, a wary nose and notched ear keeping track of any approaching danger. a m a l i a You said it's life that moves too much We're losing touch But I'm not losing you
