There's a song in your lung and a dream in your eye.
The moment the girl acquiesces, Joscelin wastes no time in bringing her back to the Jungle. She remains close by Celeana’s side, in turns supportive and encouraging even as her metallic gaze scans their surroundings. Before long, they have reached the Jungles borders, passing the wall of trees into the dim interior. They are surrounded by thick, twisting trunks and hanging vines. Large, flat leaves waver beneath the constant noise and thick humidity. Joscelin picks a path through the dense foliage, her years in the kingdom allowing her the familiarity with which to find an easier path. For one unused to the kingdom, it would be all too easy to become lost amidst the maze of roots and plants.
As they near the center of the kingdom, Joscelin comes to a halt next to a small, stream that cuts its way through to the heart of the jungle. She offers Celeana a small smile, nodding her head at the cool, clear water.
”You should drink. You’ll find it’s best to keep well hydrated in the jungle.”
Having advised the child as best she could, she dips her own head to take a long, cooling sip. She had never been one to ignore her own advice. Thirst satiated, she raises her head, delicately lined and interspersed by dark cracks, to glance around her with a contented gaze. Her vigilance relaxes slightly as she settles in next to Celeana. Only a desperate fool would brave the confines of this kingdom, and even if they made it this far in, the shrieks of the animals would warn them long before they ever came within sight.
With that thought, she turns to Celeana, her golden gaze quietly reassuring.
”You’re quite safe here, I promise.”

@[Celeana] I'm sorry for the wait. I wanted to get this up so she can officially be here, but if you want to fast-forward time a little bit, feel free
