stay close to me while the sky is falling
The sudden shift in agitation does not go unnoticed; her eyes glance back to the young female and with some hesitance, she steps back. Her shoulders roll as the tension begins to build within her muscles, made wary by the aggressive stance taken by her.
The warm breeze that carries through the plain caresses her damp skin, and it would be soothing if not for the rattling pounding of her own heart within her chest. Deep within, hidden away within her womb, a life grows and shifts within her, and for a long moment she contemplates the heavy question given to her. Why are you here?
"Admittedly, I was hoping to spread my wings - the velocity of the wind is less than it has been in previous days, and so I thought I might .." Her voices lowers as her words taper off, a faint smile tugging at her whiskered lips as she dips her head slightly towards her.
"I did not mean to startle you, Xiomara - I apologize. I come from a land with dense trees, a flowing stream and many thickets and rocks. It is a quiet one, run by a fair King and his Queen. It was a sanctuary for me," She pauses, her mind drifting off to a place and a time she did not often like to think of. "a refuge in a difficult time in my life. It is a wonderful place to live, should you desire somewhere to go. If not, there are many lands in every direction, rich with life and with opportunity. Welcome to Beqanna."
