Blackfeather Woods i blew a man away

@Shisu

astara had left the company of her mother and averna, preferring the quieter climes of the birch-studded copse outside of their rendezvous. in her mouth she carried a toad; it was still alive, and frowning, struggled against the soft mouth which carried it. astara held it closely between her tongue and tooth, careful not to puncture its body, yet not so gentle that its transport was pain free.

and in return, her mouth frothed furiously - a numbness crept from tongue to her throat, and her eyes watered. yet still, the girl refused to let go of her toy, and wandered as a drunkard might between dark boughs, aimless and unseeing.
