The Light within the Shadow, makes pretty things

are you ok with bringing this up to date maybe?

While mornings were not her forte, she found herself stirring just before dawn anyway, and no amount of effort seemed to put her back to sleep -- even though she could definitely say "well-rested" was not going to be one of her adjectives for the day. So, reluctantly, she uncurled from her tangle of roots and stone and surfaced from the thicket that hid it. After a few stretches and yawns, she was off into the chilly morning.

Her first moments were spent in a haze. She traveled along without a particular goal, too foggy with sleep still to truly formulate much else, and subdued by the beautiful sunrise's display of colors, she wasn't in a hurry to change this. Yet, somehow, her pawsteps brought her towards Jace.

She remembered, of course, their last meeting. But, she had not traveled much since.. although thought about it. Her trips out were still brief -- but useful, she'd learned a few things roving into the Rising Sun valley. A greater one loomed, though, and she had decided she'd head towards the sea, then loop northward before turning back for home. This was of course, assuming nothing diverted her path. The last time an outrider had gone that way for her had been in the midst of wintertime, so maybe it was time for an update anyway.

She approached quietly, and nosed against his side.
