Northstar Vale i am speechless

The woman's question was an obvious one, but not something Dawa had an interest in answering. Her fits were still an oddity to her as well; she had no idea what could cause such pain to shoot through her nerves upon a simple touch. Her uneven silence brought with it a moment of clarity - where Anemone seemed to hear something else, something beneath the snow. Dawa could feel her shifting upon the snow; the soft shifting of snow and the crunch accompanied by it, along with a change in the way she breathed. Anemone listened, and so Dawa attempted to listen as well. Her body naturally shifted so that it mirrored her tutor, regardless of Dawa's ability to see that.

There was a scurrying sound within the earth (or at the very least, under the snow), but it wasn't as close as Dawa would have liked. She couldn't possibly catch the target on her own. The broken girl's ears fell back against her head for a couple of moments. An instinctual response that followed with the abrupt raise and pivot of her ears to cup at the noise again. Hungry her mind hissed at her; but she said nothing, only waited.
