Nova Peak a mountain in my hand, my hand

Thanks for the thread love!

An irrepressible shrug passed through Falwasi's body at Bazi's response. "No," she simply responded before adding: "It's not as bad as it sounds." Whether she was saying this for Bazi's or her own sake, she was not sure. Part of her wanted to express her past — to get it off her chest — but part of her wanted to conceal it. If she put it out in the open, there was no taking it back, and it wouldn't make her feel any better. She left her brother. There was no denying that.

Falwasi looked down on the previously scaled mountain. "We should start making our way down. It'll be dark soon," she said, returning her gaze to her pregnant friend. She would continue climbing, but not with Bazi — it was too risky. Maybe another day.

Although the sky was still bright with sunlight, the lithe wolf knew it's own descent was inevitable and soon to come. And with an hour or two of disembarking ahead of them (perhaps accompanied by a hunt along the way), Bazi would be tucked in with her love while Falwasi roamed the night.
