Emberwood goodbye, sweet prince

@Aaron :D

the green-eyed madeline had guided her young companion to the loveliest of woods -- claudia was quite taken with it. small tail uplifted, the girl ranged a bit, though she did not move far from madeline. "come, ma petit," the woman called presently, sunlight beaming down upon the varied hues of crimson and scarlet that comprised her lovely coat. and so claudia wandered back, smiling sweetly up into madeline's charmed face. she had chosen wisely, this subservient and yet protective maiden, who had been at her side since the beginning of it all.

and yet claudia did not call her maman; madeline was the name she had granted her guardian, and so it would always be, regardless of the other's maternal love toward her. the pair moved toward the stream, claudia frisking at the woman's heels.
