The Sentinels If you don't care for it

deirdre herself lingered within, as she had not yet been guided or permitted out yet. the only times she had been to The Otherworld were so brief and [what she perceived as] long ago that she had forgotten them. the babe was glad for her brothers additional company as she did not comprehend the premise of it. something was amiss, she sensed, but she and emaleth could only wonder at what exactly that something was, being unable to translate or interpret yet; she and her sister spoke without knowing the meaning of words (with few exceptions), when they spoke at all. as time passed by these things changed; she was beginning to understand more and more as the sands of time drifted.

she smelled the perfume of food; the babe popped her head outdoors, only to withdraw it inward as though she were a turtle upon not recognizing the wolf at the doorstep. she did not go too far, only out of sight.
