@Emaleth. Set near the border? I'm not certain what the border is but she's prob close enough. if possible.
The sun is settling into the ocean for the night as Qilaq whimpers, tucked away in the back of the den. She'd returned early in the afternoon to rest in the empty den, sleeping for a few hours that has begun to drag out into the later moments of the evening. It is fitful, at best, and one sudden jerk of her legs sends her upright and panicked. She takes a few, long and hard breaths to regain some of her senses back to deescalate and retire her mind.
Slowly, she picks herself up and stretches out her body with a long yawn. Amayo nor Appeh are back yet, not having seen them since early that morning, but she knows she can't linger around in the den when her heart is beating a mile a minute. She shed the den quickly, peering up at the darkening gradient sky. Stars begin to peek through the brighter shakes while the sun makes its last drop into the waters for another day and she picks up an even trot.
At first, she doesn't know where she's going, but she lets her legs lead her to a group of large rocks upon their shore. They are low and flat enough that make it easy to rise on, finding the perfect one in the middle to rest and look out across the sky expanding above her.
she had a mind like a box of fireworks
and hands that played recklessly with matches
