Dragoncrest Cliffs It's over when it's over

sorry for the big wait!! :( <3

she laughs as they run, giving up on the premise of winning fairly quickly (she's busy, after all, trying to return tit-for-tat on artaax's nips). when they reach the sand the gona whoops and throws herself onto her side, stretching out and enjoying the well-earned ache in her limbs, the rush of adrenaline. it's a moment of respite in this never-ending ocean of worry and fear and blix latches onto it gladly, rolling onto her side to watch as her brother catches sight of some seagulls. of course, she thinks, amused, and gets back on her paws to follow alongside him. 

she watches artaax's expression change, the way his posture shifts as he moves into hunting mode. it's interesting, for sure, but blix herself isn't too interested in catching something. instead she follows alongside him cautiously, careful to keep her footfalls light lest she chase them off too soon, and waits for the hompleia to make eye contact with a potential catch before darting forward into the flock with a boisterous cry, sending the birds into the air as they release a serious of indignant squawks.
