Sunbeam Lair breathe (in the air)

Oh, this girl was nervous. Sweet, but nervous all the same. Lily noted how she leaned away, joining in the laughter but looking incredibly taken aback. With a shrug, the dark-pelted girl let the light dim from her eyes a little, molding her manic pixie nature into something kinder, gentler.

"That's really cool," she remarked about Korei's old home, smiling. "It does snow a lot up here, though. More than down there." She looked outside again, her gaze tracking individual flakes for a long moment. She wondered when it would stop. She wondered if it would ever stop, up here.

"What do you do, then?" Lily said spontaneously, moving her eyes back to Korei's. "Like, for fun. Or I guess as a job, too." She wondered if Korei knew about jobs. Everyone had one, at least as soon as you grew up. Like Freddie was a singer, and kept everyone happy, and Dottie was a great hunter. Jimmy was a border guard, and Lily a caretaker, tending to the old and young alike.

She heaved a small sigh, eyes growing sad for an instant. She did miss her littermates, just now.
