Moonstone Quarry The Starlight Princess

---

the girl seemed defensive, but the inky girl paid no heed. she didn't like the idea of being so close to the same entity that wanted to kill her friend for a crime he hadn't committed, the echoes of a lost home. she paused only when charon's daughter addressed her by name, admitting only, "yes." oddly, the slightest curve of her muzzle followed - she'd liked korei, her gentleness, so opposed to her sisters. 

still, it faded after a beat, and she turned on her heel, eager already to be away from here. "I need to go." she faltered once more, and while she knew the probability of what she envisioned was slim, she requested it of the girl, anyway.  "if she returns - could you tell her I'm alright?" she didn't wait for an answer, already moving off through the trees, beelining back to the last place she'd seen Screech.
