Wapun Meadow an unexpected journey

indra could have shared asp's sentiment for distaste in maternal figures -- her own was a dark blight against their family history, though indra often recalled saena with a forlorn and lonely nostalgia. in the end, she believed neither she nor laurel had been good enough for their intemperate mother.

she appreciated that asp was direct too -- it certainly spared the both of them time and any potential misunderstandings. "bearclaw has room, if you're ever looking." she offered plainly, her gaze swept back to the rim of the valley. had asp been male, her invitation would not have been so forthcoming -- as it was, asp was not, and indra often found herself preferring the company of females on the premise alone that they often were neither as belligerent or as stupid as their male brethren.

she didn't wait long for an answer -- quietly, she strode past the bough the woman rested upon and continued her journey outside the valley.
