indra let loose a held breath as phoenix took it in -- no sign of scorn or disappointment on his features. she was relieved, but that relief was tenderly shortlived as he plunged into the forest. she called for him to wait after her, but he was already gone -- and as she pressed deeper, it became more evident that they were not in no-man's land at all --

no, this land was somebody's land.

and that somebody came, and caught the two of them frolicking like adolescent goat-kids -- indra was sheepish as that somebody's presence explained their wrongdoing, and quickly nipped at phoenix's hip and ran quickly out of dodge -- but not before throwing a loud apology to the wind for the poor soul that had come to inform them of their (stupidity) oversight.
