Stavanger Bay i came back from my spotlight

didn't you mean, then y'allest tree? 

no doubt saucy had heard about how miserably her training session with ford had gone. dalia knew that it wasn't gonna go great, and she knew that she had a lot to learn but... god damn it, why'd it have to go so poorly? she was mortified now of ever sparring anyone else -- i mean, she still was gonna... obviously, but they were just gonna see how bad she was at it. dalia wished she'd get better faster.

but so she kind of avoided her session with saucy today... not for too long though, the stress of standing her friend up weighed greater on her than anything else. so she showed up, beneath the tall tree that they said they'd meet, looking rather sheepish. "sorry i'm late," dalia said with a weak smile, her tail waving slowly and her ears fallen a bit lower.
