Sun Mote Copse dreamstate

How the fuck had she walked all the way here without really realizing it? She was so busy marveling over this that she didn't even notice Kiwi's arrival and subsequent departure. Only after her sister had already come and gone did a whiff of her scent—stronger than the fading markers along the borderline—slip into her nose. Bat jerked, blinking around at the nearby scenery, yet she didn't see any sign of the Regent. Her brow furrowed as she ran her tongue over her teeth, then swirled it against her inner cheek, almost as if literally chewing on her thoughts.

She could call for her sister directly, or her mother. But Bat was still a little astounded at her own presence here. She made a move as if to turn only to abort it. Well, she'd made the journey all the way here, so she may as well visit with Wildfire at the least. Her mother hadn't seen too torn up by the news about nomi, though that wasn't altogether surprising. She'd moved on now, with Eljay, and they were going to start a family together. That was one of those things about which she had no idea how to feel and this apparent gridlock in her head resulted in her just continuing to stand there stupidly at the edge of the copse.
