Northstar Vale A new reason to smile.

In the few days since her return, Ibis had not seen @Reiko - but she had been very distracted with @Akavir in that time, keeping close to him or hiding out within the vale for games and such; things to keep from prying eyes. He had left to find something to eat and Ibis was lounging in a patch of flowers, reminded of the clover field that had been her favorite spot within her father's claim — her skin buzzing, a smile upon her face. She thought of her friend when a tendril of scent caught her attention. As she sat up, she thought she saw her friend further afield - but that couldn't have been right. If it was Reiko, she'd have gained a few pounds. The silhouette was particularly corpulent, and Ibis was perplexed by the sight.
