Redsand Canyon mollis

Peon asked a question she hadn’t really considered. Did she even, really, want to go anywhere? She liked the canyon okay, but it wasn’t like it was home or anything. No place really was. Tierra didn’t do well with silence or alone-time and if she stayed she was probably about to get a whole lot of both. She could always go join Epoch, but maybe it was time to do something new. Like, new new.

Her dad had never reappeared but she still had family on the coast. It could be cool to go see what it was like to stay there a while. She’d been taken with the idea ever since she’d met them briefly, before, with Reyes and Teya and her siblings. She had learned things and even her badass warrior grandmothers would have to be impressed, right?

Or, she could see where he was going. The coast was still old… anywhere he went would probably be new. Like, new new. But it might get boring, traveling with just Germanicus, and if he was anti-social she’d probably have to ditch him just to meet anyone cool. Would’ve been nice if Bearnose, or whatever his name was, stuck around to at least care where they all ended up. And no way was she analyzing why his leaving, in particular, stung more than even her sister’s.

She didn’t say anything, but her mind was clearly spinning on the options. Afterwards she’d speak with Germanicus about it, once she’d figured out what it was she actually wanted to do. In the end, she’d pick the decision that was least decided - because choosing to explore was the opposite of actually choosing any place.

last for her!!!
