Swiftcurrent Creek earth kills

it does not surprise the commander to find arric upon the borders; as a leader she expected to find one or both of them during her patrols.

though she is perfectly content not crossing paths with any of the creek's other sentries. border patrols are her time to reflect.

or, sometimes, to shut off thoughts and let instinct and routine be her guide.

arric's chuff draws a flick of her ears; dull gold gaze finding him with a respectful dip of her head.
