Big Salmon Lake Someone Said They Left Together

He seemed receptive to her. Already trying to formulate a plan for their new destination. Omnium stood on the peak of the embankment, looking out into the vast wilderness that laid before them. Etephyr took a moment to admire him, the sun shimmering perfectly off his fur. Further, she wondered what adventures they would find along the way. Omnium queried where they should go next but Etephyr was just as lost as he. Except she had no real long term plan, she wasn't even expecting to make it to old age. The woman shrugged, meeting his gaze with eyes that echoed the same sentiment as her shoulders.

He moved on to ask her where she had been, a question she could finally contribute to. "My time here has been limited, these lands are still foreign. I traveled west for a time but did not stay long enough to properly scout the area." Etephyr glanced at the west mountains as Omnium brushed against her. "As for the east, well, I've never been. I suppose we can start searching east." She suggested. The morning gift suddenly popped into her mind and Eteph finally decided to lay down. She tucked one paw beneath the head of the fish while the other held the tail. Before she began to work on its scales, the woman spoke again.

"Omnium," She set a new tone to bring his attention to a fine point, if it wasn't already there. "Before you make a decision. Tell me, why has a maverick such as yourself decided to humor company like mine?" Etephyr genuinely wanted to know why she was so special. "It cannot simply be due to a promise made in a heated moment, can it?" Perhaps she was repeating herself but she wanted to know any hidden truths.
