Redhawk Caldera Henry Knight

Frolic couldn’t sleep, in part because she couldn’t stop thinking of the conversation she’d had with her parents over supper. She’d asked how old she had to be in order to go scouting by herself. @Eljay and @Maia had each given a different answer, though neither of them was anytime soon. She’d gone to bed a bit dismayed, thinking about how much she disliked being stuck in Brecheliant lately. Truth be told, she did not just want to go on some temporary scouting expedition. Frolic wanted to leave and go exploring, like for real.

After some tossing and turning, Frolic gently lifted @Glee’s limp foreleg off herself and climbed out of bed. She stepped out into the night, glancing upward at the crescent moon. Somewhere out in the darkness, an owl hooted. Frolic squinted, then began padding in the direction of the noise. She yawned every few steps, tired despite her insomnia.
