Petal did not understand.
This was not a new thing — the whole not understanding. Every day there was something new for her to see, do or hear. Newness was not so new. Yet every day she kept her thoughts and feelings on any kind of newness to herself.
How did you talk about things you did not understand?
It was easier to simply just be. She tagged along and found that any sleep had now would be leagues better than it had ever been before. Perhaps because she had not been this exhausted ever. Somehow there was a comfort in that. The kind of exhaustion that cleared her mind of any thoughts and seeped into her bones.
She only yawned and gently headbutted her mother's hind limb before they carried onward.
There would be more things to exhaust her in the days to come.
