Wapun Meadow gilded lily

@Cole and indirectly @Blackfell if you'd still like to write!

a songbird flitted above head, a welcome pop of color amongst the dreary backdrop of the snow. she'd never liked winter. deesk'aaz, devoid of life. in her minds eye, she imagined the meadow to be vibrant and brimming with wildflowers, bees...

oh, how she missed summer. it wasn't enough to break her stride, though. with a pleased smile, esadowa's light-footed steps place her atop a snowy boulder. she claims it as her own, for the time being, and settles down with a dreamy sigh. tail curled at her side, emerald eyes searching the snowy meadow. 

a large figure appeared from the tree line. for a moment, she thought a bear must've awoken from its slumber, on the prowl for food. she tilted her head, curious, as the figure stepped closer. perhaps she should've been afraid, but her spirit was fierce. 

not a bear, but a man, regarding her with a deep voice. she grinned, sprawled languidly atop the icy rock. "could have fooled me." her voice was soft, calm. but in her eyes danced a glint of something playful. "have you come to chase me away, shashtsoh? i am merely resting my tired paws."
