Duck Lake Secrets are bound to come out.

crëyr: surprise mofos

Crëyr smiled, her paws gentle against the barren land that had once been lush with growing grass. Well, there was an entirely different beauty to winter than to summer, anyway. For the first time in two weeks, she was genuinely feeling entirely carefree and happy, having recently gained her outrider trade. Now she was the second outrider to represent the Bypass.

Flash hadn't returned yet, though. The grayscale girl couldn't exactly say if she eagerly awaited him to come back, but was trusting herself to lean on a slightly more... neutral opinion.

She padded across the shrubbery before her nares detected scents— two, both of which were vaguely familiar, mingled together. Knowing that she'd smelled them before, her paws brought her swiftly towards the smell, somewhere beside the lake— and leaning back, postures entirely relaxed, were Raziel and Scarlett.

Raziel, Shadow's half brother she'd met at the exact same spot a couple days ago. Scarlett, the crimson-eyed female she'd also met at the exact same spot a couple days ago. Both of whom were her friends, wrapped together in each others' paws, a couple, apparently. Well, they looked like one, anyway.

Wow. Coincidence much?

"Raziel! She called out cordially, treading steadily towards them, surprise tainting her tone. "Scarlett! This is a gigantic coincidence."
