Every day's so caffeinated

Hello hello! :D

From the Heartwood she'd travelled North, across rolling plains and over jagged mountains until she'd found herself in another forest, lush like Neverwinter, but not nearly as oppressive. Andalusia remained a vagrant wanderer, going where her fancies led without much direction otherwise. Meeting Ciervo had invigorated the woman, and now the possibility of finding Chehlia - and maybe even Sumayl, who'd been the first to leave - seemed more a possibility than ever before. The mere prospect made her paws tingle and she picked up an eager pace, for once excited for what she would find in these vast and unfamiliar lands.

She was mildly aware that another stalked the Vale: a distant skirmish had alerted the woman to their presence here, but she hadn't caught wind of them in the forest. Andalusia had assumed the other had left, but as the Ostrega moved through the thinning trees she found her theory proven false. A figure of grey hunched in the meadow beyond the forest, not far from where Andalusia wandered now. The Ostrega considered turning away, for the wind carried the scent of blood, and she was not keen to come between a hunter and their prey again. But the hesitation lasted only a heartbeat, and soon she carried herself into the open valley in full view of the other who shared the Vale.

"Thought I heard someone else up here." came the golden woman's greeting as she approached the other woman with a glimmer in her eye. Andalusia paused a healthy distance away and let her gaze not fall upon the rabbit, but hover instead just off the woman's face.
