Phoenix Maplewood spirits in the wind

[font=palatino linotype]Xahi, though she was a tad bit weary from her travels, had high spirits. She continued to trudge on through the snow, her usually-graceful step becoming a bit less majestic than usual...That was fine, she guessed. It was only her stance, the way she carried herself, it would come back. However, it did leave the girl with slight fear. She hoped she could keep up with this pace...hoped. Despite the little pricks of doubt that marked her, the girl found any worries she had previously harbored melting away the moment Lennon's eyes locked with hers. It would be okay. As long as she had Lennon, it would be okay. 
     As lively banter began to spark, Xahi joined in. "Oh, Lennon, you have to sing for us, let us join you." She gave a bright smile, nodding in approval to Korei and Lily.
