Arrow Lake with a spine of steel

back dated to 7/24; i'm pretty sure they got booted by the checker on monday so they were only gone like 2 days at the most.

praimfaya is tired and she is caked in a layer of mud that @Blodreina frets will never come off. baby blue gaze starburst with the silver they have begun to transition into peer up at the wanlida as they move towards the borders of diaspora in slow unison. the prospect of the scouting trip had sounded exciting to praimfaya — and despite the small mudslide that had trapped them in a cavern within the shadow mountain for a few days it'd been a fun learning experience — the young wanheda is ready to return to ingram and go to their family den and sleep.

and then after she sleeps she thinks she'd like to seek out the general's kids and brag about her trip. a small yawn splits her lips and she thinks of breaking the tight silence that exists between her and wanlida, unsure why her mother's kill-marked shoulders tense with each step closer they draw to home. as the borders come into view and the scent of her father and home draw nearer, praimfaya's step quickens and she lopes forward with the only thought of telling her dad all about their trip and sleep and the eventual bragging to her playmates.
