Noctisardor Bypass Stuck In Deep

Perhaps for someone she hasn't met yet?

Malila was restless. Fidgety. Out of sorts. And rightfully so, ever since Speedy had left. She had always been used to her mother being there by her side. Or at least, not being apart from her for very long. Left alone in Rivenwood and not entirely sure when her mom would return, Malila's nerves were on edge. Making matters worse was the fact that she hardly knew anybody here, except for Mahler.

Out under the open night sky, dotted with stars, the teen attempted to sleep. Bedded down in an open space of tall grasses dotted with pink, purple, white and yellow little flowers. You would've thought she was perfectly at ease, snoozing away contently. But her efforts were in vain. She tossed and turned, huffing. She couldn't just shut her mind off. Her legs demanded that she move, to perhaps work out some of that nervous, built up energy. Rising, she shook off her blonde coat, setting out at a brisk, anxious walk through the night.
