Firefly Glen [PHE]So many sights

Alaric had agreed to bring both Tikaani and Kinusi down from the mountain. Pie was offered a chance at coming down, but she had declined. Tiki felt a little guilty leaving her friend behind, but she was going to make sure she heard and saw everything so she could describe it so beautifully to Pie that she thought she was there.

There were so many faces, and smells. Food in nearby spots where wolves worked on carving off pieces to take back to packs. Songs and healers and so much more.

She stared helplessly unsure at the world around her.

The slightly overwhelmed face of his daughter came into view as he turned a corner, and he made a bee-line for Tikaani, a broad smile on his own countenance in greeting.

Hey, Tiki, Killdeer said warmly, giving her a lick across the soft crown of her head and pulling her into an embrace, if she'd allow. Whatcha doin'?

It was strange to see the girl without her mirror in Treepie. The two had been pretty much inseparable since he'd known them; it just have taken a lot for her to come without Pie. 

Thus, he was happy to fill the void in at least some measure.

steals all your threads

Pushes them into your arms take em all <3

She looked up at him. Hey daddy'o. Then she made a face and shook her head. I definitely been spending too much time with Kinusi.

A small smile. But anyway. Hiya dad. SHe buried herself into his side, their colors matching. As she looked around. 

I wanted to see it all and then tell Pie all about it! But there's so much to see. I don't know where to start. I have to study it. Cause I gotta tell her so she doesn't miss anything. She has to feel it, breathe it even smell it!

Then she looked up at him. Can you describe stuff like that actually? So well that it seems real?

<333

The two of them melted into each other, piebald pelts as one. He nodded along with her sentiments, but wasn't exactly sure how to answer her question. He'd never been the greatest storyteller, after all.

Well, Killdeer began, choosing his words carefully, I think you said it best. Remember all the sights and sounds and smells and repeat them back in detail.

He stepped back and sat down on his haunches, looking studious. Okay. Pretend I'm Pie. Think about it for a moment, then tell me about everything you're experiencing right now, as if I wasn't sitting here.

He gave her an encouraging grin, waiting for her to start.
