Lake Rodney We don't like when visitors come

It was just as she had suspected: the territory was unclaimed, a home to no one. The knowledge of such granted her the ability to lessen the tension in her muscles, though she remained ready to leave, should it be asked of her. When a similar question then arose, she gave a slow shake of her head before glancing off towards the Sunspire. With her nose, she pointed towards the peaks and said, “I live on that range.” A smile spread across her lips, a glimmer of fondness in her eyes. There were days when she missed the cavern more than others but, no matter the day, she always recognized it as her home. It was where her family lived, where she had been born, and a part of her would always long for it. Since beginning her journey, however, she had found plenty of moments during which she favoured the lands beyond her home far more than the lair itself.

Turning back towards the male, she explained, “It’s nice there, but it is small compared to the world out here.” Too small, perhaps. She wondered, then, if it was truly her sense of duty that kept her from returning. Since setting off on her own, Kaori had believed that the entire reason for the continuation of her wanderings was because she’d yet to find her sister and could not return without her. But... perhaps that was not the case at all. She understood that it was important for her to find Airi and take her back home, but there was a part of her that wished to not return herself. To explore further and live not in the shadow of her elder sibling was a desire of hers, though she did not posses the means to make such a leap on her own.
