Shadewood we’ll go away when you let yourself grieve

The girl had decided to wander to the first place she'd come to in the forest.
The Balconi Escapade.
She hoped to find the bird again yet suspected she'd left with Kai.
Kai, the sweet girl who Phex would've loved. She was still part of the Family in her eyes and was almost certain in Crys too. She hoped that she was safe and would return.

She trotted calmly down until she spotted a dark form that she couldn't quite place. She chuffed in greeting, however, suspicion of the other filling her eyes. His butt looked funny, like one of those danger cats. 
Ah yes, a Lynx. That's what his tail reminded her of.
"What happened to your butt, eh?" She asked casually, not expecting a touchy response. It was a fact after all.

She moved to the water and quietly sipped at it, expecting an answer or, even better, a story.
