Spending time with Everlast on a daily basis was something she was used to, along with her mother's strange...rantings. So when she finally got time to herself for once, it was a blessing. The silence of the trees encompassed me in their warmth, while listening to the sounds of nature that went on all around her without fail. She wondered silently to herself most days if mom was really sane or not, and if this Nike character she talked about was truly real. She hoped he was, and that she had another sibling out there somewhere. That'd be fantastic.

I had to be at least a mile away from the den, when the frantic voice of her mother reached her ears. She sounded panicked, and Rozenn froze on the spot. Her eyes wide as her fur stood on end. She wanted to keep exploring, but knew that if she didn't turn back to find her mother, it'd be an untenable situation. She cursed, a creole word under her breath. Thank her father for that. She turned, her grey and white form moving easy as she loped over the fallen logs and branches, feeling a few thorns catching on her fur as she ran, wincing when it pulled little tufts of fur off her shoulders. Shit.

She came to a sliding halt a few yards from the den. "Mom! I'm right here. I was just exploring the woods a little." She murmured slowly as she moved steadily towards her mother, reaching out to brush her mom's cheek softly. "I didn't go far, I promise." She sat slowly, watching her mother's face carefully, hopefully she'd be alright now.
