Was I left behind?
Tell me, tell me I survived.

Whenever I left the Prairie, I had this feeling that knocked against the back of my skull, attempting to pull me to return. I felt it always, it's constant, staccato thud. It was like a countdown - the longer I was away, the harder the clock, the faster the tick. It ambled on now, balking between my ears, reminding me of the responsibilities I had back at home. Darshan needed me. She and all the others with sweeping pregnant bellies and the spring season being so near.

But I needed this. If only for the fleeting opportunity of casual conversation with a stranger. Someone who didn't know what had happened to all of us. Someone who didn't judge you by where you were from, or who you aligned yourself with. I needed a glimmer of something new, something fresh, something that wasn't drowning the dreariness of the war. The war was over.

She smiles sweetly at my silly comment, and I appreciate the fact that she lets my injuries go. My own eyes follow her gaze as it sweeps out across the meadow, the treeline to the east and the shoreline to the west. Back in the day, Kasabian used to say he'd always heard the folklore of this place. That's what sparked his quest to find it for himself. His fascination was enough to draw nearly the whole family here overtime. It was my half-brother who'd charted the course of my entire life, in that way. I bob my head when she mentions she was "satisfied" by what she'd found. An amused, lopsided grin crossed my lips then at her choice of words. "There's certainly plenty to explore among the chain. The terrain varies greatly from each one." I offer with the flick of my tail.

"I was born here. On Luthien, in the Prairie." I explain when she asks. "But I left for a few years to see what else was out there. Like you, I was eventually satisfied by my findings. So I came back."

"My name is Shamwari, by the way." I add gruffly. "So where do you think you'll venture to next?"
