Her companion seemed lost in thoughts, or perhaps lost to demons that always plagued one's mind. Loire understood that, knowing how the slightest things could remind you of the smallest memory that was better left not remembered. Her voice, however, seems to pull him back into real time and compel him to answer her question in his richly deep baritone of a voice that somehow calms her wayward soul. She breathes a steady breath outward, nostrils flaring all the new scents in the air yet her perky alert ears stay turned toward Goose, listening to his words of how he’d come across such a place. “How could someone dare to leave such a place?,” Loire wonders out loud in her soft tones, glancing from Goose to the trail they walked, worn from many seasons of travel. The same could be said for Loire though, so far from her homeland of lush rolling hills. How could she have left that to come to these strange foreign lands?

“Rumors cause nothing but pain, “ Loire puts out there in acknowledgement of his own views of someone's past, “It is good you did not judge. That is possibly the worst thing to ever do to anyone in my opinion. We all have our reasons for doing what we do." and with that said they continued on their little trek, the cold chill from the swim had lessened some and now shielded by the tall pines of the bay Loire felt the need to stop after a moment of silence passes between them and Goose goes on to ask her on what brought her here.

“Perhaps it was the potential thrill of an adventure friend, “ Loire replies, her hooves slowing her to a stop. Her curved neck turns her head toward him, blue eyes landing on his curious face. “Maybe i am trying to outrun the demons that threaten to chase me down,” a joke leaves her, a small smile playing on her lips as if unsure if Goose would take her words to heart or not; maybe he would laugh along with her for a moment. “My old home failed me Goose, as sad as that is to say, so I am seeking out to forge a new one; one that will not so easily betray me,” her voice is soft, eyes searching his own to see his true self that would hopefully be reflected by her words.
