Anora slowly walked through the forest. She had no idea where she was. She didn't know where she was but the food that she had stolen was gone and now she was alone. This place was completely different from where she was from. The sun was bright over her head and the grass was greener than anything she had seen before but she wasn't looking at the beauty of the world as her stomach grumbled. She groaned rubbing her hand over her stomach. You should have stolen more. She thought as she made her way through the forest. She dropped to her knees at a stream and slowly took a drink from it.
The young girl looked at the fish and tried to grab one quickly but it got away. Her eyes scanned the water and kept trying. At one point she fell into the water. She popped up and slowly stood. The water wasn't that deep. She sighed some and sat down. She took off her shoes and dumped the water out before pulling off her socks and then rolling her pant legs up. Anora sat down and glared at the fish. Stop laughing at me you little bastards.
She pulled her wet shirt off and put it beside her on the ground. She had a tank top on under it and looked around. She kept trying to get the fish but couldn't. She fell back on the ground. Anora was slightly annoyed with the world. I left a hell hole just to starve to death. She knew she was being a little over dramatic. She slowly sat up and took another drink from the stream. She didn't know the last time she hadn't had to steal to survive. She kept her bag and everything close as she laid back down. Her arm rested against her forehead as she stared up at the trees around her.
She might have fallen asleep. When was the last time she slept without worrying about someone coming in to punish her for stealing. She couldn't remember. She woke to the sounds of slashing in the stream. She slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. She yawned a bit. Anora wondered how long she had been out. Her stomach growled again and she groaned. She had forgotten that she hadn't eaten. She looked around before seeing a girl that was about her age in the stream. She watched as she managed to catch a fish. Her eyes widened as she wanted that fish.
Anora slowly moved closer watching not realizing what she was doing.

✿She'd been in the care of Geraldine for quite a few days now. As the young kit that she was, she had made it a point to find every inch of the house that she could hide in, open, or climb up. They dressed her in a little, beige dress and short cotton shorts underneath for freedom of movement. She always tried to bite or wiggle out of things that were too constricting and tight. They'd cut a hole in the back of her shorts for her tail to slide through and poof out the underneath side of her dress. It looked rather odd, but at least it was comfortable for her. She had been naughty and found out a way to crawl from a high-up window down a few stones of the home to get outside. Perhaps it had been half an hour since she was gone and had run into the forests. Sulwyn simply had the urge to still be outside and run amuck. Her movement was a mixture of being on all fours and occassionally walking upright a little hunched. She'd been watching down in the stream for some time now.. feeling the need to fish for some instinctual reason.. Sulwyn had been fed cooked things - which were delicious - and she craved something raw. Though she hadn't had any luck for quite some time trying to grab the fish floating by her. She had her hands in front of her, legs bent and tail sliding back and forth on the ground behind her slowly with ears facing the water.. waiting.. waiting.. waiting.. AH! She chirped, splashing down into the water with her head and gripping a small fish with her teeth. Her head came up and out, shaking the water off of her ears and out of her hair before she heard a footstep her way. One ear tilted in the direction of the sound and she turned her head to see the other girl. Sulwyn looked rather silly.. just sitting there, frozen, with a flopping fish in her mouth as she blinked in the girl's direction and tilted her head. tag: ANORA ▪ words: 354 ▪ ooc: - OM! |

Anora had never seen someone like the girl in front of her. Her green eyes fell on her ears first before looking at the fish in her mouth. She had never seen anyone catch a fish before let alone with their teeth. Her long brown hair had fallen out of the ponytail while she was sleeping so her hair was all around her shoulders. Anora wasn't sure what to say as she watched the girl in front of her. She didn't know how wild she looked. She was almost dry from falling into the stream but her hair was still kind of sticking around her face. Both of her pant legs were still rolled up and she was just in her tank top.
"Hello." She finally found her voice as she shook her head. She didn't want to be rude but her stomach was growling even though the fish was still alive. She watched in flop in her mouth though Anora still wanted it. She knew that she couldn't eat it raw and if she had been back in Zhadrah she would have stolen the fish. Now and then Anora had to remind herself that she wasn't there but she wasn't sure about the people in this new place. Could they be just as bad as the gang members?
As the thought crossed her mind, she tensed a little getting ready for whatever the girl might do. She was young though. Even the kids in Zhadrah weren't bad unless the gangs got them. Anora backed up just a little getting ready for whatever might happen. She wished she hadn't left her bag down stream. What was she thinking? "I'm Anora. What's your name?" She was trying to be nice just in case that kept her from attacking her.
Maybe she was a little paranoid but could anyone blame her for being scared of the people around her. She had gotten the scar on her eyebrow from someone that came in and killed the woman that had helped her. She kept ready just in case she needed to run or fight.

✿Sulwyn had seen a lot of people around the forests with all the traders and other caravans she had been taken to that also participated in illegal and secretive deals. She thought of all of them she could remember, especially the ones that she had seen recently in Geraldine's village. Nope.. the fox couldn't recall a single one that looked like this - how she was dressed. Her head tilted a little further to the side and her ears flipped high up into points when she first spoke up. Sulwyn didn't want to move towards the stranger.. but she did stick her head a little forward to smell her closer in the air. Dirt. Just dirt and water. But.. the dirt was a little different. It smelled sour, like metal, instead of roots or stones. Her stomach growled and the fox picked it up since the rest of the forest, save for them and the stream, was quiet. She understood the other girl's approach now. It made logical, natural sense and Sulwyn didn't sense much danger here. She stepped with her toes and hands very carefully and slowly across the ground, chomping down a little more on the fish to get it to stop moving around so much as the stranger took a step back. When she asked her name, Sulwyn didn't catch on to the language at first. She might have understood it if she payed perfection attention and it was said slower and closer to her, but it didn't click. Instead, she stopped a few yards away, sat back down by the stream, and kept looking at the girl. Sulwyn leaned her head down and sat the fish on some grass beside her before gazing down into the water again with a calmly swishing tail - waiting for another fish.. after all, it seemed she wasn't the only hungry one. tag: ANORA ▪ words: 310 ▪ ooc: - moar fishin |

Anora was worried when the girl didn't say anything. She noticed when the girl seemed to sniff at her. She bit her lip watching before the girl turned back to the stream. She didn't know she had heard her stomach. Anora didn't know that her stomach had even been that loud.
What did she do? Did she offend her? Anora slowly sat down in the grass and watched the girl. She didn't want to get close for fear of scaring her. She pulled her legs closed and watched the girl. She kept her eyes on the young girl. She kind of reminded her of the kids that liked on the streets. Some of them did what they could to survive but then again some of them didn't last either. Anora almost wanted to go back and help them get out but if they did where would they all go. Anora couldn't take care of a bunch of kids and the parents that want to raise them were almost always being bothered by the gangs.
Anora shook her head knowing that her ideas wouldn't help anyone. She couldn't help anyone in Zhadrah. She had helped a few while she had been there but if she went back, she worried about what would happen to her. She watched the sky a little as the girl watched the stream. She didn't think there was any trouble now. What could she do? There wasn't anything. She could keep herself safe and hope for the best but Zhadrah would be the death of her. She couldn't pretend that she would be safe there. She stared at the sky for a while before looking back at the girl.
She ran her hand over the grass softly. She was lost in thought thinking about her home land but she felt like she should have already been dead. There were so many people that were older than her, that had more skill that didn't survive like she did. Why would she? She knew it wasn't because of her gift. She could heal others but not herself and it wasn't like it was something that was known about her. In fact, almost no one knew expect for the ones she had helped and even then they didn't know how they had helped their loved ones. Some thought she had found something that helped but others guessed that she might have a gift.

✿Something about fishing always had Sulwyn so calmed. She was never a very sublte creature, a bit clumsy by nature even in her brightest of moments due to being overly confident or just risky. Adventurous. But the fish in a stream swimming about with twitching and fluid movements in tandem.. it just made her so quietly interested. She was in a trance it seemed. Her head bent down in front of the water, some hair falling down into it though most was pulled back into a braid from her caretaker.. mother.. whatever you would call the Geraldine woman. Sulwyn didn't know. The foxgirl's nose was barely even an inch from the water's surface, her breath never once disturbing it, and she waited with patient and wide eyes - nostrils lifting to catch scents here and there. In the blink of an eye, she jutted her head down into the shallow stream and lifted her head back up with another small fish in her little fangs. She blinked a few times, covered in water, and shook her head visciously until her ears popped straight up. She then looked over to the other hungry girl and tilted her head - tail flapping up and down on the grass with a new feeling of success and excitement. She looked at the fish on the ground that she'd set aside for herself.. then to the girl again.. and started slowly walking a few paces towards her. In a quick series of movements, the fox threw her head up a bit to toss the fish a few more feet in the stranger's direction before scurrying backwards to her own food - just watching her with one ear crooked and hanging down to the side. tag: ANORA ▪ words: 286 ▪ ooc: - HERE! |

She caught the fish and smiled. "Thank you." She moved away from her back to her bag. She started to make a fire. Anora pulled out a few of the stuff to cook the fish. She cut the fish up and cooked it. It smelled great and she wanted to eat it right away but she had to cook it through so she didn't get sick. Anora's mouth started to water as she smelled the fish. She started eating when it was done. She put the fire out after she was done cooking and laid back on the ground.
Anora smiled rubbing her stomach. It was more than she had to eat in a long time. She rubbed her stomach. This place was so much better than Zhadrah. She pushed her hair back. She wasn't thinking about the girl that had caught the fish. She was watching the sky. She had no idea that Zhadrah had been cut off from the world for a long time. She had never seen a place so pretty. She also wasn't in fear here. She rubbed her head thinking about what life would be like if she had been born somewhere else than maybe life wouldn't have been so hard.
She shook her head. She couldn't think like that. She wouldn't be the girl she was if she had been born anywhere else than Zhadrah. She would probably not even recognize herself. Zhadrah was a hard place to live but she wouldn't give it up. She was only fourteen so she wouldn't be able to do the things she could do if she had been in a different place. She liked being able to handle herself and not have to rely on anyone else but part of her wanted to rely on others. She was scared that it would always be her and she would be alone until she died. She shook her head again. Such sad thoughts for someone so young. She closed her eyes and rested.
Anora forgot about everything for a time and just relaxed in the grass with her eyes closed. Sooner or later she would have to move on but the time she wanted to enjoy the time she had at the little creek. She was dry now from the sun. She listened to the quiet noises around her. She smiled softly. It was so peaceful. She didn't want it to end.
