"SUREFIRE, YEAH, THE SETTING SUN WANTS COMPANY"
The morning’s mist clung to each twoleg nest like a pelt, blurring their edges with cotton. Each rigid pathway fell away into white along the horizon, a sight Daisyflight might have found novelty in if it wasn’t an obstacle to her plan. Exasperation pulled her ears flat, their tattered tips splayed wide. She looked over her slate shoulder to her family and summoned an apologetic smile.
“I knew it was damp today but I hadn’t expected this. I had hoped to point out the spire I used to live beside but we’ll be lucky if we can see anything!" Pausing atop the stone wall they walked along, the molly tried to salvage her intent. She had brought her children along for a little excursion into the fringes of the twolegplace, careful to choose a route that kept them well out of the thoroughfare. In the lowland they had briefly travelled through the extent of the mist had been hidden from them. Now they had arrived at a high point it was clear there would be no landmark learning today.
"Ha, well at least there’ll be no running into, ah- any undesirables" A tremor caught Daisyflight’s tone as she became suddenly aware of the topic she had put her paw in. As if shaking her leg free from a trap, she cleared her throat unsubtly and looked to the skyline.
It did bring her a little unease, in truth, to stray so close to her old haunts. The prospect of bumping into Raven Ramble with her- their- kits in tow frayed her nerves to splinters. Not a murmur of him had been told to them and she intended to keep it that way. His charm would be too tempting, just as effective in raising hopes as it was in dashing them.
"Oh! That red building is just visible- it holds the scent of milk and twoleg sweets" A chalk-gloved paw indicated a form in the smog, crimson peaking from behind another concrete slab. "If you were to get lost in the twolegplace, that nest is a good marker to return to the territory. An ever-muddy track runs behind it towards the forest." She tried to describe it in the most detail as she could, dredging up moon-old memories. For Violetpaw, visible landmarks held very little use, and so Daisyflight made sure to include mention of other pointers. After Blaze’s star-told trip, she wanted to ensure they had some understanding of the layout of these parts.
