"TAKE ME TO YOUR ORCHARD, SO SWEET"
Rivewhisper was very, very still.
She had been far quieter then she had been as an apprentice- she did not scream or shout as often, did not thrash or complain. She was the picture of poise today. Sun streamed upon her, lighting her normally duller-browns a firey red. Twin blue eyes lifted to that of a low moor bush ahead, the leaves disintegrated by raging fire- but the wood stood twisted, gnarled, low branches exposed. Two birds were pressed down together on them, unaware of the monolith of a cat that stared ahead.
Despite the ash that settled around them, a burnt hope of newleaf, they were curled up against each other. Ears twitched as Rivewhisper watched- who knows what she was thinking about? What information bounced around her brain? They didn't stay for long, taking off a moment later. Spiraling together, her eyes watching them as they went.
