kindred
Drift gently...
She had needed a small break. Her mind had been spinning, chest so tight. There were so many new creatures that wandered these lands she just wasn’t quite sure how one was to go about living near them all! It wasn’t that she had been a hermit growing up; at least not necessarily. No. This was more so about the fact that Kindred had only ever been around such a small number of other creatures at one time that she could not bring herself to comprehend the nature in which others could ever desire to mingle within such large groups.
Alas, this intrigue that it sparked would most certainly be enough to draw her weary hide back into the confines of the dawn kingdom shortly. Just… not right this second. She had too much a desire for the peace and quiet which usually came with ascertaining the local fauna. Not much within in believed that she would recognize much of what grew here – after all, it seemed to be far different from where they had once laid rest. Different poisons, different cures, possibly even different ailments than she had ever seen were likely to bubble forth here. So, for now, she would just count the different plants she saw. One number for each distinct type. If anything seemed to take her fancy, perhaps she would pluck it and tuck it away in her little herb pouch – but she wasn’t quite sure she would actually find one that could.
Kindred wasn’t particularly sure how long she had been walking before she finally picked up on the sound of a babbling creek. And then, in the distance, the faint sound of water crashing off rocks. She blinked, took note of how grimy she felt (albeit she wasn’t really that grimy at all – her coat just lacked a pristine shine of the state she preferred to keep it in), and started to move toward the waterfall. A little dip in the water couldn’t be all that bad, now could it? After all, she could use a small treat to herself every once in a while, and now didn’t seem to be too bad of a time to allow it.

Hope this works; sorry about the lateness - I couldn't decide where to post .-.
