It's been two days.
Corrdelia has spent these last two days searching endlessly for her companion, Hāsta. It's not like the crow to be separated from her for very long, but she had decided to go off and hunt while Corr spent more time in Delumine's library. She didn't think anything of it since the bird had to eat too and didn't have the magic or luxury that the equines did.
But then when Hāsta never came back to the camp that night, she became worried. They weren't planning to spend too much more time in Delumine. Just long enough for Corr to return a book and maybe skim the pages of a few others. The library is a fascinating place, not only because of all the knowledge it holds but because of its stunning architecture. She could stare at it for hours and still find more details she's amazed by.
Now that her crow has turned missing though, there isn't much else she can focus her mind on. There is a growing pit in her stomach and she's not liking what her gut is telling her. Corr so desperately does not want to start thinking of the worst case scenario, but the crow has never spent this long away. She hardly ever leaves Corr's side for that matter. They are like two peas in a pod- practically inseparable. Until now by some unknown force.
At the crack of dawn, the dappled mare set out again to try and search for the crow. Normally she can feel her through their bond, but there is nothing but dead silence. This is the part that worries her and is driving her mad. She refuses to believe that something bad happened to her. That maybe she -
No.
She's determined to find her. Somehow, somewhere. Corr gets her hopes up when she hears something nearby, but it just turns out to be another equine coming from behind her. She doesn't know many from the Dawn Court, but so far they seemed fairly nice. Maybe this one would be kind enough to help her look for Hāsta.
"Oh, h-hello," she stutters, wiping away some of the tears that had formed in the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry to bother you, but would you perhaps be able to help me find someone? Her name is Hāsta. She's a crow about this big," Corr explains, raising her hoof off the ground to gesture the bird's size. "She went missing. I-" The mare's mind feels cluttered with so many thoughts and emotions.
"She's my bonded." The words come out like they are choking her, but she doesn't want to lose it in front of this stranger. She tries her best to keep her composure and prays to Vespera that they'll be willing to help, or maybe even have a lead.
