she needs space. time away from Elijah. time from the Hollows. she just needs it. winter is fast approaching. Eden realizes she has never been outside much during any season, much less the cold months. her life was spent under lock and key. it isn't over. not by a long shot. she wants to live. she wants to feel happiness again. it seemed to fade after meeting her friend, spending time in the dark tunnels... aware of others. aware of what they thought. she slips away under darkness. it isn't the right thing to do but she wants to feel the moon. she told herself she deserved the sun, but she keeps coming back to the damn moon. Elijah is her moon she has no sun. the Dunes are vast and cold under her one watchful eye. Eden breathes a heavy sigh, seeing her breath on the air. amused for a moment, she billows more into empty space. it is a fleeting joy, one she has come to expect. but it's not easy to be alone for long. before she knows it, sand is crunching. she turns sharply, her eye trying to get used to the dark. ”Speech”

There is only so much of the caverns that one could take, that much was obvious. Unless you were a complete recluse who hated the outside world it began to wear on you in time. Living in the Hollows was not an easy task but given that was where the majority of her family had chosen to reside (as well as her betrothed) she hadn't had a choice in the matter. It was a damn good thing she couldn't see because she definitely would have told Magnus just how terrible he had done when it came to the scenery. Hell she missed the ocean, the sound of the waves crashing near her. Her large paws led her far from the Hollows, the cool night air refreshing on her skin as she moved. The ground changed in time to sand, a welcome change compared to the cool cavern floor of her pride. An ear flicked, there was another here that much she was certain. Sniffing the air around her Brigid was able to discern that the lioness was a part of the Hollows as well, the pride scent clung to her fur but Brigid did not recognize her individual scent. "So I'm not the only one that needed some air." She commented dryly, pulling to a halt. Her blind gaze wanders, hoping to land in the vicinity of where the lioness stood, though Brigid herself remains motionless all the while. +5 - Study the landscape of an area @Eden

she didn't want to see another lion or lioness of the Hollows. it was unfair, but true. when she turns, she sees a dark brown figure of one of the Gentries. though she could not know their rank, the woman addresses her rather casually. Eden sighs. ”sounds like you don't enjoy the tunnels either” she guesses, trying to fill the void of socialization ”I'm going to move on when I feel better.” straight to the bloody point. Magnus did not 'own her'. she was not part of the pride. so she had no qualms about actually making it a displeasure to refer to the tunnels as such. Eden falls silent, glancing away from the total blind eyes of the woman. the dunes were bathed in a lovely blue-silver glow. she was struck by it's beauty. ”Speech”

This place was different from the caverns for sure, for starters Brigid could actually feel the cool night air against her skin. Could feel the dunes beneath her paws which were a welcome reprieve in comparison to the sleek cavern flooring she had become accustomed to. 'sounds like you don't enjoy the tunnels either. I'm going to move on when I feel better.' When she feels better, that was an interesting bit of information. Brigid didn't know who she was conversing with but she did know that she was a part of the Hollows by scent alone, however she wasn't going to beg this woman to stay. If she wanted to leave she could easily do so, it did make her vaguely curious of who had recruited her to the Hollows in the first place though. "Well I won't stop you .. make sure you end up somewhere you can feel the sun against your skin." Brigid mused then, allowing her toes to settle into the sand as she stretched her forelimbs out. "If I had a choice I'd be right next to the ocean, I know my fiancé probably feels the same .. but our loyalty lies with Magnus so for now we must grin and bear it. I'm Brigid .. and who are you?" She said then, wanting a name at least. She couldn't see her but she would be able to recognize her scent again and if she did she wanted to know exactly who it was she was talking to. @Eden +5 - Study the landscape of an area (2/2) +5 - Learn a character's full name and rank (1/2)
