No one could have, or would have guessed that the white damsel and the silvery earthchild would share some sort of connection. They had a love for pretty things, but through the Lapis Lazuli's of the clay and silver colored woman, she saw beauty even in death. Whereas the Dawnbringer female hardly liked to hunt, for the fact that she would have to kill something, and smell the rotting stench and feel all that blood drip down her muzzle. The mere thought made her shiver, but she was glad for being a Luperci. Being able to kill things without touching them, and having the fingers to make fire and cook meat - it felt like a blessing she didn't know who to thank for.

Yet the coyote beside her seemed to understand. She didn't seem like the type to do anything one didn't want to do, which was fine by the white and cream hued female. Despite wearing her emotions on her sleeve, and the conversation always driving to her, it seemed like China did not mind. Shiloh was nearly taken aback by this.. what kind of life did this coyote live, from Inferni of all places, to be so passive.. so gentle? Shi never remembered anyone from that pack like China. Had her father Drey not been around to protect his one and only princess, she more wolf than coyote, she'd have been torn to pieces. There she felt like she stuck out like a sore thumb, being perfectly white and proper, but in Dahlia she could be who she really was.

"Ah!" Shiloh squeaked, as she was suddenly tugged forward. At first she was taken by surprise at the gesture, having been lost in her thoughts, as the silver and clay coyote pulled her towards a destination. The earthchild seemed to know where she was going, as if the butterflies that hovered around them had given China a sign. "Where--?" But she was cut off by China's more insistent tone, and slight irritation was evident as she flicked her ears. It disappeared just as her hand was left to trail into the air, the earthy female pushing ahead happily. Shiloh watched as she pushed past some bramble rather quickly, and her upper lip curled for a moment. The pristine female took her time to push through the dry brush, which didn't look at all appealing, but the scene past it made it worth it to cross.

Flowers came in waves of color, each shade flowing into different hues, molding and coming together in a bunch that didn't allow for the ground which they grew on to be seen. Cerulean eyes brightened as she bathed her gaze in the scenery, her happiness showing. Butterflies helped the scene as they lightly touched upon the petals of several flowers, their wings a stark contrast upon the pastel colored flora. Silence hung in the air between the two females, trying to come over the shock of the beauty that the forest dwellers led them to. "I-- but.. how did you know?" She said, reluctant to tear her eyes from the flowers to her new friend. Wonderment shone in her cerulean orbs, almost not wanting to believe that this female was so at one with the earth that she picked up the faintest signs. It was like the butterflies whispered to the earthchild as they fluttered above them, telling the two forest visitors of their secret.
