She's such a derpyface. Anyway, it's early morning for me too,
so apologies if this doesn't make sense!

The morning was nice, although Pia Hayes believed that every morning was nice, if she was awake for it. She would have loved to sleep in late today, dozing off in a tree somewhere if not on the big bed in her New Glasglow house, but the newborn sun found her in the wilderness. It was like the neutral territories were more populated than Ichika no Ho-en; it was never far between interesting scent trails of loners and pack wolves and prey. She wouldn’t complain about her new home, as it was beautiful and the luperci there were lovely so far and everything, but she did like to travel and sing on the road.

As self-assured about the peace of the world as she was, the young woman was not a fool when it came to living in the wilderness. Survival instincts bade her rise with the sun before the other critters started their days proper, although she was still very sleepy. Dousing herself in cold water would be the next course of action, and yawning she walked from her little nest toward the river. Her course was altered from the last time she explored, however, and her bland brown eyes widened happily as she saw the cascades.

The tallest of the falls looked scary if beautiful—a towering height, a neck-breaking drop. There were some smaller ones that ran off from others, though, and she ran through the trees to one of those more remote pools. She loosened the threads to her corset, stripping of her clothing, and began to undo her braids one by one—the little ones in the fringe of hair atop her head as well as the main one. Shaking out her dark hair, she grinned and ran out under the water, shrieking happily at the shock of cold spilling over her.
