WC:: 588 - <3
A familiar warmth covering her face awoke the midnight girl, hands reaching up to push the lynx off of her gently, feature rearranging into the girls best attempt of a scowl at her feline companion and not doing a very good attempt when all Omi did was roll onto her back and look all too cute. Reaching out she allowed for the cat to rub against her outstretched palm, smiling shyly down at one of her few true friends before wriggling to the edge of her bed of pelts and pulling herself up onto two feet. Padding over to the window she pulled back the rough, tattered blanket that was being used to cover the small opening in the hill-house, vibrant eyes narrowing slightly at the subtle brightness that bled in. Looking out it became obvious the time was roughly around dawn, the house seemingly silent indicating that everyone else was either out or asleep.
Turning back she perched at the edge of her bed, scratching lightly upon Omi's head as she considered what she wanted to do now that she was up. A small ache in her stomach indicated she was hungry, but she didn't wish to wake up Hael demanding for food.... just yet. Aside from Hael there was no one currently within the lands she wished to spend time with and with her... physical weaknesses she could do little more then draw maps to aid the pack. Blinking her eyes she smiled smugly as the idea struck her; so preoccupied in drawing maps she had begun to neglect simply drawing, of which she more often then not found was both relaxing and a good way to waste time, until Hael was around and she could get some food that was.
Closing her door behind her, the midnight girl slunk through the house, careful to minimise as much noise as possible as he picked up her bag of art equipment stored beside the main door, throwing it over her right shoulder she exited the hill-house with Omi trailing behind her.
Tugging at the strap she fiddled with it till it settled across her more comfortable, two legs propelling her forward at a brisk pace and her sights fixed straight ahead, somewhat oblivious to that which was around her. She wasn't out and about to draw maps or do productive work for the pack, but to find simple enjoyment for herself; yet, even as she walked she plucked out a pad and began to doodle down the sights and map out where she was going and what she saw in the limited light that surrounded her. Staring at the doodles before her, she chuckled lightly. “Maybe this is becoming abit of a habit” she mused allowed, entertained by how even in the near-dark she was drawing maps as she went.
Following no set path, the girls wanderings soon led her towards the horse stables, the rose-pink lights of the rising sun giving colour to that which would be nothing more then a boring old building otherwise. Pausing she stared for a moment until Omi wrapped around her ankles, the girls eyes dragging downwards to her companion, before flicking back up at the sounds of distress and unfamiliar voice. Dropping her equipment back into her back, she reached into the side pouch inside it and pulled out her remaining small dagger before edging her way over to the strange sound.
Crouching down she hid herself behind some foliage, watching the scene before her with mild curiosity and caution.
