It was another chilly day in the lands of Cour des Miracles. The rains that had been plagueing the area had finally abated, but the earth was still soaked, making the fact that it was cold all the worse. The delicate Majordomo of the band of misfits was wearing the cashmere sweater dress that Firefly had chosen for her. The soft, gray fabric was both comfortable and quite efficient as a second layer to keep her petite body warm. Ruri was out for one of her usual strolls, but for some reason she had decided to wander near the borders for the first time in quite awhile. Ever since her encounter with Haku Soul the blue merle collie had done her best to avoid the borders of the pack lands. Regardless of what had drawn her there, the fact was that she was there and was enjoying herself for the most part, except for the occasional bonechilling feeling of one of her white-furred footpads dunking itself into a puddle. Ruri could have done without the wetness adding to the chilly weather, but the fact that she now had clothes and numerous blankets to keep her warm back at her cabin made being in a cold climate much more bearable. Today would definitely prove to be one to remember and the show was starting. THe ivory and merle, blind border collie was shaken out of her blissful daze by a seemingly familiar call, one that she had not heard in many months and indeed had not expected to ever hear again. In a flash, Ruri was running in the direction of the call, her body maneuvering on autopilot across the landscape towards the call. THe fact that she hadn't been around the borders in quite some time was quite apparent as Ruri nearly tripped several times in her haste. She was unfamiliar with the terrain and did not know which areas to avoid. She would worry about how much her feet hurt later, or so she thought as her footpads scrambled over knotty tree roots and rocks which she normally would have avoided to prevent herself from falling. Not today, though, getting to her destination was too important. Her long silver hair flew behind her, whipped by the air as she speeded towards her destination. When Ruri finally neared the source of the call for help, she was out of breath and had several small cuts on her footpaws from where she had stubbed her toe or nearly tripped over a rock, but for the most part she had made it there unharmed. "Seraphine?! Is that you?" she called, unsure as to whether or not her senses were playing tricks on her or not. She could certainly smell the woman in the area and it had sounded like her voice. However everyone made mistakes, even Ruri's acute senses. However, if Seraphine answered back, Ruri would know that she was right. |
