so sorry if this stinks/keeps things dragging ><;;
There were so many that lived beyond that the earth had made them. Higher then the dirt and grass, taller then the trees. It was where the humans had placed themselves all those years ago. Beyond what had created them. It had destroyed them, she had always believed, and it despite their efforts it was the ground and soil that they returned to. Anu reached for and praised a deity that was beyond, higher then all creation. But she never forgot the ties that rooted her to the simple things and to the things that seemed to now be beneath their kind. What had been left behind by those that wished to be separated from the Earth was of very little use or value, their teachings and knowledge not something that she had every come to understand. His home, was not something that Anu felt horribly ordinary or boring. It was just life, as simple and natural as any other pleasure or comfort that their kind would search for. He was ordinary, but such a thing was seen as negative in her eyes. How could someone or something that came from and lived so closely to the Earth, as she saw it, be anything but wonderful?
They were not unlike the other, and Anu nodded and watched his face as he spoke. The shadows the fire bore along his features were deep and dark. Riding along the scar, his mane casting darkness over his eyes and shadowing them from her sight. A long time Anu knew what that was like. A few had filtered into her life, staying as they pleased and moved away when they wished. It all seemed beyond her control, it was always beyond her control. She stayed, she was unmoving and yet the world drifted away.
She touched his face, her fingers moving along the surprisingly soft fur before she realized what she was doing. They traced lightly to the locks that hid his gaze from her, reaching to push they away. She didn’t know why, but the simple touch was natural, comforting even to have his fire licked amber eyes back on her own. He wasn’t alone, she wished to say but remained silent as her hand drifted away. Not alone in the abandonment, if only emotional in some instances. Shocked herself that she had passed the barrier that they had unspokenly set between them, Anu sat still and unable to move from the closeness; rooted and unmoving and waiting for him to drift.
