Whee~
"The sea is a sacred place, Miss Sage," Alaine spoke softly, her accent well fitting for her words.
The tanned girl's eyes wandered back from their vacation to the sea; Sage felt wonderfully comfortable in the presence of the doggish woman. Maybe it was this land that blessed it's inhabitants, but the Lady Alaine was stunning in Sage's eyes. The Lykoi girl gave a simple nod in response. She already knew it to be sacred, and she had treated it as such. This had been a place she'd come before, to think; she loved it's calming, metronomic song and the salty air. This place called to her nearly as often as Inferni did, and it was nigh irresistible to the Earth child.
"Come now, get on your Lennon. I would like to show you something." Alaine said now, her accented voice taking on a sharper, more assertive tone.
Sage was quick to follow the collie-woman's lead, grasping gently onto Lennon's mane before climbing atop his tall back. The Stallion's fur and skin was warm from the Sun's rays, and she couldn't help but sink into it for a moment before taking off in pursuit of the Cours Lady Alaine, and the chestnut Nana.
Of course she knew not where the Lady led her, but followed nonetheless, relying only on the woman's good will, and her own trust of her fellows on this Earth. She would not have followed so readily had she felt anything less than good in the golden-furred woman.
The hippie girl coaxed Lennon into an easy trot behind Nana, finding him to be more focused in the presence of a partner. With a smile, a small hand fell to his mane, her sun-colored eyes focused ahead. Where would they go, she wondered, what would they see? Whatever it was, the woman had managed to capture the distracted girl's interest, and she happily followed.
The forest reminded her of Inferni, but the scent and the sensation of the place was completely different. It was marvelous, and Sage bathed in the land's aura as they rode together through the trees.
