OOC here!
The pain filled howls that had rendered the air when Dalgina had been informed they would be leaving ignali had long since faded, giving way to small whimpers. Dalgina had fled from the house, looking for a place in Ichika where she could just bury herself, forcing them to look for her. They wouldn't leave without her, so maybe if Dalgina kept hidden long enough they would change their mind, and she would be able to stay, instead of leaving for the scary world beyond the borders.
Dalgina laid flat in a clump of grass behind a bush. It was impossible to spot the black puppy, though the small whines that occasionally broke through the air helped with locating her. Why did they have to leave? She was going to play with Kiara and the new puppies, and she had Neela there, and the temple that she could play in with all the beautiful carvings, and Whisper would be left behind. No, she would rather just stay, and not deal with leaving the safety where the blood creatures roamed.
