Normally the woman would have caught the sound of the approaching paws but she'd been preoccupied with the strange architecture of the building. Firefly had seen stone buildings before but never one so massive and seemingly crude but strong. She had been running her nails across the smooth surface, surprised, having thought that the stone would have been slightly rough but years of hands prior had oiled it like a well worked machine. Her eyes cast up to the splash of sunlight that sparkled down from the narrow but heighty windows above. She smiled at the flit of wings as a mourning dove took off through the opening, leaving a misting of dust, much like the soft fall of the first snow.
She shook her head as the dust settled, appalled that she was letting such whimsical thoughts filter through her brain. She really was letting all this wishy-washy hormonal thoughts go to her head. Sighing softly she moved down the hall and into a large room by the looks of it a ball or dinner hall, she couldn't really tell since the place had obviously been ransacked for whatever goods might be left. Running her fingers through the remnants of an old curtain that was falling to pieces she paused, feeling like she was being watched.
Firefly slowly turned her head, catching nothing but shadows and the motes of dust flickering in the air. She just shrugged it off for the moment, figuring that one of her packmates was coming to collect her for some task or another. It would figure the first time she sets foot outside the lands someone wants or needs something. If they really wanted me they wouldn't be lurking in the shadows. she thought before moving around the giant archways in the room. She didn't care if they lurked in the shadows or followed her about as long as they didn't interfere with her ramblings or if they did they'd better be prepared to entertain.
