The family was in turmoil.
Admittedly, it was not anything that would do lasting damage to the Phantom Clan, for which Masque de la Phantom was most grateful. However, the headache of her sister's flirtations, her father's over-reactions, her friend's mis-information, etc, etc... Was really beginning to wear on her. As Masque had not yet had an unkind thought in her life, she thought it best to step away from the situation...
Or she might start forming them.
And if she formed them, she'd say them.
And then, it would be a whole lot worse.
So the shy, elusive Phantom Child stepped away from all those she knew, and went wandering. It was something she was doing increasingly more often, as the family grew larger and the cheerful chaos more chaotic. Masque really wasn't one for a big hurrah, she liked the quiet...
Well.. Except, that it was awfully lonely...
What she did next was second nature, or perhaps first, considering her family. Since no one else was around, Masque took a deep breath, and sang...
"Where do you go when you're lonely? Where do you go when you're blue? Where do you go when you're lonely, I'll follow you..."
It had been a long walk, he hadn't an idea of to where he was nor did it really seem that he cared. Beads scraped softly against the rack upon his head, the pale horns bent too and fro as he was forced to dip his head to miss entangling himself in the branches above. Skah's pure white hide gleamed in places when he passed through the dappled lighting, the star markings on his back and rump almost seemed to sparkle in his movements. Deep pools of blue, long had the color spilled from their boarders and colored the whites of his eyes to make it look like he had solid blue eyes.
