Ever since she'd stumbled upon that Kalona in the dead of night, Nyx moved with a touch of wariness underneath the moonlight. Not quite predatory enough to strike fear in the hearts of others, and not innocent enough to claim she didn't understand the need to fill her belly with meat. The mare tucked her wings more tightly against her side, her steps subdued as she eventually moved into the shadows. Her night vision wasn't as acute as she would have liked, but she could navigate well enough on her own.In truth, since she'd left her father's sign, Nyx had resigned herself to wandering alone. Her mother had been terrified of her 'demonic' features and her carnivorous appetite and could not stand the sight of her. Such knowledge ate at her even now. How could a child frighten her mother so much that she wanted nothing to do with her?
The thought made her ears pin back, and she was so distracted by her mind that she nearly stepped in a prairie dog hole. She snorted sharply with surprise, stumbling and cursing herself for such foolishness. She was lucky she hadn't broken a leg! Her heart pounding, Nyx came to a stop, giving herself a good shake.
Well. Luckily no one had seen such foolishness.... right?
