Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Arie, no. We can't stop for every tasty leaf or bite of grass or we'll be out here for a week." The Elaria tugged on the reins of the stubborn Quristine, trying her best to steer him away from anything that she thought might be tempting for him. Which, unfortunately, was almost everything. Plants had little trouble growing in Yael's humidity, with moss and flowers surrounding her at all turns, no matter where she went. It was beautiful and Doesina loved nothing more than to stop and admire them. Maybe pick a few flowers to weave into a crown for her or her mother's head as a gift. Today, however, she was eager to get back to Rens. She had been visiting with her grandmother the past few days, a monthly ritual the older Aishan wasn't about to let her granddaughter dip on just because she had recently returned from a long trip to Jauhar where she'd spent years wandering the forest and probably wanted to relax back home. No. That was just another sign of her going soft. She had to continue, despite already guiding her cousin to meet with Mayella.

Well, no need to complain about it. Doesina easily shoved it out of her head. Soon she would be back home with her mother and Sini. She couldn't wait to show more things to the hybrid. The thought brought a smile to her lips and a warm feeling to her cheeks, that was quickly replaced by a laugh as the reins dragging behind her suddenly went slack once more as Arie tried to veer off after something else.

"Arie!" she laughed, turning towards him with fists on her hips, as if he was being an unruly child. All the animal did was turn his head to look at her, snort, and continue biting off the large leaves of the tree he had targeted. "You've already taken off so far off course." Turning around, still laughing, she spied smoke over the trees she hadn't noticed before. Curious, she moved towards it, only to find a very familiar figure sitting by it. "Hello!" she greeted loudly, letting go of the reins, to which Arie took his chance and wandered towards a large bush. "Funny running into you like this, out here. Are you having a cook out?"
