That blizzard lasted all night long, and I'm not regretting the extra coin I spent on the tent. "This damn snow is too deep! How are you not tired of clearing the path?!" My silent laugh flutters up from my stomach. She's strong, but trudging through deep snow can be considered brutal exercise. I'm unaffected from exhaustion due to my stats.
It'll take a lot to make tired, and carving a walkable path isn't going to be the thing that does in. "You tired already? We've only been walking for an hour. We still have more than a day till we reach the city my brother is in." She releases a long and deep groan of what I'd call begrudging acceptance. I know what it sounds like cause I made plenty of them in my life.
The trip is going according to schedule. It's just nobody likes to travel in the cold. Even though it's not snowing, it's still not warm enough to make the snowlt. It's staying at the perfect cold temperature for it to remain fluffy and in high volu. "Don't patronize , miss iron warrior... I'd not brag so much if I were you!" The wording a playful tone remind of mom.
Before our major conflicts, we were so close. I learned sarcasm from her and used it to annoy and make her laugh. One of the best mories I had before we started going down that dark road. "Sorry, sorry... Next ti I'll make sure to buy a backpack that'll fit you and Erald. That way, you won't have to work so hard." The glare on the back of my head makes my hair stand up.
Erald pops her head out of the backpack I'm lugging around and lets out a w of energy. She's getting bigger every day, and she's starting to outgrow the backpack. "Very funny, Hailey... When that cat can't fit anymore, will we be riding it to our destinations?" Erald has a long ti before she's fully grown, but when she is. She'll be my ans of transport.
Erald lets out a cute hiss towards Jasmine behind . Erald doesn't like the thought of outgrowing her backpack. If it were up to her, she'd be the sa kitten I found her as. She prefers to be carried and pampered, but those days of sitting in my lap and falling asleep are quickly coming to an end. She's getting pretty heavy even now.
The worst part about traveling is traveling. Covering the large distances between two places, The Ancients World is unreasonably large. Gaia is more true to its na now. Other players and I refer to Gaia as The Ancients World from ti to ti. "That's up to Erald. I'm not going to force her to carry us. I'm not cruel." I feel Erald's tongue licking my neck and purrs coming from behind .
Jasmine is on Erald's good side, but she isn't so liked that she'd let Jasmine ride on her. Magical beasts usually only permit their owners to ride on them. Anyone else is rejected, even if the owner is there. "I need to get a magical beast... At least one that I can ride! My feet are frozen, and they hurt!!" Sotis, I wonder if I complain as much when it cos to certain things.
I'm sure I do, but I like to think of myself above that. When in reality, no one is. Everyone has sothing they complain about more often than anything else in their lives. "Who knows, maybe Erald will find a partner one day and have kittens. It'll take so convincing, but she might let you have one." Jasmine straight out laughs at the notion. Hey, you never know.

~~~(Ti: 9:31 AM)
Sally shifts under the sheets, and her bare skin clings on mine. The play last night caused a lot of emotions in Sally that she wasn't expecting, and we decided to co back to the room. She cried and stopped, then did so more crying. Eventually, we both got tired enough to sleep. Hailey should be arriving either today or tomorrow. I never expected her to take this long.
The trip here wouldn't be as easy for her. I can fly. She can't. Since we're all going to be traveling together once they get here, I'll also have to stop flying. Carrying 3 people isn't sothing I want to do. There isn't enough room on my body. "Today is another day that we don't have any plans other than to wait..." Speaking to myself isn't sothing I often do.
Personally, it makes feel crazy. It's one of those things I do only when the conversations in my head are reaching a level that one of them has to co out. "So that ans we have today to ourselves again?" To my surprise, a half-asleep Sally replies to my pondering. She lifts herself out of the blankets and hangs over . Smiling subtly and eyes still not fully open.
Sally has gone through more in her life than I could ever imagine, and she's confided all her secrets, fears, and doubts in . I don't see them as weaknesses, and I don't see her any differently. "I've had a dream... We were in a canoe... Floating down a gentle stream... It felt so real..." The side of my lip raises in slight amusent. I'd love to have a dream like that.
All I dread about were those damn fish and how I couldn't catch a single fucking one. "I'm a little jealous, Sally... All I dread about were stupid fish..." Her face instantly gets red as she lets out a huge laugh. I'm glad that my damaged pride as a man can bring such a genuine laugh. She wipes away mock tears and leans fully up. No longer hanging over .
I sit up myself and look at her. Her beauty captures every ti I look at her. "That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my entire life! I've never heard of such a dream before!" My ego shrinks in the face of such blatant observations, and I suppose it's actually good. I don't want my ego to be that big or big in general. Plus, it's good to see this after last night.
She finally calms down and looks at with an intoxicating smile and a squint that would make any man stutter in his thoughts. "What do you suppose we do today? The festival is over, and my sister isn't here yet... While battling in a dungeon sounds fun, none around here provide a challenge for ." There are so on the other side of the dungeon.
Ones that reach a level requirent of 200 . aning I don't even qualify to go in, and that's not sothing that I've encountered on our trip yet. "Well... If I could suggest sothing..." She looks down at her hands and fiddles with them. Lifting her eyes for permission to ask. I nod that she can tell . I don't know why she's asking for permission.
That's out of character. She knows she can talk to about anything. "Mind if we get a canoe and take a lazy stroll down one of the many rivers around here..." Hmm... That dream must've been really good. Wanting to try it out in real life. I don't see the problem. "It's okay if you don't want to... It's pretty inconvenient..." My... So quick to dismiss... Strange...
I scoot a little closer, and I place my arm around her shoulder. She isn't telling sothing, but she must have a good reason. "That sounds like an excellent idea, and the sooner we get out there. The longer we can enjoy the clear weather for now." She lifts her head with a small smile, a light shade of red dusting her cheeks. Quite cute.
