Tahira was just beginning to enjoy the conversation with Dahler, having realized that out here, station and class didn’t matter. He began to tell her something, but stopped suddenly. Jumping to his feet, he ran off, leaving the petite blonde rather confused. “Dahler!” She called after him. “What’s wrong? Come back!” She stood, starting after him. She stopped however when she found her cloak laying at the edge of the clearing. Picking it up, she blinked in confusion and returned to spot near the fire. With a wave of her hand, she extinguished it before settling down to try and get a little sleep before setting out again.<br/><br/>She smiled when Kaze reappeared. “Where did you go, my friend?” She asked, stroking his ears affectionately. She gave a small yawn. “It seems we were both up all night. We’ll rest for a bit before heading out again.” With that, she made herself comfortable, pulling the cloak over her to block out the increasing sunshine. Her mind wandered back to Dahler as she fall asleep. This had been her first time talking to him, and she found she really did enjoy his company. ‘I wonder where he ran off too…’ She thought sleepily. ‘I would’ve liked it if he’d travel with me…’<br/><br/>After a few hours’ rest, and a good meal, Tahira set out with Kaze once more. She sighed deeply as she walked through the heavy foliage. “I wonder why Dahler ran off like that…” She commented. She looked down at her wolf companion. “I enjoy your friendship, Kaze…but I can’t converse with you. Last night was the first time I’ve had a conversation since leaving home to save my brother. It was…nice…” A content smile settled over her features as she continued on her way.
