Tahira sighed deeply as she stopped to res later that day. It was early afternoon and she felt a little tired after two days with little sleep. “We’re going to rest a few moments, Kaze.”  She informed the black wolf before settling down at the base of a large tree near a winding river.<br/><br/>Sighing happily, the blonde leaned her head back and closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the sun on her skin. Reaching out, her hands found the cloak she had been letting Dahler use at night. She pulled to close to her before opening her eyes and looking at Kaze. “I’ve decided something, my friend.” She announced to her companion. “Tonight, I have to tell Dahler the truth. I’m afraid I’ve been dishonest with him, and I have to set things right. I only hope he doesn’t think I’m a horrible person.” She wanted to tell him she was sorry for how she treated him when they were both back in their home village. She hoped he would understand her reasoning, and continue to act as her friend.<br/><br/>She shifted her gaze to the nearby river, and smiled. She was quite at ease in and around water, and suddenly realized that a bath would be quite refreshing. Glancing around their surroundings, she noticed the area was very secluded. Standing, she started for the river, removing her clothing as she went. “I’m getting a bath, Kaze.” She said as she slipped in. “Don’t peek.” She laughed. It was quite silly to think a wolf would peek at her as she bathed.<br/><br/>After soaking for some time, she climbed out and redressed, feeling much better. She returned to her seat at the base of the tree. “I think I’m going to sleep a while…if Dahler comes, wake me up.” It was still some time before sunset, but she was tired. She slept peacefully until after sunset, waking to find Kaze gone one more. Starting a fire, she decided to eat something, having not eaten since early that morning.
