Luna seemed to check he wasn’t around before answering quietly, some sympathy in her voice “He goes away for hours. Sometimes with blood all over him, sometimes clean. I just wonder what he does all the times he comes home clean, after being away for so long.”
(Lol no problem, and ok, good. I didn’t want to interfere.) Xylo lead her to the woods, not taking her hand in case she would be uncomfortable with others seeing the two holding hands. He didn’t see her that confident in what they were doing to do that yet, and he would let her choose when that was. When they reached a clearing, he asked simply “Workout? Or something else?”
"That's interesting," Persepolis pondered this new information. She didn't know what to make of it. "Maybe it's best we don't know." She decided.
River walked after him. Listening.
Luna remembered when she found these with her mother. How excited she was every time. That same sentiment returned now, as she smiled before kneeling down to pick some. She reminisced “I remember when I could pick these up standing up. The bush was taller than me.”
Xylo suggested simply “Well, we can continue our walk then work out some when we start coming back if you want. There’s a nice waterfall I know about up ahead, if you’d like to take a look at it.”
"I remember picking these too, as a kid" Persepolis recalled. "I always got pricked by the thorns" She chuckled, remembering.
River nodded. "That sounds good." She glanced behind her as a loud, strong howl filled the air. It was a howl from the alpha male to bring together hunters to hunt. Slash must have picked up the scent of deer. She thought. A smirk played at her lips. She was getting better at understanding animals.
Luna continued the joint reminiscing session by adding “And I’d pick like thirty of them, but by the time I came home I had eaten them all. And my stomach hurt.” She chuckled some at the memory, adding softly “Those days were nice, nothing to worry about except friends and learning how to fly.” She used telekinesis to pick a berry and wave it in front of Persepolis’ face with a smirk on her face.
