Jinju
Lately she found it difficult to rest at night. Something kept her up, her mind spinning as her thoughts never let her alone for a moment. Napping during the day turned out to be much easier. It left her to wander at night. Sometimes patrolling the border and during other times her legs would just carry her somewhere. To not have to wander alone was a welcomed difference.
The Taiga had been her home for so long now, she would almost dare to say that she would still be able to walk through the thick redwood trees being blind. Jinju had gotten to know each and every corner of their forest. But she gladly lightens up the path for her visitor, her companion for the night.
Small fires ignite above their heads, floating in the air for a moment before Jinju pushes them forward. One stays close to them, as the other two go a little ahead, showing the path they are to take. The black woman bends her neck a little to look back across her shoulder, her lips curling up slightly as their gazes meet. Her tail sways again, this time in his direction, though with a bit less force. Perhaps as in a silent challenge. How far would he go, with his attempts to catch her tail?
Her soft laugh breaks the silence around them, where he tried to not disturb it. ”You want to see the forest, but you come at night when it’s pitch black?” she questions him, the laugh still in his voice but never meant to humor him. Jinju is genuinely curious. Yes the forest looked great a night, and with her little makeshift lights he would be able to see something, but it was not daytime. She’s careful to not let them too close. Though it wouldn’t hurt her, Warrick does not know that.
”You’re right. Beqanna has too much to offer to stay in one place all your life. I would like to travel and visit some of the other lands too, soon I hope” she answers with a slight nod. She simply agreed with him. With the fire showing their way she leads him towards the river. Fresh and cool from the mountains, where the snow melted and on its way down the little stream grew into this river. ”We can follow it for a while, if you like?”
