Day 31st of Spring, 514 AV
It had been another one of those days... Dreary, gray, all around weather that brought a kind of gloom to the atmosphere no one could escape from. Reven realized this venturing out into the early morning air, making her usual rounds around the Sanctuary to cover its security. It had been raining then, wetting her fur, causing her to smell like a wet dog when she returned back to the suite she shared with her bondmate.
It had been another one of those mornings where she wanted to do nothing but stayed curled to his side, basking in the pleasant warmth through not only his being but the bond as well. The two had not been bonded long but already, they were inseparable. Reven would have liked nothing more than to keep him locked in his room, away from the dangers of the world and on a level, she felt he hinted at that desire as well, but the two knew that could not happen.
The cougar found herself wrapped in furs come mid morning. Reven didn't feel compelled to return to the world of the living and instead, wanted to remain in the dark shadows of her mate's room even though he already left for his daily chores. Depression. That's what she felt. It was the emotion that loomed over her without fully presenting itself yet the Kelvic never knew. Constantly, the argument between her and Mutaldi, he caretaker, repeated over in her mind, pulling her into a sea of dark thoughts that threatened to drown her. Reven tried desperately to curb these thoughts with sleep but even that was now proving difficult.
With a sigh, she slid out of the furs and took time clothing herself. She would find something to do today, whether it was chores or some form of hunting. Dressing in her cotton pants and leather jacket, Reven grabbed her backpack, quiver with arrows, and short bow before venturing out of Vanator's room. Moving out of the Within and to the above facility, the feline went first to the Kitchen to find the other Kelvic cat, Cadra. Her orange, red hair fluttered about her shoulders as she went away cooking food.
Reven paused, waiting for Cadra to become aware of her presence. When the girl's youthful gaze fell onto the cougar's, Reven smiled.
“Reven!” Cadra returned with her own lips curved up in greeting. “Good morning, how did you sleep?”
“Um... Well. It helps having your...” She paused before finishing her sentence. “It helps having Van there. I was wondering if you've seen your brother.”
“Larik? I think he went out with Kavala, but I'm not too sure.” Cadra seemed unfazed. “Why, are you going hunting?”
Nodding, Reven reached for a piece of fruit that sat in a wooden bowl. It was an apple and with glee, the Kelvic bit into it before speaking. “I might just go out alone then. Not sure if I feel like waiting for him.”
Cadra shook her head. “I don't think it's safe to go out by yourself, maybe you should ask Van.”
Reven waved her away, leaving the Kitchen with haste. “Thank you Cadra, I'll be back.” The cougar called behind her, hearing the young girl huff. It made the Kelvic chuckle...
And so, she pushed her legs toward the horse gates, waving to Aweston as he peered out at her over a horse he was grooming. Reven hated those animals... always so fidgety around her and gave her more grief than stability or fun. Maybe on this dreary day, however, she would find some entertainment in the Fringe Forest. The bond beckoned for her to stay but the Kelvic wanted some freedom away from this place and need more practice with her bow.
