the woman was new to living in a group setting. well, she was new to a non-family setting, really. the idea of a new home was strange. the lovely okapi would stroll throw the camp on near silent feet. each step was careful. not a blade of grass killed under foot. she was not one to take the life of anything without cause. so, even the bugs under her were safe from her footfalls.

she would finally find herself an empty home. this was another first for her. the woman liked the idea of a house to herself, but she was also not to sure of it. she had always had family with her. the woman stepped through the door and froze. could she do this? she had no clue. the woman would step further inside and look back over her shoulder.

"i should really clean this place up some." she mused a moment. it was going to take some time, but at least she would have her own space to work with.
