BEATRICE
[thank you!! and nice job everyone else!! <3]
The announcement found its way to her via messenger. She had been sitting underneath a tree, chocolate-colored eyes appearing far off. Bluebird song wreathed around her. Some darker tune rested on the forefront of her mind, playing on an endless loop. She sat in an almost trance-like state, unmoving, unblinking, until the messenger rattled her with a mighty shake.
Their speech was quick - they had places to be -, but she caught the words easily. Something akin to trepidation ignited in her being, and Beatrice tried to shake it off. She told herself that whatever happened, happened. Her tryout for the Sage position hadn't been the best - she'd somehow managed to mix up tansy, marigold, and yellow daises. The herbs she brought forward had been crushed, and she had almost been late too. Though her hopes weren't high at all, she figured she needed to show her face and take the letdown like a champ.
The canine entered the Deep Sea Dome slowly. Her fictional eyebrows furrowed in thought. It had been a long time since she sat foot in the meeting area. Picking her way closer to Rosemary, Fischer, and Junji, the cattle dog chose to near the middle of the room. Red ears angled forward to listen to Rosemary's call. When the words registered in her mind, a shocked expression marked her features. Her? Promoted? "Thank you, Rosemary. I... I'll try not to let you down." She allowed the faintest of smiles to lace its way onto her lips before she stepped forward to drink the juice.
Though its taste wasn't the best, she didn't care. She was proud of herself. Maybe she could start doing something right now. For a flicker of a moment, she felt a twinge of darkness seep into her heart, but she ignored it. There was no time for that. "Congratulations to everyone else too, I suppose," she added only after Fischer and Junji had praised everyone else.
