open, joiners [★] I bet my life

✯ — I TELL YOU THIS STORY, SAVE YOUR LIFE, SET YOU FREE

Sidetracked again.  Perhaps the truth of it was the petite sand cat did not feel the call to return to the tundra as strongly as she had before.  She had not been there long nor known many of the faces.  Not to mention it was not the most comfortable environment, even if she could withstand freezing temperatures.  The desert at night was not like the tundra at night.  Sand and snow.

Tena knew the one who followed her did not mind, though perhaps her change of heart puzzled him still.  She felt a bit like a failure, if she was honest.  Like she did not deserve to return, since she had not been a very useful member anyhow.  What had she ever done for them?  Even when they gave her a place to call 'home'.  You'll never feel at home though, will you?  No matter where you go.

A jedi was less likely to be very attached anyhow and even if Tena tossed him uncertain glances, she realized Lavi would stick by her before he'd think of returning to the snowy lands on his own.  His loyalty still perplexed her.  She chalked it up to the fact traces of his sister had gone dark, and after he'd journeyed with her on an unsuccessful mission to her birth home, he felt he needed to stay with her.  The desert dweller decided that it was no use making sense of the jedi and focus on her new surroundings.

It was all very beautiful here.  The mountains reminded her of a place she'd found moons ago, where one of her own people had found himself as well.  He'd been lost though.  Did not remember the stories she carried in her heart.  He was different now... But there was no use dwelling on the dead.

In the distance she could spot an odd assortment of colors.  A city?  Atop the water?  Tena had never seen or heard of such a thing.  Living on the water was so... Strange.  Her distinct blue eyes narrowed in fascination, paws itching to explore but accepting it'd be rather rude to just waltz down through someone's lands straight into their town.  Better to wait here.  Even if patience was not one of her strong points.
