GOODBYE TO A WORLD --- open, joiner

[Keona.]

✯ — female. typhoon. ref. bio.

Keona knows she should not be out here.  Not by herself.  But the petite beta wanted to get a true feel for her home, and she was not one to wait.  Unfortunately, that meant finding herself unsure of where exactly she was.  She had wandered too far this time.  Her stomach fluttered nervously.  She had wanted to sneak back into the bay without her father catching her, though he was bound to already know she was missing; he always had been a large worrywart.

She chewed her lip and turned around, intending to make an attempt at retracing her steps, but not before she caught the scent of someone unfamiliar on the breeze.  Silently, she deduces she is close to the border.... A... Rail road... Something, right?  Flicking her ear, Keona makes a hasty decision to follow the new scent.  If someone was joining maybe, she could accept them and they could help her find her way back.  No wait, joiner won't know the way either.  She huffs quietly as she skidded to a stop in front of the newcomer, too late to turn back now.

Making a guess at height, based on the sound of breathing, the beta tilted her head. She did not have to crane her neck as much as she usually did.  Interesting.  Whoever it was, they were around her father's height then.  Keona breaths in slowly through her nose, opening her mouth, then shutting it, only to open it again, frowning as she wracked her brain for the proper address.  "You... You um..."  She shuffled her paws, ears flattening.  What was said when she and her father arrived?  "... Oh um.  Why here?"
