DEAR FRIEND as you know, your flowers are withering
your mother's gone insane, your leaves have drifted away.
but the clouds are clearing up
and i've come reveling, burning incandescently,
like a bastard on the burning sea.

While half of the purpose for visiting had sort of been defeated by Aurum and Moth's own at their ally several days ago, the tigress still was set on visiting the swamp her girlfriend came from. It seemed such a funny image to the female, to think of such a pretty, clean thing walking through the mud to get around. The sand on their shores was certainly much more agreeable. Still, she was interested to see what all Tanglewood had to offer, and she thought it might be nice, to introduce herself to strangers and perhaps old friends alike. When she'd been captain, she'd been the one to initiate the partnership between the two groups, and the tigress had been quite involved in it for the entirety of her time as leader. But, she couldn't remember any of that now, and she'd just gotten to build up the strength it would take to make the journey between the two territories. She'd not ventured so far ever since waking up from her head injury, but the thought of it did make her excited. There would be so many new things to see and experience! And now that she had her camera, she could document all of it. She was sure the Tanglers would have plenty of their own interesting wildlife to spot.
The female had been a little hesitant at first bringing up the idea of visiting Tanglewood to Sophie. Not that she was hesitant on the idea of going in itself, but she simply didn't want to make the other feel obligated to help her get there. She didn't necessarily need to go yet, and even if she did, she could find someone else to escort her if the feline didn't want to. But, the other had insisted, said that only she would feel comfortable doing it if they were to go. And so, she wouldn't argue. She trusted the other, and while she could feel that anxiety tug at her stomach as they stepped past the gate to the unknown, she kept her focus on her surroundings, and Sophiea. It wouldn't be long before she grew distracted from the silent fear to focus on the exciting new world around them, pulling out her camera to take pictures of the most colorful birds and plants they spotted, conversing with her partner, and simply observing along the small journey, taking it all in.
And, thankfully, nothing bad happened along the way. There was no scent of the Coalition, no vision of the woman that'd gotten so close to killing her just a few weeks prior, and no other hiccups - not even a headache. A slight dizziness, here and there, when she'd moved too much too quickly, but it was nothing sitting down and drinking some water wouldn't take care of. All in all, Goldenluxury Roux was feeling better than she has since waking up, and this would put her in a good mood. Being around Sophiea only helped with this, too, her eyes trailing along the other as she walked ahead. And soon enough, they'd reach a point in which the scent of Tanglewood begin to nip at their noses, and the female's pace would speed up, brushing up against her girlfriend excitedly, glancing towards her. She adjusts the camera held around her neck, using a paw to click a few pictures, before shifting the bag on her shoulder to a more comfortable position and clearing her throat. "Hello," she'd call out in a nervous, but excited tone. "M' name's Goldenluxury Roux, or Goldie."
Though as she spoke, she could feel that sense of dread start to settle in her, ever so slightly. The last time she'd been here...it was before she'd hit her head. She'd been vaguely told of the time, how she'd been locked up. Ninazu's words "Should’ve let you bleed out in the Tanglewoods," rang through her mind, causing her excited expression to falter. She lets out a quiet huff, shaking her head. The female couldn't even recall what'd exactly happened, so why did she have to feel this way? She shifts her body, pressing into Sophiea a bit closer. They would be fine. Everything was fine. She was here to make friends.

NOTHING'S EVER LOST FOREVER, IT'S JUST HIDING IN THE RECESS OF YOUR MIND AND WHEN YOU NEED IT, IT WILL COME TO YOU AT NIGHT. I MISS THE YELLOW. I MISS THE YELLING AND THE SHAKEDOWN. I'M NOT COMPLAINING, NO, I GOT A BETTER SET OF KNIVES NOW. I MISS MY DRUMMER, MY DEAD STEPBROTHER, AND THE PIT CROWD. AND CHUCK AND MATTY - IF THEY COULD SEE ME THEY'D BE SO PROUD.
