| a h the lovely feeling of freedom! wind in your hair, sun at your back, and possibility ahead of you. maya pulled her notebook and compass from her hip pack. last she noted her bearings, she was on the edge of nemus. she left early that morning, and now the sun was at its zenith, shining bright and warm. she wished she had her bike and camper, the trek would be so much fun if she could have just brought it first thing! darn those sporadic shuttle drops. she was feeling impatient. maya didn’t let it affect her good mood though. brown eyes scanned the notebook, at the rate she was traveling she guessed she would be about two clicks west. nothing had really changed – the trees were more sparsely placed, but larger. she flicked her compass as the arrow whirled around in circles. what was it about the gravitational fields on this planet? maya sighed in frustration, twice now she had gone in the wrong direction because the compass was acting up. once she was sure she was still headed west, she continued on. this was her first trip alone – she hadn’t been here long enough to meet anyone that felt the need to explore. why was everyone content to just sit in civilization? did they not realize where they were? there was an entire PLANET to be uncovered, so many things that were yet to be learned. maya wanted to discover every secret it had to offer, good or bad. she imagined she was on that movie “journey to the center of the earth”, at least they kinda knew what they were doing. maya removed her flannel, tying the sleeves around her waist. she was dropped right after the scorch ended, so luckily she never had to hide in the mountains. oh, that would have killed her! it was still warm, and she wondered how anyone could have survived anything more intense than the heat that beat down on her now. she stopped for a moment to re tie her boot, admiring the tree she chose to lean on. earth was as good as gone, and this new world was wild and full of amazement. if only she had someone to experience the views with! |

bottle up the rain;
Go where the wind blows-
let it show the way. | It was a difficult spot he'd put himself in, taking on the appearance of the aliens in order to better understand them, at the cost of the understanding of his family. His brother had been most displeased, to the point that Qën hadn't spoken to him since before the hot season started. It tore at him every time he thought of it, and so he coped by... not. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and wandered aimlessly, his feet eventually always turning him towards home. Each time he caught himself, he redirected.
He kept nearly running into the newcomers (why were so many of them out and about right now?), so Qën had accepted that his wandering was going to have to be done on two legs. It wasn't terrible, and probably a little more precaution than was absolutely necessary, but with the number of his kind he'd seen turned into pelts.. He wasn't taking any chances.
It was so quiet where he was in the forest that he would've missed the woman had his nose not told her she was there. A step and a half past her, he came to a halt and turned on his heels toward her. For a moment, all he did was eye her, as if determining if she should be considered a threat. But she looked rather.. innocent, so instead of taking any drastic measures (such as running away), he smiled - quite proud of himself that he no longer looked like he was seizing when he did it - and said, voice a little gruff from not having spoken for the past couple of days, "Hi."
Still not 100% natural, he forgot that generally that word was followed up with others, or that a hand was extended. Looking down at the appendage now, he swung it up towards the female belatedly, keeping his smile even if it faltered. Hopefully she'd just take it and let him move along, or at least not delve into intense conversation the way the one with yellow hair did. He was making progress, but he doubted he'd ever be up to par with words that came at him that fast.
