She’d notice the sun took a much longer time to fall asleep these recent days, though she wasn’t complaining! The very opposite actually, she loved having more time in the day, it gave her more sunlight for her daily search for new secret spot for her prettiest of pretty collection! Recently she tried collecting new bloomed flowers she found to be pretty as the rest of her pile, and because it was so pretty, she gently tucked it away. Though when she made her usual rounds in checking on them, it had wilted! It was very sad, and she mourned the loss of the vibrant petals, however even as the dried, and crinkled up like her nose did when something stinky passed through, she kept it. It wasn’t as bright as before, but it was still pretty, and that was enough for her! Despite that, she refused to pick another, regardless of prettiness, imagining those too would have the same shriveled fate.
By now the day was already over, the sun was down and the sky was giving its final burst of color before turning its usual dark navy blue. She figured by now everyone was making their way to the den if they weren’t already there, which meant she should probably be heading there too; What if they were telling stories without her? Or eating yummy snacks?? She absolutely would not be missing out on snacks and stories!
Her lanky legs would start up in a hasty trot, making a complete b line towards the den until.. well until she wasn’t. Something caught her eye, a familiar glint of a fiery orange that never failed to remind her of the peepings of a waning sun, it was Lugh! It was peculiar to see him by himself, away from Nanna that is. He was always on her heals and when he wasn’t she had no clue where he was and because of that she knew little of the boy that was supposedly their uncle. Illi soon became a brown blur, now excitedly bounding towards the pup, she had so many questions to ask, and he had no heels to hide behind, a perfect opportunity if you asked her.
"LUUGGHHH!" Her voice traveled much faster than her body did, however instead of colliding with the boy, she had a friendly greeting with the dirt, grass and flowers at their feet. It was harder to see at night, how was she supposed to see the rock there?? Illithya was still working on her punctual stops, and seeing as she didn’t run into anybody this time, she was clearly getting better! "Hi Lugh!!" She greeted with passing giggles. It didn’t take her long to find her footing again, shaking at least most of the debris from her fur.
"Whatcha doin? Chasing the star bugs?? You shouldn’t eat them, they’re yucky!" She was quick to answer her own question with a premade conclusion, and give well needed advice from a not so great experience; it had only happened once, and by mistake at that! "I don’t bite, see!" A similar statement she’d use during their first meeting; She was determined to show her harmlessness, so that maybe, hopefully, they could go on adventures with each other and.. and play!
