Spiderlily was still missing after all, the world was still broken.

But these hills were nice, relaxing, wide open spaces...Penny broke the silence with his anxious question, the girl flicking her ears in response and hummed in thought for a moment.

You just need more practice she tried to make her voice more...sympathetic, more like Spider and his way of making everything seem like it was going to be ok. It was absolutely far from their uncle's way of speaking, but it was less monotone than usual! Stop and smell the wind, what's out there right now?

She could smell rabbits, a herd of deer, and a strong scent of some sort of big cat wafting in from those red trees in the distance that she wanted to stay far away from.

But could he?
