She had been traveling alongside Yoshi. Finding someone of their native tongue… it was like a heavy relief that rolled off her shoulders. Aika felt like if she trailed too far, she'd get lost once more. A horror that keeps replaying. It bugged her. She thought maybe she did something to deserve such an outcome.


But what?


She took time to travel away from Yoshi, temporarily, using the time to try and gather her thoughts together. What made her a victim to being lost? Why couldn't she remember routes she came? Would she ever learn how to properly navigate?


Aika swore once she was home again she wasn't even going to swim out for days.


Homesickness struck her hard. Wanting nothing more than Fujiwara back in her grasp. Truthfully, she only hoped… none of her other clanmates suffered the same.


The silvered canid had her head up to the sky, rump on the soft ground. Nitpicking at the stars, a soft exhale as she wondered how far everyone was. Where they in the grasp? Or were they forever out of reach like the stars?

She sat there for a while before she eventually shrugged the emotions off. Leaning to try and figure out where in the stars she left... Yoshi. Getting lost again would be marvelous huh? Unbeknownst to her, she was approaching a different.. silver wolf. Cooing out gently, as her eyes went to seek her traveling companion. Yoshi?
