[partialities]

I ought to confess.

This little planet does unsettle me so and why, I cannot explain.

And yet, I have spent far too many days inside and so -

I do very dearly wish for an escort for a short walk outside.

Mayhaps I shall learn to love it, despite it all, we ought not insist on being unhappy, after all.

I saw your text post. I'll go down with you if you want?

[partialities]

Have you been outside already, Kara?

[ she sits up, puts aside her needlework and gestures for her to come sit with her. there is a weariness there that is not quite like her, she is usually the one who wishes so to venture outside. ]

What do you think of it?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't know. It has a weird vibe to it?

Why haven't you gone out?

[partialities]

I have seen a terrible shadow above the trees when I walked out once. It was already dark but I could see it clearly, it had the look of a terrible beast.

[ a demon, truly but she doesn't say it; she worries too much about showing such weakness ]

I feared it is an omen of a sort. Mayhaps that forest is dangerous.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe. But it'll be definitely safer if you go out with me. We could go when it's lighter?

[partialities]

We shall - I do trust I shall fear nothing in your company.

[ she pets her hand, smiles a bit ]

Not even the great beast shall scare me. Have you seen it? it is quite a frightening sight.

[takingkarabusiness]

I haven't. Tell me about it?

[partialities]

It was a shadow shaped like a beast, a terrible dark hound of a kind only - much larger and it loomed over the woods.

[ a terrible omen, if there ever was one, so her grandmother would say. ]

I could not look at it for long.
