"LARKSPUR! BALTHAZARRRRR!" Reed shouted their names at the top of her lungs as she crashed through the tall grasses that created a makeshift barrier between the sea and the forest. She had news! "LARKSPUR!" she bellowed again as she leapt over a sand dune, lost her footing in said sand, fell forward on her chest, and promptly sprung back up to continue her full speed sprint towards their small community area. "BALTHAZAR!" she yelled again, darting into their shared hut to search for him. Usually he was asleep during the day. Perhaps, though, he'd stepped out for some reason or another.
"Larkspur! Are you here?" Reed swung her body around to search the rest of the area, completely oblivious to the brown wolf as they laid upon the sands with their snake. Instead, Reed rushed to the area where Larkspur worked when staying in the area. Her nose fell to the ground and she sniffed and snorted. Larkspur had definitely been here. Her head shot back up as she heard a squawk from her familiar, Pip. Her ringneck parrot flew at her, beating its wings in her face, and Reed giggled. "What? What is it, Pip?" Her bird flapped at her face once more for good measure, then turned and flew out towards Larkspur's direction.
Reed watched and suddenly the figure of her friend became apparent. "Larkspur!" she yelled again as she bounded over to them. "You won't believe what I've heard!" She slid to a halt, sending sand flying through the air, and forced herself to remain in a sit as her butt wiggled with excitement. A downside of having little tail to wag. "There's this giant thing and it's roaming the lands and there's gonna be others who are gonna try to catch it or something and there might be fighting and maybe a war and ohmygoshLarkspurWEHAVETOGOSEEWHATITIS!" It was only then, when she actually looked at her friend, that she realized she was interrupting a meal. "OH, um, are you busy? By the way, have you seen Balthazar?"
