Rose: While Being Carried
Written from Rose's internal POV
Even if I had had the ability to speak. Even if I could have moved, or even traveled under my own power, it still would have been quite an interesting journey.
I was passed around every few hours. Trella would speak to me about everything- from the general location of the capitol and the den-cities, to the history of Kyrre's den, the one his father Hichon led before him. She kinda went on and on about all kinds of history of the kitsunes, magic, and customs. Most of it was so boring she's lucky I didn't fall asleep through it. But I digress.
The only times Trella didn't ramble on and on about things I "needed to know" was when she was carrying me herself, or when my eyes stayed closed for long enough for her to realize I had fallen asleep. And I only know that- that she had stopped during those times- because when my eyes would once again flutter open, Sahm or Kyrre would make a little tsk-like sound, and then she'd start up again. Girl just was hard to ignore.
But being... immobile... gives a person enough time alone in their mind to go over a few things. Even while processing dull information about a society one can not yet picture enough to completely comprehend.
I thought about Dragon. And Chazu. The two people- ok, loose use of the word people, but regardless- who have cared most for me since my exposure to the magical world. My guardians- legal, and self-imposed. I had left ANTIE-D a note and some simple instructions. I hope this turns out ok. If not, the kitsunes are going to have more of a problem than they've ever dreamed of- demon realm access nearby or not!
I also wondered about my other friends. I had so many now. And... even my pets. I'd never really left home without some familiar company. The only time I did was because of a nasty spell Uncle Luman put on me- the one that made me blow up Dragon's house, and set off an EMP at Chazu's. And even then, I found Taran and Tuli and Jaa before I got home. I hadn't been alone long then.
So now I had... what, Sahm and Kyrre? I guess the journey isn't completely alone. But they're so silent. They seem to talk to each other without voicing anything. They're keeping me out of something, I just don't know what.
I noticed other things, though. Odd little things that kept my mind from being so bored that I would go insane. Like the way that Sahm and Kyrre's fur felt smooth, like a fur coat, though there wasn't enough to grasp at- had I the ability to grasp. While Trella... just felt soft. Now that is just an uncomfortable thought. I really wouldn't mind if she didn't carry me anymore. Ever. Plus, she isn't built... for carrying people. Most girls aren't.
Where was I? Oh, things I noticed. Right. Sahm smells like some kind of earthy shrub, and Kyrre smells like a tree. Sahm holds me like he thinks he is going to drop me, or is scared of me. Kyrre holds me like a piece of luggage. Granted, its like he thinks I'm a rather precious piece of luggage, but still.
Sahm will look down at me from time to time, especially if Trella's just tried to explain something really quirky or complicated. He seems to want to share his frustration with his cousin a bit more. That's fine by me. I agree with his looks most of the time.
Kyrre looks down at me randomly. But when he does, it isn't to try to share some inside joke. But more like he's trying to figure me out. It's a little creepy, when I think about it. It's like he is trying to read something in my eyes. Maybe decipher who I am inside. He doesn't judge... just watches. His yellow eyes are interesting. I mean, I've known people with green, blue, brown, violet, gray, red, and black eyes. My dad had orange eyes like me. But yellow eyes? Not on anyone. Sure, his hair was blond- how normal. Sahm's was at least orange, but his eyes are green. Yellow eyes. I wonder how normal yellow and orange eyes was among kitsunes.
We just passed some kind of invisible marker again. Either that, or they've been talking while I've been thinking. They're slowing. Last time they slowed it was to eat and nap. But that was at night, and this was the next day. For the life of me I can not remember how many hours Trella said this would last. That, and I have no watch. I don't know how much longer I've got. I hope I can move again soon.
