Once the men were gone, Leika scooted out from behind the taller female, looking up at her confused. What was a mission? She wasn't really sure. She had so much to learn regarding her new life as a mage. Since discovering her magic and how she's connected to nature and animals, and since joining Daeva Eye, she's felt more than a little lost and confused by everything new. It was all so overwhelming to the wolf-woman. She glanced up at Kurisa from time to time as they walked together. She was glad she had someone as powerful and kind as her for an ally. But she still couldn't grasp what love, friendship, or family meant. She was alone, and if it weren't for the women of Daeva Eye, she'd have nothing.
She looked curiously at the ferret that poked its head up and spoke. She wasn't very familiar with speaking herself and yet there were talking animals in this world. It astounded her how much existed that she was unaware of previously. When they reached the hotel, Leika felt intimidated by its size and the buzz of people coming and going. She flinched away about to run but was still holding Kurisa's hand and was halted from such actions.
Leika looked around nervously as Kurisa led her to their room. Her nervousness only increased by the woman covering her eyes. Her heart beat faster and her tail went stiff, her hairs bristling in distress. Her ears perked up, twitching as she listened to her surroundings, unable to see where her friend was taking her. She squirmed in protest, breathing heavily as she was guided.
I want it to be a surprise.~ Trust me.
She wanted to, she really did. But trust didn't come easily to someone so used to torture and abuse. She was terrified of what awaited her, but she allowed Kurisa to guide her in faith that a woman who previously helped her, and a member of the same Guild, wouldn't harm her. It didn't make her any less afraid, however, as her ears and tail tip twitched, her body trembling in nervous discourse.
When the Nephilim finally removed her hands, Leika blinked a couple of times, adjusting to the light. Her red eyes widened in surprise of where they were at. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen! Her ears became erect, and her tail started to wag like a happy dog. Bolt stepped through behind them, and looked around, his tiny white tail wagging from side to side. The black and white lightning zebra walked over to a corner and laid down, braying cheerfully.
Leika, in her excitement, stripped out of the dress/robes/long shirt thing that Kurisa had personally created for her to wear and took off running toward the beautiful pool of water. She lunged and landed with a splash. She was smiling like a child in a swimming pool as she splashed around and soaked and played in the natural spring water that flowed in from a mysterious outside source.
