✯ — female. snowbound. sand cat. demdji. tags.

Admittedly, Tena had been avoiding the entire world.  Albeit friendly enough, the sand cat had perhaps spent too much time alone.  Too much time taking care of herself, too much time constantly looking over her shoulder, for her to truly grow comfortable.  Perhaps anywhere.  Even more, the young Demdji was perhaps still in denial of her displacement situation.  Everyday that passed was another day she had been apart from her brother.  A brother that had sworn with her, they'd stick together, after moons apart.  Everyday that passed was another day apart from the friends she had made elsewhere.  What did they think happened to her?  She was supposed to have their backs too.

She was alone again.  It hurt more this time, knowing that she had had something before, and now she once again did not.  Numbly, Tena stepped back inside the caves, distinct blue eyes dull and distracted.  Shouldn't she be out, trying to find a way back?  Shouldn't she be trying to send a message? Something?  She had danced this before.  If she made the same choice... If she tried to move on... Was that the right way to go?

The petite desert dweller huffed and grit her teeth.  Fact was, she didn't know where she'd look.  She didn't know how far away she was.  She'd gotten lost after all.  If she waited... Maybe Ebra would find her? Maybe... They were looking for her, weren't they?  Enough.  Time to get out of her shell.  At least, a little.

"… Hey! Meet and greet! I'm Tena."
