" She offered a smile, swishing her tails. At the mere mention of food, Luma's spirit brigfhtened tremendously, and her step turned into a bounce. " Yes, certainly. That'd be fantastic right about now. "
The flaming color of her pelt flashed as Illumina tossed her head back. She giggled and said to Xerxes, " Race you!

It must have been the effect of the berries she'd consumed just before she'd made her way down. Illumina paused, giving herself a moment to calm, and turned, trotting back to Xerxes. " Sorry, " a steady blush was flooding into her cheeks, " I've finished now. " The daeet blinked and pricked her ears, alert for the sound of anyone or anything lurking about.
" So, " she murmured, looking up to her companion again, the blush still hot on her cheeks.
" How's life? "
