Out in the World

[66_seals]

There have been a lot of decisions to make lately.

What to eat, what to wear . . .

So many choices.

Eenie, meenie, minie, moe, catch a toddler by her toe. If she hollers . . .

Well, that's kind of the point, isn't it?

But there comes a time to put away childish things and get down to business.

And that time is now.

It's a clearing in the woods, unremarkable in any way.

Except, of course, for being the site of the meeting it is about to witness.

Lilith walks slowly around a tree that would be old, compared to something other than her, trailing the fingers of one hand along the bark, eyes either unfocused . . . or focused on something only she can see.

There's a soft crunching sound of boots upon leaves. If Ruby really wanted to be quiet, she would've managed to do so without a hitch.

"Feels nice, doesn't it?"

It's said plainly, softly, and with an afterthought of mild amusement.
