Snippet #2675866

Kayla gave Dante a rather awkward wave as they left, just to be polite. As soon as they stepped out the door, though, she sighed in relief. "I guess I should have overestimated when you told me he was friendly." She mused. She loosened up as they headed into the woods. Fenrir's suggestion made her crack a faint smile. Despite the rush they were in, a run through the forest was going to clear her head. As she began to see the trees growing closer together, she began to run faster. "I'll be up here." She called as she dashed up to an oak.

She took a quick jump, propelling herself off the ground and onto the tree trunk. Her hands grasped the bark and she scaled up to reach the branches. She then proceeded to swiftly leap to the neighboring branches. Her eyes rapidly scanned the approaching branches, assessing their thickness and the spaces between them. Once she had gotten a good start, she pushed off a branch and flipped forward. In a matter of seconds, her body shifted to that of a wolf's. Her clothes gave off a dull, golden glow as they warped and merged into the asphodel pin on her waistcoat, which then jumped to her left ear in a flicker of light. The glimmer faded to reveal a small, brass cuff earring. Large paws hit the neighboring branch with ease. Bright white fur flickered through the thick green leaves as Kayla continued to dart from tree to tree. While her form was large, it was lithe and well-balanced. She continued to race through the woods, her paws delicately touching the branches and her gaze now focused on the train station ahead.
