A dark-hued, rock entrance way with creeping green vines snaking up the sides in unexpected patterns. Perhaps a lone gull crying out overhead in a gloomy sky as the wind whispered through the nearby forest and the waves demanded attention with their rumbling roars below the stark, weather-worn cliffs. Very nice. I'll have t'write that down in my journal once I get a bit o' ink, the leveret nodded dreamily to himself, then realized that the otter was still looking at him expectantly. "Is that what that big buildin' up ahead is, sir?" The seadog nodded. "Well, I suppose it should be obvious from my question that I'm not leavin' there," the rabbit laughed. "I'm not bound anywhere in particular, either, though. My home..." his smile grew a great deal broader and unsettling, "is not a welcome place these past few years. So, I'm a wanderer, you see," the leveret continued more normally, whatever that may mean for one with his head in the clouds. "I'd like t'become a bard someday, but first I have t'find somethin' or someone worth tellin' about. Somethin' like the story o' Rosefoot an' Leechpaw, but I wouldn't mind havin' a sea otter for the hero in my tale." Sage was nodding to himself again, running his paw around the edge of his cup. "Yes. A hero what looks like a villain. Almost like the story o' Deyna, the Taggerung!" Sparkling green met warm brown as the leveret's ears and eyes shot up to lock gazes with the elder woodlander. "Would you mind if I wrote about you in my journal someday, sir?" An electric moment passed, then the rabbit's eyes grew distant again as he added. "Oh! But I suppose I should know your name first. Hah! What a tale that would be without a name for the hero. I'm Sage, most recently o' the Cleefwood Swamp Squirrel tribe. An' you, sir? I should think a home as grand as the one ahead entitles you t'an equally grand name." The compliment, like the insult, was inadvertent and accompanied by an equally oblivious grin.
