Youko sighed as she looked around the unfamiliar environment, feeling entirely dwarfed by the caverns which she was in. She did not quite know how she ended up here from where she had been, with her mother and father and Lucain-brothers in Idalani, but she knew one thing was certain.
She was lost.
"I told you we shouldn't have wandered too far off, Youko," a voice said sternly. "You know how Father is about you wandering off and getting hurt. He's not going to be happy when he realizes that we've wandered off and left the clan grounds."
This voice belonged to another Placid Paragon, who flicked her fur-tipped tail with a snap and looked to her sister with serious golden eyes.
"Yeah, well, you didn't need to follow me, Norah," Youko snapped, folding her wings against her body. "You've had every opportunity to leap up into the air and fly away, but no, you decided to follow me into this bloody cavern where we can't fly. You've had every opportunity to fly away and go back to Mother and Father, and yet, you stay with me."
The black-and-pale-green Placid gave a stern huff here.
"Yes, I could have left," she said. "If I wanted Father to yell at me for letting you wander off."
