Chapter 58
Piper wakes up and, at first she is alarmed when she can't smell the usual smell in the air, campfire, Aimsys perfume.
But then she notices strong arms and legs wrapped around her.
"Oh whoah hey, you got close"
Feroc blinks up at her.
"Yeah ? We had sex I don't know what to tell you"
Pipers face burns up and she smiles, loop sided.
"Do you want breakfast ?"
Feroc laughts and kisses her on her cheek.
"Pips you don't even know where everything is, wait I'll come with"
They wiggle out of Ferocs bed and she watches Feroc make...something.
"Is that even edible ?"
Feroc shrugs and scoops a bit of the stuff on both their plates.
It tastes like dissapointment and Piper misses Sirius cookings.
"I have an idea where we can start. With our quest I mean, we need as many fenniks as we can get, supporting the aviants to break free from the humans and to explain what really happend"
Piper nods intently.
Feroc explains how there used to be many fenniks in support of leaving the humans before the war.
There used to be a whole group and Feroc found some of the names when she tried to do research.
"It's gonna be a gamble to see which of these are even still alive. But if we find one that is they could maybe point us to people still trying to do this. Like newly joined members."
Ferocs tail swings from side to side.
Shes exited to start this.
Her compass feels heavy in her bag.
As if it's trying to drag her back to Aimsy.
And like her compass she feels drawn to her.
"The city we are in is called Lypos. You couldnt really see it yesterday but most people here wear the humans clothes. If you wouldn't mind could you put on Aimsys clothes ? I draw enough attention as is but we really don't need more than that"
This stings.
She knew that she didn't bring those clothes for no reason but she hoped she could've kept her clothes for longer.
She takes out Paloma's feather. She doesn't want the indication to be that she would ever buy an aviants feather.
Piper would've thought that if anyone would leave her be as she is it would be Feroc.
She bites her own toungue and follows the Fennik outside.
Lypos is bursting with fenniks going on with their day and Piper looks around, scanning those around her.
They all look a bit like Pearl did when they first met him.
Short, lanky, long dark hair and very well kept clothes.
Feroc was right, she sticks out like a sore thumb.
