After everyone had been hauled out of the dining area, Darla moved
to offer a hug to Wylith. "You did good, Wyl. What a welcome, huh? I
guess we should get out of the way now, and find somewhere to sleep..."
She felt dirty, tired, and even hungry. But, since Sarilyn and
Lunath were already off having fun with their new friends, Darla realized
she was on her own, and alone. Shrugging, she crawled up, and strapped in.
"Come on, let's find a quiet place to be alone....we're not here anyhow...."
Wylith took to the air, with a confused reply (( But of course we
are here. I don't understand... ))
{{ Nevermind, Wyl. It's too hard to explain. Land by the lake,
please, near those trees... }}
They landed, and Darla dismounted, moving underneath a couple of
the biggest trees, Wylith curled up nearby. The young woman flopped down
underneath the one of the trees, brought her knees to her chin, and sighed
sadly.
"Such is life, I guess," she said to herself, "I hate it here
already..." She stretched out, rolled over onto her stomach, put her head
on her arms, and cried herself to sleep...only to wake up, unable to
completely relax, and start crying again.
