Imani didn't reply, just sighed. After a few moments, Imani looked up to the sky. "Long story."

[Iri]

"Sorry," Jahzara said in a small voice.

[Kipekee]

"It's okay." Imani looked back to Jahzara and smiled.

[Iri]

Jahzara smiled back, but something was nagging at the back of her mind. Imani seemed so sad after she had asked her admittedly thoughtless question. Had something happened to her?

[Kipekee]

Imani climbed down the tree, and then lay down underneath it.

[Iri]

Jahzara looked at her for a minute before curling up, her tail wrapping around her haunches.

[Kipekee]

Imani was staring at Jahzara in her peripheral vision, finding her to be quite pretty. She sighed, looking away.

[Iri]

"You okay?" Jahzara murmured, making sure her voice was audible but not too loud.

[Kipekee]

Imani looked up at her. "Yeah." She flicked her ears toward her. "Why?"

[Iri]

"Oh, you just seemed kind of down..." Jahzara said.
