There it was! The scent was unmistakable! Nefili was around here somewhere, and Ro absolutely needed to find him! "Nef!! Nef, can you hear me?!" She howled every few seconds or so, desperate for the male to return the call. His perfume weighed thick in the air, almost as if he were right by her side, which honestly only infuriated the muddied yearling more! Why wasn't he visible?! "N-Nef!! N..Nef?" The Andromeda sighed, was this all in her head? Had she somehow managed to misconstrue a scent that belonged to someone else? No, there was absolutely no way she was wrong on this one, right? But why wasn't he answering?

"Nefili! Are you there?!" She cried one last time. And what would you know? Moments later she actually received a response! Though it wasn't from who she'd expected, no, this was.. Singing? The yearling could of sworn she'd just heard singing! But from who'm? "H-Hello?" Excitement quickly faded into a sense of dread. If someone were around right now, and it wasn't Nef, then why weren't they approaching her? Why were they just.. Singing? "T-This is... Eerie! If you're messing with me, Nef, So h-help me!" Ro's stomach twisted into knots, suddenly the song picked back up. "W-Who's there?! Leave me alone!"  

One moment she's begging for celestial beings to leave her the hell alone, and the next she's practically shoved onto the ground below. Could this be the work of a poltergeist? "Aaagh! No!! I'm sorry!!" The fae screeched, trying to steady her legs before inevitably tumbling over. Her eyes grew wide almost instantaneously, she had to find the culprit before it could further injure her. But what was there waiting for her wasn't a spirit at all! "N-Nefili?!"

Sheer terror turned into overzealous bliss in practically a seconds notice! "I thought y-you were a ghost!! Where have you been?! A-and how did you get your voice to sound like that earlier? I-I mean don't get me wrong, it was extremely impressive, b-but that was a lousy prank! You know I have issues with paranormal stuff!" She giggled. Boy was it good to see them again. "I missed y-you, It's been a really stressful week." with a sigh, the yearling decided to shut her maw and let the tawny Valley wolf answer her questions, even though she still had so much more to say.

The fact that her beloved friend had no idea what she was referring to was enough to make the poor yearling's skin crawl, however with how easy it was for him to shrug it off and move on to the next topic, Ro decided that for now it'd probably be best to write it off as something dumb and just enjoy the moment for what it was. Hey, maybe the guy honestly just had a real knack for singing or something! Right?

"I thought the same thing! It's so dark and scary here! But I knew I'd be alright once I got a whiff of ya'!" She smiled, though the statement was a lie. Once Ro caught the smell of Nefili's perfume weighing heavy in the air, she began to panic. Partly because he wasn't immediately visible, partly because he was the only wolf she'd ever felt comfortable enough to be herself around, and he'd been gone for too damn long. At the time, she wasn't alright. She didn't think she was going to be alright either, but those were just little details in the grand scheme of things.

"Oh, Uhh.." The fae had honestly completely forgotten about all of that already. Oh the perks of adrenaline. She briefly checked all limbs and extremities before giving the friend a light head shake. "I'm fine! Are you?"

It was comforting knowing that all seemed well with her dear friend, though something was still.. Off. He then suggested that they perhaps keep on going with their travels for a bit, but the fae could only just barely understand why. He seemed so tired, so why not just rest here? Perhaps he had been just as spooked out by their previous experience as she had. It'd sure be understandable. Back at Apparition Swamp young pups were raised under the belief that ghosts couldn't hurt you, so why was it that Rosalind always felt otherwise? Sure, she could blame it on her anxiety, but the young raven liked to believe that maybe she was just smarter than the others back home. Like perhaps she had a sixth-sense for that kind of thing, or something.

"Yeah, no.. I'm not tired at all." She smiled. Traces of adrenaline were still evident enough throughout her body to keep her going, and sleep hadn't come easy for the fae since departing from her home anyways. Maybe sleep deprivation was just growing accustom to her by now. "We can definitely keep going. But you gotta tell me what you've been up to since we've last seen each other!" Tail wagging, the yearling began to walk once more.

'Mostly looked for me..?' The fae smiled to herself. That worked both sides, she had been searching for him too, a little more eagerly than she had with the wolves on her fathers list in fact. It felt nice, being missed. Rosalind couldn't help but then wonder if there were others that missed her, like the family she was forced to abandon for instance. Blah, none of that actually mattered though, did it? Not now. Maybe not ever, even. 'But still.. It'd be nice if someone sought me out someday..' With a small sigh, the yearling began to follow her friend presumably away from the creepy woods.

"Hmmm.." Rosalind thought for a moment on Nefili's question before attempting on a response. Where were they going? Well, hopefully to Drestig, right? "I've talked to a couple of wolves on my uncle's whereabouts, Drestig.. The one that's not really my uncle.. I've told you about him, right? Hopefully we can stay with him.. I mean... If that's okay with you, and assuming we can actually find him.." She chuckled softly, nervously. Those kind strangers were able to give her the gist of his location, but Ro often had this little way of forgetting information whenever it was needed most, so, there's that.
