Amber eyes took note of the strange landmarks before her, trying to remember each one so she wouldn't find herself lost. The plateau was behind her, farther than it had ever been. Her father would likely be angry when he found her missing. He might even send a search party, but she planned on being back before then. Shivering, Celandine tried to forget the cold nipping at her paws, while focusing on her goal. Deacon was out there somewhere - at least she hoped he was. Cursing herself for not asking where he lived when she had the chance, the youngest Argyris considered howling for him. There was a pretty good chance that another would answer though, and then what would she do? A young princess, far from home and all alone. Nothing good could come of it. Sighing, she continued her search in silence, save for the snow crunching beneath her light frame.
Some time later, her eye was drawn to something. Deep ebony against a stark white background, she closed in on it. A single feather laid upon the snow. It seemed such a pity to leave it lying there, so with a careful grip, she plucked it from the Earth. Her dark prince might think her mad. A princess carrying around a feather? What was the point? She tried to tell herself to set it down; Leave it and come back later, but she had a feeling it would be gone by then. Already having claimed it as he own, she couldn't stand the thought of someone else taking it, so she kept it.
