walking further along the beaten path provides nothing more than another charmander. it's another cutie, bright eyed with an equally bright tipped tail, and she can't help but coo at the small creature in passing. it coos back with a little wave of a small hand and then disappears, off to find more adventure in this world.

her smile is warm as they continue, a content sigh escaping from her lips. this is pleasant, relaxing, soothing... she should definitely do this more often.

the familiar clunking of the first pokemon she had encountered within the depths of the safari draws her attention. another one of those mysterious little creatures comes scuttling through the bushes and into her path. her legs are quick to stop, her eyes flying toward the falinks instantly. a soft gasp escapes her as it simply stops to blink up at her for a moment before continuing to scurry along.

curious little thing... with a slight bob of her head, she signals for flammae to continue and together they leave the area in favor of another. perhaps they'll find something else in another part of the safari...? she isn't sure but the walk will certainly be nice.

oh, another dinosaur? ugh, so cute! the woman flashes the passing shieldon a bright smile as they cross paths. keep on truckin, you funky lil dinosaur!

once the shieldon disappears into the bushes, she turns her attention back to the path they're traveling upon. sounds of various pokemon echo in the distance and without any other sense of where to go, she simply heads towards the noises.

another rustle, another bush, another encounter. it's a small automaton, curious and unsatisfied as it meanders around the area. soft noises of mild interest escape it as it goes and she's drawn in by the sounds. a curious woman and a curious creature... a match made in heaven, perhaps, but not for today.

she passes it with a small smile in its direction, bidding it farewell and continuing on. her thoughts drift toward her own automaton, that same unbridled curiosity also driving her own darling beast. perhaps next time she'll bring it along, if only to see the childlike excitement at such unfamiliar surroundings. yes... she believes deus would like that very much.

it seems as though her walk is beginning to come to an end. duplicates begin to pop up more frequently and while the woman is content to observe each and every one, she is growing tired with each lazy lap. her feet ache, slowly but surely, and soon, blisters will form at the ankles. perhaps it's best to simply end now...

except, there's still so much to see and she can't deny herself the pleasure of watching each pokemon pass. their personalities are all so vast, so different, so refreshing. this new little farfetch'd, for example, looks almost prideful as it struts by, large leek dragging behind it like a cape. a cute thing, boastful and fit for a crown perhaps. she flashes it a smile and with a glance toward a disinterested flammae, signals to continue on.

one more lap or two won't hurt, right? her ankles can hate her later.

another lap and as she circles the safari, her feet slowly begin to heat with a dull ache. the sun will set soon and night will creep in with eerie fingers, casting shadows with its slow hands. for now, daylight still clings and she wanders beneath the setting sun.

another sword, left by a knight long forgotten. her eyes drift toward the sleeping form as she passes it, the fading sun leaving a golden glow casting over the honedge. it's pretty, she realizes with a satisfied hum. fit for a king, perhaps... too bad she's a commoner, unfit for such a sword. and so, she passes it by, shuffling on to the next with a soft thought drifting toward the abandoned piece of weaponry. the hope that, soon, it will be reunited with its knight to fight another day lingers in her mind long after she has left, the notion that it has a purpose just as everything does filling her mind with dreams of fairy tales and knights coming to rescue her.

and in that moment, she feels like the younger version of herself again, with a mind full of kingdoms and castles, royals and princes. it crumbles by tomorrow as kingdoms always do, for rome, too, burned in a day.

metal on metal, a symphony of steel with ever changing vibratos, shrill falsettos rising and falling into the wind. it draws her eyes in, dark and her own form of metal. steel eyes meet steel bodies marching in line and is that a g note in the distance? welcome to the falinks parade, red and yellow and black and she's simply a young girl taken into the city.

a hum escapes her throat and she marches alongside the robotic creature, shuffling along to the invisible beat of a drum. her footsteps fall in line with that of the falinks and it's easy, comfortable, entertaining. giggles follow as they go, drifting away on the breeze in their own form of a crescendo. eventually, the falinks parts from her path and onward she marches, the next part of the safari waiting for her own version of a marching band. her hums echo and fade away in time until it's just her and the sound of her own feet shuffling further into the sunset drenched trees.
