Description     Del didn't really have a destination, she just needed to get out of the house for a bit. As much as she loved her father, she hated how he had basically caged her up as to, in his words, keep her safe. It really only became worse once Musti and Takeshi were added into the equation. She didn't have anything against the two, Takeshi was a sweet kid, sometimes a trouble maker, but what kid wasn't; Musti made Koda happy, even if he refuses to admit it. Sometimes she really wished those two would stop dancing around each other already and just confess already, or at least let Keshi know the truth about Koda so she can finally lay claim on being her older sister. 

    The thought made her chuckle causing Marimo to look at her oddly, his little tongue poking out as always. 

    "It's nothing Mo, just thinking out stuff." she said pausing to give the wibble a pat on the head who happily responded with a soft croon. She stopped when she felt a drop of water fall onto her paw. She looked up and squinted at the grey clouds as more droplets hit her and soaked into her fur and feathers.

    "Guess that's our cue home huh." She looked around, realizing just how far she'd walk, she let out a sigh and turned around, watching her steps this time lest she slipped. She didn't like the feeling of her fur getting soaked and was a little more than grateful her feathers mostly repelled the water because even with wind magic it took a while to get them dry. 

    While Del wanted to avoid the rain, Marimo was completely relishing in it. Del looked over the horizon and watched as lightning struck down the mountain range. She shuddered and was silently glad she wasn't within striking distance. She watched as another bolt struck down, and as it it did Marimo jumped off her back a let the strong winds carry him away. 

    Del glared at her wibble, "Marimo! Come back here!" She yelled. Usually his recall was much better, but he was enjoying the storm too much to listen. Thunder rumbled and Del could only curse under her breath as the rain started to pour harder. She looked in the direction of her home and the direction in which her wibble flew to and with little hesitation chose to follow her pet. 

    First things first, she had to get down from the small cliff she was on. It wasn't too steep, nor was it too deep, so with some careful maneuvering she slowly slid down. She looked up and watched her wibble, it would be some time before she lands so might as well just follow him for the time being. She didn't pay too much attention in which direction they were going, only really minding her steps to make sure she didn't trip. Eventually she had ended up in a wooded area. The canopy was open enough to let her keep an eye on Marimo, and the trees helped shield her from the rain just a little. Half-way through, her eyes and body began to feel heavy.

    A part of her wanted to call quits and find shelter and look for her wibble when the storm calmed, or otherwise stop, but no. She wouldn't even be able to rest properly if he wasn't by her side. So she steeled herself and kept going.

    Another half hour or so passed, Del had almost lost sight of him a couple of times, and tripped every so often. Her foot steps were definitely dragging and with each passing minute, each step became harder and harder. 

    It seemed to have finally come to an end as from the distance, Del watched as Marimo landed on the roof of a yellow building, barely visible past the trees. She stepped out and let out a few coughs as the rain hit her at full force once more. All the was left to do was to get him back by her side and find shelter. Maybe the owner of the house wouldn't mind providing such, at least until the storm let up. 

    She took a few more steps before her body decided enough was enough. Her next step caused her to fall into a messy heap onto the mud. She frowned and tried to get up, only to slip and splash more mud onto herself. Despite the rocks and coldness of the rain, laying down felt nice she guessed. Her eyes slowly dropped close before the world around her turned dark.
