It was not outlandish for people--especially therians like Isra--to wear accessories which matched their aspects, though the leathery, wing-shaped cape which fell across her back was bolder than most. The gloves it was attached to completed the effect. “Alright Apricot, babe, do your thing.”

Image: Apricot flies off Isra’s shoulder, her wings outstretched and her orange feet tucked under her. Isra is looking at her and smiling. Both are facing ¾ towards the viewer. End description.

Apricot stretched her wings and flew to each marker. When she reached the trunk, she circled it before landing and hopping in. Yuli trotted over and they chattered amongst themselves.

Image: Yuli is crouched on top of the trunk, looking down at Apricot who’s inside. On the floor in front of the trunk is a golden key. End description.
