"Hey, Mara!" Eris greeted her friend, grinning. "And, of course, hi Killian." It had been a long time since she had seen either of them. Last time she could recall was at Killian's last vet appointment, so it definitely had been too long since they got to hang out. Eris had friends of all kinds but she always felt it was neat that she and Marabella were so similarly gifted. After all, anyone who was a friend to animals was a friend to Eris. "How have you guys been?" Opening up the trunk of her car, she looked through her things and pulled out a little bag. "Would Killian like a treat?" Eris always had some on hand. 

It wasn't too much longer before others showed up, which Eris was glad for because she was ready to get out deeper into the woods. "Zephyr!" She said excitedly, happy to see her best friend there. Though she knew that Zephyr wasn't too big on things like this but she also knew it wouldn't be the same without him there. "I'm so glad you came. I forgot my matches for the campfire." she joked, nudging her friend with her elbow. "Kidding. But seriously, I'm happy you're here. We don't get to hang out enough anymore." 

"So there are a few different paths we can take. I've only hiked one of them, a few months ago to get an idea of the area but that just means more opportunity for adventure." What fun would this be without a little adventure, right? Something about the forest always invoked Eris' curiosity and explorative nature. Where would the paths lead? What sights would be seen or plants or animals found? She just had to find out. One time, as a teen she'd hiked off trail letting nothing but the wildlife guide her. Animals knew where all the real treasures of the forest could be found, after all.
