Today's Sensation

Morning strolls in the park.

Usually, such leisure activities would escape my hectic schedule. Nowadays, I don't really have the time nor the luxury to be jaywalking my days away.

So, even with all things considered, this was nice. Every step, though sore and heavy, was catharsis at its most fundamental.

Just needed a little walk, a patient listener, to walk along with me on the path ahead paved with my worries.

Luckily, Ash was a great listener, an even better sympathizer. Walking with her, I knew there was nothing I couldn't say.

So, following the natural course of events, like a therapist and her patient, attentively she lends her pointed ears to my dreams.

Everything that's happened, down to the minute details... I don't think I've left a single thing amiss.

Told her about meeting the springy hot-tempered Latrissa, a young Phoenix with a family resemblance that was seriously too close for comfort.
