Eclipse turned around in the air, looking at what Harlow was seeing. Her eyes widened in alarm, and she tilted her wings beginning to dive. Shit! It's a helicopter! She dove through the tall trees, dodging everything. Once she was almost to the ground, she snapped her wings back open and caught herself before impact. Lowering herself down onto the ground and landing gently, Eclipse sighed in relief. I'm so sorry about that, there was a helicopter and we needed to get down as fast as possible... She sat down to let Harlow get off her back, nervous. What if the helicopter saw her?

Harlow gasps in surprise, clamping her eyes shut. She tenses up once again, heart pounding in her chest again. Everything was happening so fast and she seemed dizzy from the quick descent. "W-woah.." Harlow slips of and stumbles backwards a little bit, hearing the helicopter overhead. "We should get out of here..."

She Shifted back to her human form, then quickly moved to support Harlow. "Yeah, we should. I'll ask the birds to guide us back to your place." Raising her head to the trees, she made some bird sounds. A few moments later there was a reply. "They said they'll guide us." Looking at Harlow in concern, she didn't let go of her until she was better. "I'm so sorry, but you know what would happen if I didn't do that."

Once Harlow had recovered, she glances around. "Oh, I know where we are. Come on!" In almost an instant, she set off in a very specific direction, easily racing through the ferns, looking back every so often to see if the other was following. Despite everything, Harlow did have a quite good sense of direction.

Eclipse ran after the other, relieved she knew where they were. As she ran, she thought about the day's happenings. So much had happened in such little time. Since her eyes were better than that of a regular person's, soon she could see the outline of Harlow's house. Fixing her pace so that she matched the other's, Eclipse smiled, relishing in the fact that now she wouldn't be as alone as she was before.

Harlow kept up the pace until they made it to the house, opening the door before wandering inside. "I sure hope you weren't seen." She mumbles rather concerned. Oh, I hope.. She pulls out another journal and hands it over. "How far from the city are you wanting to go?"

"Me too..." She looked over at Harlow, who had a journal in her outstretched hand. Eclipse took it, examining it. "I dunno, I haven't really thought about it that much. How far are we now?" She met Harlow's eyes, seeing concern in them. "If we're in a secluded area currently, for now I think I can stay here. I might have to move to the country in the future, though..."

"Yeah, we're pretty far out now. The only issue is that I've had a few poachers out here lately and they arent the greatest to encounter.." Harlow sighs. "Other than that it's pretty much good out here."

Eclipse nodded. "Alright, then I should be good here for a while. That is, if you want me to stay with you?" She tilted her head. "Well, we should probably get changed and ready for bed. It's pretty late already." She began to walk, but stopped. "Um... Do you have an extra bedroom?" Eclipse had temporarily forgotten that this wasn't her house, and now she was embarrassed. A small dusting of red was on her face.

"Why not?" Harlow shrugs. She blinks softly as the other seemed to have forgotten that this wasnt their house. "I do! Second door on the left." She points at a cracked open door, before going to feed her dog and get everything ready to go to sleep. This will be a nice change,.
