Eat, Sleep, be Scary
As he was caught up in his thoughts of a long gone family member the sudden sound of a branch snapping caused him to jump. He didn’t quite stop his quick gate but his ears shot up as he listened for anymore interruption. Rhyme continued on, paying more attention to his surroundings as he continued deeper into the woods.
He tried to rekindle the memories of his aunts and uncles, Bass with his responsibilities in Abaven, Motif Shaye’s mother and practically his second mother. Chord, the uncle who had disappeared long before he’d been able to really form a relationship, and Symphony and her brood. Another aunt he hadn’t remembered very well. For a moment he tried to think about what might have happened to them, and with the spooky settings all he could think of were gruesome ends.
Distracted a bit by her thoughts, she almost missed the scent that eventually crossed her path. Pausing, she scented the air and noticed that it was a mortal male. She decided to follow the trail, and in her pursuit, ended up stepping on a twig that cracked rather loudly; the sound echoing throughout the forest. She paused for a moment, remaining still with a forepaw in midair as she stared ahead to see if her quarry had noticed. A few moments went by, and nobody seemed to approach. Huh...well, she still had the element of surprise, she supposed.
A few minutes later, she spotted the male ahead of her, and a grin spread across her lips. How close could she get to him before he realized he wasn't alone? It was a game she was very much willing to try, so she quietly stalked forward and hoped the breeze wouldn't shift to give away her position. Circling around to his blindside, Kas quietly moved forward until she was well within striking distance (if she decided to flat out attack him, that is). Once she felt she was close enough, she smirked and in her spookiest voice, said "Boo."
Rhyme gets a treat!
Contrary to his dreary mood, and the rather spooky atmosphere, Rhyme is lucky to find a cluster of ancient gemstones below his paws. They look to be quite valuable! Rhyme gains 16 gems!
