As he wandered, his song picked up again the words slipping effortlessly off the creature's tongue as though he'd spoken them many times before. Still he maintained a strangely creepy sing-song tone, bouncing slightly with each step. If he had been mistaken about the scent of a female lingering in the air, he would turn around and go back on his way. And if not... well, why was she out here, in the storm? Certainly she was not following him? "Dormi, mi fili, dormi... aderit mox mihi, tum tibi ultima... optima nox." His nose had not betrayed him after all! Domovei shook his soaked muzzle, moisture spraying from his eyes with the quick gesture. In the near distance was the outline of a female, a smaller girl, her grey fur blending in slightly with the dreary environment. Green eyes widened as he took a few steps forward, examining her as best as he could through the storm. The rain continued to fall relentlessly around them, as though wanting to drown the earth itself. A loud crack of thunder sounded somewhere behind him, causing him to flinch slightly. Body crouched closer to the ground as he stared at the girl. A smile of his own teased the corners of his lips, his eyes alight with... something... as he watched her. She wouldn't have been so close to him if she hadn't been following him, would she? What could she possibly want with him? A glance told him that the female's intentions were pure enough, but any actor could convey the facade of kindness that she so readily displayed. "Ah, yes! Quite nice, indeed, yes.." He approached her guardedly, head shaking once again to rid the water that seemed intent on obscuring his vision. He would scrutinize her silently, willing a smile to remain plastered on his face. "What brings you out in this weather?" He inquired in loud tones; the steady drumming of the rain was enough to wash out the sound of their voices quite easily. "Shouldn't you be seeking shelter somewhere?" |
