I Spy
The girl's scent grew stronger, though he didn't need to analyse her scent to know that. The rustling of the grass was fairly obvious, though he pretended not to notice that either. He could barely contain his laughter; he just wanted to turn around and cuddle the little detective. Biting his tongue until he could taste a little blood, he fidgeted on his haunches as he awaited the girl's arrival impatiently. With earthen paws he poked and rummaged through his herbs and hummed a little tune - not the best acting though hopefully enough to fool his niece. After all, he didn't want to ruin her fun.
He was almost disappointed to hear the change in the pup's steps from a slow creep to a normal walk. No surprise scare or attack? Oh well, at least he would save himself a few grey hairs. In the corner of his eye he found the girl quietly yet curiously standing beside him. He swivelled his head around to rest his warm, welcoming gaze on her blue and tan form. Ah, this one he hadn't yet spent time with. Aurora, wasn't it? "Hello," he greeted with a broad smile, bronze eyes twinkling. "I'm your uncle Terrae." Did she know who he was? Probably not, unless she had seen him out and about around the pack. Gesturing to his companion, who was staring up at the pup wide-eyed, he added, "That's my friend, Silvius." He couldn't forget about his herbs - perhaps he could interest the child in healing. All he wanted was someone he could teach and bore with his endless yakking on herbs. He wouldn't be surprised if she thought of him as a complete nut-head. After all, who else obsessed over something as silly as plants? "Would you like to know what I'm doing?" |
