Escape

Sparrow heard the other approach, coiling her legs beneath her in case she needed to escape. She looked towards him as he settled and made his comment. Sparrow's minty eyes scanned the area. It was beautiful. While other areas of water froze during the winter, this one seemed unfazed. It was always moving slowly, lapping at the shore with slow, lazy movements. A moment would seem to pass between the two before Sparrow hummed a response. She pushed herself up into a sitting stance, "Nice and quiet this time of year. I guess with Winter and all..."

Sparrow tilted her head back and forth as if to complete the rest of her sentence. Something in the movement made her sinuses run and Sparrow snorted them back into place without much notice. She was growing used to being sick, maybe. Okay, she wasn't but she didn't notice every sniffle. Her pink tongue lapped over the edge of her nose, "So, why did you come out here, then?"
