you're high and low

Áki found himself thinking of winter, now, as he stared at the glimmering stars above. His children would be born before the worst of the weather hit, and he wondered if they would make it to the north to survive their first winter. While part of him wanted to keep them in the more temperate lands, he knew they would have the blood of the north running through their veins, knew their coats would be thick and their builds large, strong enough to survive anything. He was certain of it, more certain than he'd ever been of anything, though he knew nothing yet of how many their might be or if they would survive at all. A content sigh fell from his lips as his gaze roved over the night sky, searching for knowledge held in the stars as they grew brighter as night fell deeper. He heard the soft bark of a woman before he ever saw her, or caught whiff of her. Somewhat surprise, he turned his head to search for her, crimson eyes falling on her nearby. She was a lovely girl, with a melodic voice to match, and he grinned openly at her. "I don't mind one bit," his heavy voice rumbles, a chuckle falling from his lips. "Lovely night, isn't it?" His tusked head tilted toward her, searching her face, wondering who this woman might be. |
