The pattern of rain striking his face and running down his neck was helping a lot more than he had thought it would. With it's rhythmic beat it gave him something to match his breathing to besides his erratic heart beat. He was so busy counting that he hadn't picked up on the woman's scent before the winds shifted, and now she was upwind of him. Steadily he regained his breathing, not a moment too soon as a woman's voice called out to him. Opening his eyes, he spotted a gray female standing above him, a pretty blue gem glittering at her throat. He paused for a moment, his golden gaze locking on the stone. His sister had worn something much like that, generally only the royals decorated themselves with such things. Shaking his head, realizing that he was being quite rude for staring, he fixed his stoic features on hers, dipping his head as his right front leg lifted. Eniko lowered the upper half of his body in a bow before rising, his chin tipped upwards to focus on the girl. "Quite alright Miss, but thank you for your concern," he called to her softly, his voice a touch hoarse as his lungs caught up from the lack of oxygen. Clearing his throat, he took a few small steps towards her before he looked at the ground, nearly falling once more. The prince frowned, but there was no way that he could pick his way up the long way. There was a ramp of earth that led up to where she was standing, but it was rather close to the sudden drop off. He either had to risk falling on the path ahead, or falling into the gorge below. Either way he would end up getting hurt, which was not really on the agenda for today. Glancing back at the stranger, he knew that he was probably best standing here, no matter how unseemly it was for him not to greet his sudden guest. Make no mistake, the day will come when you can't cover up what you've done. "SPEAK" |
