all of your glory

He had watched the pack from a distance for some time, at first they had simply meandered about but now things seemed to be stirring. There had been a sudden bloom in action in the carefully marked territory and Grim had finally become I n t r i g u e d . He had made plans to come to them needing succor and had thus began to starve himself. His ribs had already started to poke through, his fur had become short and brittle, and even the slightest bit of activity seemed to tire him. Soon he would present himself to the pack and they would no doubt pity him. He stopped to rest in a bush by the thundering falls his limbs tucked carefully under his frail frame. If he had come to them as he was- a serpent in all regards and brim with pompous pride they would have no doubt used caution when approaching him, perhaps even sensed that he was not to be trusted. As something broken that they needed to repair however they would watch his confidence build with his strength and they would see it as an accomplishment on their part. He closed his eyes and thought to himself Soon soon soon… when the sound of someone approaching caught his attention. He shifted to catch the stranger’s scent on the light breeze and felt his heart begin to race. They have come to me. he thought gleefully. He pinned his ears back over the now tight curve of his skull and hissed, his voice barely audible “Hello? Who’s there?” He kept his grandfather's skull on his head like always, and no doubt it would raise questions when he was found, but he could worry about that later.
