Paws wandered for a little while longer, but the sounds of movement caught his attention. He was cautious at first, bi-colored gaze staring in the direction of the noise. His hackles rose instinctively, ready to fight or flee whatever or whoever was there. As he quietly stalked his way forward, he realize that he recognized the scent, even through the heavy stench of herbs. "Mom?" His heart pounded for a moment as his voice fell in disbelief. Was it her? He had to be sure, so immediately he moved forward, making his steps a little louder so as not to startle her.
Once he got closer, he saw the familiar form of his dear mother, and his heart leaped up to his throat. He felt...a range of emotions. He wasn't really sure what to call it. He couldn't pick out one over the other, so he just let them run their course. "Mom!" He cried out, tail wagging as he approached her. He stopped close to her, a couple of feet away for fear that she would lash out at him for having left. But it hadn't been his intentions to abandon his family the way he had. He knew he was bigger now. Stronger too. Thanks to Ana who had helped him. His ears dropped then...would his mother hate him for having left her? "Mom...it's me...Cloud..." His voice was soft and hesitant. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but part of his mind feared she'd reject him. |
