The newfound warmth that spring brought made Aeil's more playful side show. It seeped into her bones and muscles, resulting in energy spreading through her whole body. Her eyes opened as the breeze faded and she took a few steps forward before falling towards the ground. What may have seemed like her collapsing was, in fact, her deciding to romp in the grass. Aeil rolled across on her back, legs greeting the air for split seconds before she rolled to the other side. She rose on all fours, shook all over, and happily barked as she ran in another direction and mimicked the same movements. It didn't take much for Aeil to be happy. After the second roll, Aeil rose and padded towards the nearby grove of trees. As she let the sunlight soak in her fur and prickle her skin, she could feel the shade inching towards her from the grove's heart. Tentatively, Aeil took a few steps in that direction, but thought better of it and shook her head. "Not yet," she said softly. With her mind made up, she turned away from the taunting fingers of the shade (and a possible nap) and padded back out and around the same piece of grass she had left. Aeil also knew that when she had a perfect grassy knoll and the right amount of sunlight, a nap would follow there, too. Shade or sunlight, she couldn't lose for either one. So, without even realizing there was anyone else around, she let her guard down and settled down. Stomach met ground, left side was rolled on, and head was lowered to a soft patch of grass. Ears flicked mildly and tail swayed around and twitched lazily as she closed her eyes. Big blue opts saw the shade of trees nearby, also beckoning to her (as was the sun). The last thing she happened to see before she started to doze was that small slope that rose above the canopy of mid-height pines. The dark figure that stood on the slope didn't register until she was completely at ease....Wait. Dark figure? Her eyes snapped open. The sun had made her brain fuzzy, explaining her late reaction. She raised her head and her gaze met the one that was a fair distance away. Her claws extended and dug in the dirt as her full weight moved to her legs. Slowly, she rose, guard up and curiosity peeking over it in her eyes. Had he been watching her this whole time? A gruff bark escaped her, one that held a growl in its silver lining. In response to her growl, her ears flattened slightly, pointing to the back of her cranium. With all senses heightened and on edge, she waited to see what he would do next. "speeeeech" |
