And I won’t stray and I won’t lose my way Jouko let out a breath that floated away, steam rising to join the clouds while the man sat firmly planted on the snowy ground. It was kind of difficult getting around on this island, but it sure was pretty. Worth the struggle just for the pretty wintery sights he got to see. He'd become quite distracted, looking at the individual flakes of snow in the white bank he rested in, surprised to make out their individual forms as fresh ones settled atop the rest, their little branches so small and delicate. Once he failed to stop himself from breathing while he looked at one up close and it melted before his eyes. As he sat there enjoying a peaceful moment he heard and smelled someone approaching. Lazily looking over his shoulder he studied the boy who approached. He seemed a tiny bit older, his coat a somewhat familiar shade of slate, face bearing interesting reddish markings. All in all... intriguing. Turning more fully to face the boy but not bothering with actually standing up - he was comfortable, after all - Jouko smiled warmly and called out, "Hello! Enjoying the winter weather too?" His blue eye sparkled and he wore a wide grin as he watched this stranger approach. Walk. "Speak!" "Think." |
