It was times like these that she wished she could just open her eyes and see the beautiful world once again. She missed being able to see things and there was still quiet a few days she grew depressed over it, but she was adjusting well. She found if she would sit out in the sunshine during the day it would help her to feel better throughout the day and sleep at night. Times like these she liked to keep her brain sharp taking in the sounds around her and trying to mentally picture the creature she heard and smelled. Her nose was even more sensitive then it had been before so she would often sit and just take the smells around her.
Her ears were alert and she could hear a slight disturbance in the songs of the birds. Focusing in on that she was able to pick out a particular pattern. She remembered that when she used to be on the trail birds would do this when she would pass through so she figured some sort of animal was moving through the area. She didn't know what type, but something was heading in this direction. Her nose twitched taking in the air, but whatever was coming was downwind and she wouldn't be able to smell what it was.
She allowed her ears to continue to work, tracing the pattern of the creature as it got closer and closer. Her more sensitive ears even picked up the creature's snort. It didn't sound like a deer, something a bit smaller scale then that. It was quiet for a moment before the other moved again, ears fallowing it's movements up until it was directly in front of her. His words were not at all surprising, she had been told that's what her face now looked like, eyes closed. And by now hair had grown over the facial scarring, covering most of the evidence unless you were close to her.
"No, just sitting here listening to the birds" she replied.
"Talk" & 'Think"
