Sow His Seed

The youth was going on her daily run - a habit she established what seemed like ages ago in an attempt to keep fit when no good sparring partners seemed to be presenting themselves - and enjoying every moment of it. The world was a winter wonderland now and it was beautiful! Snow and ice covered everything, and her coat had grown thick and fluffy in preparation for this very weather. It wasn't thick enough to hid the lithe, toned muscle she was developing beneath her hide. She needed to do more though, but without anyone who was super interested in physical fitness, well... Her runs would have to be enough for now.

She watched her breath fog in the air, enjoying it as her paws pounded through the thin layer of snow, carrying her quickly along the worn trails through the territory that she now knew so well she could pick them out even under layers of the powdery snow that was bent on blanketing the lands. Having spent much time doing her favorite activities - exploring every nook and cranny of Boreas to the best of her abilities - she hadn't known about the arrival of the Abraxas man. Not until she saw him, with his unmistakable mottled pelt, standing up ahead in the middle of her path. Setting her jaw, Caelestis cruised up, putting on the breaks at the last minute and sending snow flying up in all directions.

"Who're you?" she asked curtly, eyeing him with suspicion she made no attempt to conceal.
