Walk | "Talk" | Think The waters were cold enough almost to chill him as he drank, but it hardly stopped him. If anything, it only made it that much more refreshing. Rune paused momentarily to lick at his lips, feeling the gentle cling of misty droplets of water that had settled about his face from the falls though there was nothing he could do about those just yet. His blue eyes watched the place where the water fell into the pool, stared through the mist to see the way they churned just below the surface, bubbled and frothy. It was curious, really, though he had no interest in getting closer to more properly inspect it. Perhaps once the weathers warmed. It was a miracle that he heard the noise at all what with the waterfalls and the rushing, churning pool that they fed into. The pebbles should have gone unnoticed, clinking their way down the mountainside, but his attention was so focused upon the falls that he spotted where they hit the water, practically able to hear the entry above the other noises. His own ears perked as he stared at the spot and immediately his gaze rose upward, searching for the source. Nothing of interest stood there, no one to suggest that anything at all had caused the pebbles to fall. Maybe it had only been a matter of time and nothing more. But as he drew his gaze away, lowered his head to snag another drink of the water, and glanced upward again with no real purpose, he spotted her. At first, it was just the mismatched eyes, the blue and gold spots of color that stood out starkly against the rough, dark greys of the stone and the black fur that covered her face. Or, at least, mostly black fur. From his position still so far away it was hard to tell but it seemed she either was missing fur around her golden eye or that it blended in with her flesh, a pink tinge among the dark. It could have merely been the shadows, but it looked as if she was missing a corner of her ear as well. Rune blinked, his expression blank with surprise. He had been under the impression that the Tortuga had very few pups roaming about it, and that those who did reside there were still clutched to their mother's side. But this wolf was no babe, at least from what he could tell. If anything, he determined her to be a little smaller, a little younger than him, but fully capable of navigating on her own if she had managed to get that far up the falls. Easily he was curious and barked out a gentle chuff of greeting, not quite wagging his tail though it did move a little. He hoped that it wouldn't startle her but coax her down, intrigued by the mismatched eyes that stared down at him. |
