A Road Diverged [Malleus]

Malleus lay in the shade beside the creek. The heat was oppressing, and for a wolf as big and fluffy as he, it could be a killer. He'd begun doing the bulk of his duties early in the morning and late in the evening for that very reason. Around him were giant tufts of fur. His coat, he'd decided, was going to be the death of him, so Malleus had decided to do something about it. He was shedding, but not fast enough so he'd had Pascal pull out as much of the loose fur as he could. The little macaque tired quickly, though, so only his neck and shoulders were done. This left him looking a bit patchy, but there wasn't much he could do about that. He rolled to his paws as Ashiel's voice rose from the nearby border and dutifully padded towards his cousin. "Aw, Ashiel! A pleasure as always. Come sit over here with me in the shade, will you? It's much too hot in the sun." |
