A Lion And A Lamb

This trip was already shaping up to be better than the last one. Relief from the heat had come with the turn of the season. Malleus was glad his days of skulking around in the shade like a vampire were over. His movements had been restricted by the heat of the day and he'd been forced to get all of his work done early in the morning or late in the evening. With the change in season had come something else as well. Something Malleus couldn't ignore if he tried. He was keenly aware of Serene's current state. How could he not be? The heat scent that emanated from her was bewitching and he struggled to keep his thoughts from it. It was like being in a desert and resisting an oasis. Finally they reached the lush, raised edge of the pool at the base of the falls. Tipping his head back, Malleus gazed up at the cerulean cascade. The falling water struck the pool below with a thunderous roar. Even though this wasn't his first visit, Malleus was once against struck by the raw power and beauty of the falls. "I can't think of a better place for these plants to grow. It's fitting that such rare ones would grow in such a remarkable place," he commented absently. He tore his gaze away from the falls and looked to Serene. "Ready to stock those shelves at home? I think we can make a killing today." |
