Beneath a clear blue sky

Another season away from his parents, and, somehow, another season that he had managed to survive. He wasn't entirely healthy, only doing what he could do to scrape by, but he was alive, and that was all he could ask for. With the arrival of Spring came the realization that he was growing. He was still small, still a cub, but he wasn't as small as he had been. The arrival of spring also meant that he was going to be able to find more food, didn't it? His parents had mentioned it, before he got separated from them, and he had been looking forward to all the prey he could eat. He wasn't lucky enough, now, with having to resort to scavenging, but hopefully things would be better as time went on. Pidge's restless paws had brought him to a new area, and he was almost instantly captivated by the beauty of it. If he looked high enough, squinting against the light, he could make out the form of flowering branches swaying on the breeze. It was calming, and, if Pidge had been any more relaxed in this place he would have just fallen asleep. This would be the perfect place to stay if he weren't so restless and so eager to head to a new place so often. In the back of his mind, he made a note to come back here someday. An odd smell distracted him from the beauty of the place, and curiosity got the better of him. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but he had never smelt it before. Following the scent, he came to a stop near the form of a creature he hadn't quite gotten used to yet. The creature was the one giving off the weird scent, and Pidge found his nose wrinkling as he lifted one paw, debating if he should leave the creature alone or follow instincts and whack it in the nose. it didn't take long for him to decide; a few steps brought him closer, head tilting to one side before he attempted to smack the odd looking creature right in the face. If he managed to, he'd get out of reach and watch the reaction from a distance. |
