Will you remember me?

In the blink of an eye Valentine was transported seemingly back in time via sleep. He stood young and proud in the heart of his kingdom and when at last he had drank his fill of the surrounding view, he moved and found himself graced with the fluid movements of his youth. Reveling in this feeling, he took off at an easy, ground-eating lope across the knolls. He'd have held that pace for some time had not a familiar dark form arrested his movements as swiftly as if he'd struck a rock wall. Cascade? Confusion contorted his youthful features. After marveling at the springiness of his joints he hadn't given his youthfulness a second thought, but the sight of a dear, dead friend and the improbability of that was too great to gloss over. Perhaps he'd died and that was why he found himself in his favorite place with his best friend. For whatever reason, this thought didn't alarm him. He didn't think to ask himself questions about who was missing or why he was here, no, Valentine, for once, was content to simply be. "For us," he said as he casually bounced over to Cascade as if they hadn't been separated by death. "I pictured an afterlife that was a little ah...warmer, you know?" He was glad he'd been wrong about the flames. They would have made it harder for him to enjoy not being old again. |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
