That Ticking Sound

*Pyralis* · 12-23-2018, 11:16 AM

Pyralis raced through the courtyard, took a flying leap and landed with a splash in a large mud puddle. The muck sprayed up around her, covering the lighter parts of her coat. She was full of excess energy this morning and was in desperate need of releasing it. Since she couldn't maul her son or various other relative she decided to just cut loose in the swampy courtyard. She'd have been content to stay there if the sight of her son's companion hadn't caught her attention. Oh? What was her son up to this particularly soggy morning?Well, what kind of mother would she be if she didn't tease her son on sight?

She let out a bark to Alkali, her hawk. The bird gracefully flew down out of the tree she'd been perching in while she preened herself and the pair took off after Ashiel and Griff. Pyralis trotted along with a spring in her step. Enjoying the splash of water when she noticed her son stopped. He seemed pretty agitated and for a moment she considered just racing toward him and tackling him right into the mud but Alkali's body language shifted enough to let the older woman know that something was amiss. She walked quietly, well as quietly as she could in the shallow water, next to her son. "Ashiel?" She turned to see what he was looking at when she noticed the round shape of a scaly back and two eyes staring at them. A massive crocodile was floating gently in the swollen creek, moving slowly toward them.
