Windows to the Soul

The rapids made it a little harder for Soul to rely on his hearing, and so while he could tell someone was approaching he wasn't sure if their paths would actually meet, it was only when her sweet voice reached him that the boy's eyes flew open, more out of some deeply ingrained instinct than habit or need. Pale eyes slid across the empty expanse before him, not landing solidly on where the girl was but somewhere just past her. He frowned, considering the girl's question. It was significantly harder for him to notice things like small animals with the noise from the rapids still so loud to his ears. Eventually, he might learn to tune it out but for now, he struggled with it still a great deal. The boy shook his head finally, unable to remember hearing or smelling a mouse going by. "No sorry." He said, rolling onto his stomach and rising into a sitting position. "Why?" His papa had been bringing him, small creatures, to eat but he hadn't really put much thought into the connection between that and the small things the scurried in the snow and grass here. "I'm Soul by the way!" "Speech" |
