Window of Glass

Compared to what Bronze knew, Silent's knowledge about the north and everything that came with it was slim to none. She had never been around the white stuff, never felt it beneath her paws before she walked her first steps, never had a snowflake float from the sky to land on her nose. The young girl was missing out on the little things that made childhood so great and she was not even aware. Though she would learn more things about life when she began to grow up, she was oblivious to the joys that came from things Bronze appreciated. All that she knew of so far in life was the feel of green grass beneath her black paws, the touch of the sun warming her where she napped, the sound of water that could either trickle or cascade down from a high point of land to an awaiting pool. Most of her small joys came from living in the East; it was a different world, one that the boy had yet to see.

Silent had still been in awe when the boy popped up out of nowhere. His voice was short and quick, betraying his presence before she came back to her senses. "Huh?" she asked, ears perking at his tone before she pulled herself out of her daze. A silent shake of her black-and-silver head shortly followed, causing her green eyes to hide behind closed lids for a few seconds. When she came to the realization that she was no longer alone, her senses slightly heightened as she expected to see a tall, monstrous figure. Her eyes wandered in the air above her, until another greeting was clumsily given. ''I mean. Hi.' Slowly, Silent's gaze moved down and landed upon the frame of a blue boy. She drank him in, taking in the finer gold details that stood out beneath his eyes and on his cheeks. Her brows slightly furrowed as confusion moved her mind forward. "Hi?"

The girl remained where she lay, black fur greatly contrasting against the white snow that consumed the entire territory. He did not wait long to continue with his sudden observation. 'Who are you? You don't smell like you live here.' He started to sniff hard at the air, taking more effort than she thought was necessary. Despite that thought, Silent couldn't help but giggle as she saw him work so hard to make his point known. "You're smart," she said, young tones warm with honesty. "I don't live here. I live..." She moved her head around, struggling to find the right way to describe where she stayed. When it didn't come to her, she lamely finished, "any and everywhere." She shrugged before moving away from the bush, pushing herself up to all fours. "You live here?" She guessed, stretching her neck out so she could try and catch his scent. It was similar to the thick rope of scents that kept her separated from him. "My name is Silent. What's your name?" Her tail began to wag slowly behind her, the idea of making a new friend slowly rising to her mind.
