Window of Glass

I mean...maybe. That isn't normal though, is it? His question was not laced with sarcasm, but it still stung when it met Silent's ears. Those same ears turned back, fitting in well with the look of hurt that graced her young features. "It became my normal; I didn't have a choice." She wondered what it was like to be in the same place every night and waking up in that same place every morning. Such a ponder remained unsaid for the time being. The conversation would have taken a turn into a direction she was not ready for yet.

Bronze returned the compliment without hesitation: Your name is nice, too. It was a small thing, but it meant more to Silent than he knew. "Thank you," she politely replied, her black and silver tail flicking behind her once. The moment of politeness, however, was quickly moved when Bronze did something unexpected: step over the border, as if it were not there. Bright green eyes widened and she softly gasped as she saw him approach, but she did not protest. Once the small bit of shock was over, Silent realized she preferred to speak to him at a closer range. It was silly to have to speak so far apart. All she could do in that moment was grin.

So what were you doing, anyway? Looking at the trees? Bronze's gaze moved from her to the unseen tops of the trees that rose in front of them, causing his head to tilt up as well. Silent mirrored his action, her green eyes searching for what she could not see through the snow. "Yeah," she distractedly said, though her thoughts were the opposite of her tone. "I have never seen such tall trees before...or this white stuff." Silent remained looking up, enjoying the flakes that lazily drifted from the skies. "Where I have been lately, it is always warm with green grass all over the place." Her black paws curled into the snow, the soft sound of it moving reaching her ears. "It is always soft and springy, while this stuff clumps together." When her neck finally had enough of its stretch, Silent lowered her head to look at Bronze. "This is the first time I have ever seen something so pretty and white."
