Bright Eyes, Chapped Lips

Percy continued humming along to the forest's winter chorus as he walked, harmonizing with the rustling reeds and wind-lapped ripples where the water met the shore. To his ear he sounded pretty good, too! The loons kept a close eye on him, drifting in opposition of wherever he went but the bright man didn't mind. He had nearly completed his circuit of the lake when the wind shifted and brought with it a new scent, fresh and close. Apparently he wasn't the only one out enjoying the day. Ever curious Percy drew in, only making it a few paces before a clear voice called out a dozen and some yards away. "Hello? Is someone out there?" The scent had told him about as much, but it was good to have confirmation that this stranger was female and pretty young, so the odds of it being someone who wanted to stir shit were lowering by the second. Absolutely ideal. He angled himself closer to where he thought she'd called from and soon found himself facing a remarkably pelted wolf, blinking his surprise. At first glance he wouldn't have thought her out of place back home, something in her color palette and flecks stirred a warm nostalgia, but he quickly shook himself into better sense. His travels had shown him wolves of every shape, color and size, but Boreas still seemed to have more than its fair share. Percy shrugged off the coincidence and called back, "I'm a someone, I think." Percy moved to stand an easy distance away so she could clearly see him, as if it was hard to pick him out of the winter brush in the first place. Still seemed like good manners, though. He smiled and added, "I didn't know anyone else was roaming around out here! Are you from the area?" He wouldn't mind some tips on where he might head next if she had them, his only criteria being 'neat' and 'fun,' both of which had a wide range of definitions in his book. He gave the youngling a quick once over at closer range and was surprised to find her rivaling, or perhaps exceeding, his own large size despite looking barely more than a year old. What were they feeding pups around here? "I was just getting a feel for things while passing through. You're welcome to join if you'd enjoy some company for a while." Percy tossed out the offer with a shrug. It had been a while since he'd chatted with someone new, and the fact that this was a kid hardly detracted from his enthusiasm. If you asked him, younglings could be hysterical, and even if this one was a level-headed sort it still offered plenty of flavors an afternoon spent on his lonesome would lack. Just because he was getting older didn't mean he couldn't still keep it cool with the youths, right? "Talk" "Listen" Think |
Perseus' siblings may enter into any of his threads, regardless of tagging!
