Secret Adventure

Everything was going the way Rudy had planned it, well almost.  Things were going perfect until they got past the trees.  Her eyes were filled with tears that hadn’t quite escaped her eyes and Rudyard wondered what memory he’d brought to the surface to cause tears to spring forth.  Thankfully a moment later she smiles so Rudyard realizes nothing was wrong.

Fern starts to talk then goes silent and then suddenly she’s pressed up into Rudy’s chest.  The motley grey wolf has a crooked grin growing at the weight of Fern against him.  Her paws are on him and her head is buried into the fur on his chest.  It felt like electricity tingling up and down his spine and wherever her body pressed into his.

When she looks back up at him finally Rudy’s ears flick as he spots the teardrops along her cheeks, tilting his head forward a bit to lick them gently away. “Hey now,” the voice softly teasing, “No crying at magical moments.”  With the tears cleaned off, Rudy shoves his head under her chin, giving it a gentle bump, keeping his head there to prop up her muzzle as he gently turns it to face the waterfall.  “Now, if you have tears in your eyes it ruins the effect of that water falling.”

There was so much they could do here.  A lot of things.  For now, though they’d start with enjoying the view, maybe a spar, some hunting to keep up with other promises he made her.  After all the work was done they could see about just enjoying the scenery some more and doing whatever came to mind.  They could head back closer to evening as far as Rudyard was concerned.  It was going to be a great day!
