sweetest things

Silence. It engulfed him as he wandered through the lands he was slowly beginning to recognize as his home. As winter took over, however, and snow began to accumulate a bit more each day, he found himself feeling more and more a stranger. He had seen snow, knew what it was like -- but everything seemed colder here. Much more harsh and unforgiving. Slowly he was beginning to toughen up; both physically and emotionally. The wolves here were serious and many seemed emotionless to the sensitive boy. He had taught himself to compose himself; to not show weakness, but instead humble submission, even when he felt like crying inside. But an all-too-familiar call echoed through the land, arresting him from his thoughts. It couldn't be! There was little hesitation in Talon's gait as he immediately began to head in Kangi's direction. A normally meek, rather shy boy, he could not contain his excitement at hearing his friend's voice again. Last time they had met, she didn't know if she wanted to stay. But maybe she had made up her mind! He was eager at the prospect of reuniting with her, since Euphrosyne had spent lots of time with Isardis lately, and he frequently found himself alone. He could hardly believe it was her, even as her beautiful self came into his view. Amazing! The boy looked much better than he had since they last met, but would forever retain his undersized, slightly malnourished appearance; yet he looked more like an adult than every before. Still his gait was childlike and awkward, and a smile broke out on his face as he rushed forward, eagerly embracing her upon contact. Behind him, his slender tail would lash back and forth, unabashed in his pure joy. "Kangi! I missed you!" The familiar feeling of excited nausea crept up in his belly, and he could feel his heart racing in his chest. Despite the awkward nervousness that suddenly flooded him, he was grateful for her presence. So it was with a great feat of courage that he leaned to lap tenderly at her face, overcome with joy and affection -- and even a kind of love for Kangi, the mysterious, beautiful girl that kept reappearing in his life. She never seemed to stay for as long as he wanted, and it made him crave her presence all that much more. |
