Black and Blue

Life had been relatively stagnant, at least for Bronze. That wasn't to say he was staying in one place most of the time, but quite the opposite. He'd made the whole northern region of Boreas his home. Sometimes he stayed in forests more familiar, like this one, though recently he'd wandered even further north than he was accustomed to. He liked to keep a general idea of where his siblings and parents were, but beyond that he wasn't tied to any one specific location.

This particular forest was one he was deeply familiar with, which was why someone's approach was easily noticed. Having since grown to his full height, it was hard for him to go unnoticed with his slate blue coat as he stalked through the forest - not that he'd ever exactly been light on his paws. His steps were difficult to hide, especially as Silent drew closer. His ears swiveled to the sides, pinpointing the direction of the approach before he smelled her, and long before he realized who it was.

A friend. One of few, really. It was rare to see him smile often but he allowed himself a small one as she approached, the expression barely noticeable unless you were really looking for it. His eyebrows raised, taking in the sight of her as she drew closer. "Not as Silent as I remember," he teased her lightly, though really it was that the forest was relatively and still today rather than any fault of her own. "It's been a long time."
