Oh dear, what have we here?

Rain. Earth. Moss. The scents all seem to fill his head, seem to speak to him. Seem to make him feel more alive-- he'd never complain about that. Erik was just learning what it was to be alive. And now... now he's here. Now he's here, walking among them. Walking among who? Who was even out here? The boy was trying to assemble his thoughts as he walked, and as he made his way into the Oaks. How strange. Lovely, but strange. He too, is strange. The world around him was dimly lit and damp, and somehow, that felt safer. Erik knows he's safe here, but how safe? What does it mean? He stops and takes a long breath, muzzle towards the sky. The way the Oaks smell, in particular, draws him in. Damp. Everything is damp, and Erik is too. There would be no complaints on the subject. He rather likes the damp. The boy clears his throat as Akito comes into sight through the trees. He's not sneaking. No, simply walking. A raw, damp day, with the winter and his brother as company. Good enough to explore. |
