Winter had settled in Auster and it was a wet one, sheets of rain fell from the sky, hard enough for it to slip through the bamboos canopy. Thick water droplets bounced off the bamboo leaf litter, swelling the few shallow streams that meandered through the territory.

He had options, nothing was pressing just yet.

He paused, his ears flicking as he caught the sound of rustling thicket. Clumsy paws trying and failing to be quiet. His lips pressed thin, curving just so at the corners in a loosely amused frown.
