Romeo take me somewhere I can be alone

His paws brought him outside of the pack borders. This time not to search for his mother or brother but to actually enjoy himself for once. The yearling's gray tipped tail swung behind him as he walked on the leaves that crunched beneath his white toed paws. White lined ears perked up at the sound of each step. The crinkle was a rather pleasant sound. The crunch made him want to step on even more fallen leaves. Alas there was only so much, fall wasn't even at it's peak yet. The colors never seemed to fail though, red, yellow, orange, and brown. Aqua blue eyes with an emerald green flint in each averted ahead towards the sound of rushing water. A river, he thought as the sound of running water reached his white lined ears.

With a small smile on his maw the yearling advanced towards the sound. Coming up towards the river his eyes took in the scene. Facing the river the brute advanced as his toes squelched in the sand. For a moment Ryker felt an urge to hunt by these waters. But there were no animals nearby that he felt like chasing around at the moment. Besides, he felt like alight snack would do after his walk. Maybe he could even bring something back home for anyone who might want some prey or a bit to eat.

Walking to the water' s edge the young brute set his two front paws into the water. The chill of the water greeted him and he welcomed it with a refreshing shiver that ran down his back. The fur stood up for a moment until it slowly fell back down into place. Looking around the male's aqua blue and emerald green gaze scoured the surface of the river. He saw the small shadows of fish, yes, that sounded nice and easy.

Taking his left paw he lifted it up intontjensirnand held it there for a moment as he waited for a fish to swim by. He stood there with one paw raised innthebair and the other in the water. Patiently and quietly waiting did he eventually spot a shadow slowly swim by. Pushing his left paw into the water to cause the fish to swim forwards out of fright or instinct; he took his right paw and ran it through the water to slap the fish out of the water. His end result was a fish flopping on the ground gasping for air. Walking over to it Ryker sank his claws into it to end it's misery.

"You're free." he mumbled before going to catch a few more fish.

Going back to the water's edge the yearling had caught a few more fish as he now had a small pile of five fish. Hownlong had he been out here? He could not tell but the sun had clearly moved. Fall, short days and long nights. Soon enough colors would cover the sky as the Sun would set.

Laying down on the sand the male picked up a fish from the pile and dug into it with his teeth. Ripping away the scales did he get to the flaky tender meat inside. Ryker would eat this fish until he decide what he would do next. Perhaps it wasn't too late in the year to go for a swim.
