Echoes of a Chase

Emerging from his den, Sephiran shakes the sleep from his pelt and disappears into The Polar Sound. The first light of dawn illuminated the forest, greeting him in the cool, crisp air. With fall quickly morphing into winter, it had snowed during the night- now, there was a thin sheet of ivory coating the forest floor, leaving a trail of paw prints in his wake. Storm clouds rolled in the heavens above, sprinkling snow flurries onto his back. The muffled crunch of snow beneath his paws made his approach known- his destination already chosen before he left his den.

He wanted to indulge in pleasantries with Kaino.

They hadn’t spoken much since the meeting- both preoccupied with their tasks, having little time for common conversation or events. Truthfully, Sephiran wouldn’t have noticed the disconnect, if Rhazien hadn’t pointed it out. He was always whispering in his ear- convincing him to be more active with his members. Now, that didn’t mean he was going to approach his cousin, for the sake of a mundane conversation. No, he had other means of entertainment planned for them.

Arriving at the entrance of her den, Sephiran releases a guttural rumble of dominant vocals- warning her of his arrival, not asking if it was okay to invade. Then, he’d poke his head inside- amethyst and emerald eyes adjusting to the lighting, to fall upon a massive pile of luxury furs with Kaino sprawled out in the middle. If she didn’t wake up the first time, he’d repeat the vocalization, wanting her to accompany him outside.
