Will you hold the line?

One with the shadows of the wraith's woods, the dark earthen male stalks a black rabbit. His bright piercing blue eyes gleam in the darkness like two moons reflecting the last modicum of light in the stark shades. Before him, the little ebony creature is unsettled and lifts its nose toward sounds coming from the pool of water around a corner.

Eltrys is also distracted and flicks his ears forward as he hears the sound of swimming. His subtle movement spooks the lupine and it bolts for nearby underbrush. He sighs, he'll get that bunny sooner or later.

He pads toward the water and lingers behind the brush to spy upon the swimmer for just a moment. He blinks as he sees a woman enjoying her swim and seems content in it. He felt his mouth go dry and realized he had been salivating over the rabbit earlier and hadn't had a good drink in a while.

Casually he breaks from the underbrush and approaches the water. He gives a cordial nod to the other, not intending to interrupt her swim, and dips his head down to lap.

He lifts his muzzle from the water and stands at the shore, " You must be enjoying it, you look tranquil." He remarks with a swish of his dark tail. The girl has a ripped ear, he wonders how recent it must be.

"Speech!"
