Anthem was distracted, enthralled by the change in the season, enraptured by the light dusting of snow that had begun to fall from the sky above. It was pretty and light and it reminded him of home, and so his paws would carry him away from Ludicael, his attention drifting from one flake to the next as he walked. He was hardly looking at the ground below, instead stumbling forth with unabashed interest and joy at the first snowfall of the season in these lands.
His movements were uncoordinated and mildly childlike in their carelessness, as he left his home territory and ventured toward the plains. Though it was no longer quite as lovely as it had been months before, it was still nice; some hint of green grass remained, and the earth was not yet frozen solid. A gleeful laugh would escape Anthem Destruction's lips as he continued on. Often he was quite unfocused and even flighty, especially when not in the presence of his family. And today was such a day, and he was so wrapped up in the complexities of his own mind that he hardly noticed the presence of another. And when he did, he was confused and somewhat alarmed -- pausing in his tracks to gape and stare. She lay alongside a river, something he had yet to notice either. A bark escaped his lips as he alerted her of his presence, unsure what her reaction might be to him.
