there's an albatross around your neck

The laughter was entirely missed by the oblivious male, whose thoughts were still focused entirely inwards. In fact, Altavro didn't notice the presence of another until he had all but tripped over her. The feminine scent that he was just now picking up on was rather strong, and Altavro found himself blinking as he looked around curiously, only to spot the wolf that lay sprawled out in the surf mere inches from his front paws. Altavro jumped a little at that, nostrils flaring as he sniffed the air. It was hard to pick up on much around the scent of the water, but the white figure was definitely female. And quite possibly dead. She wasn't even twitching as the water lapped at her paws and tail, which spurred the wolf to pad a few steps closer, attempting to nose the figure that lay sprawled in the sand. "Miss?" Altavro's voice was careful as he drew back, regardless of whether or not his muzzle connected with her body. "Are you alright?" What a stupid question. If she was really dead or comatose, she wasn't going to answer. And yet, if he wasn't mistaken, her chest was rising and falling, which certainly ruled out death. But she could still be comatose. Or asleep. Or any manner of not-alright. It was, however, equally possible that she was just fine and laying in the sand just for fun. The wolves of this land made no sense. Ears pricked in the other wolf's direction, Altavro allowed his gaze to wander just a little. He wasn't sure what was going on with her, but staring at her wasn't going to change anything, and if the other needed any medical attention, he was going to need to be able to locate the closest place to find any applicable herbs. It was unlikely that he'd find much growing in the immediate vicinity, but Altavro's gaze scanned the horizon anyways. This kind of thing always seemed to happen in the most inopportune places. Couldn't wolves get hurt in slightly more convenient places? Did they have no sense of common courtesy? |
