Take me higher

The warmth of the day was softened against the surface of the day and cooled against its bulk. It sparkled also on its surface, casting golden shadows against the pale coat of the brute. He would let out a gentle, content sigh at the feel of the water against him. He could never get over at how different he felt within the embrace of water. His attention however was centred on the gentle female beside him and at her broken words his ears would pull ever so slightly back and he would move his head to nuzzle the side of her's gently. There was so much effort in her broken smile that it was hard to break free of the pain that blossomed in his chest. They made gentle progress towards the bank of the lake once more and he pulled himself free with a feeling of reluctance to leave its serenity. He shook out his coat again in a few determined shakes as she asked her question. ?We wont leave pack lands? He promised her, he wouldn't pull her from the safety of the pack in her current state, that he knew beyond a doubt. He moved his head towards hers again, as through he could transfer strength and life through the gentle touch of his nose against her cheek. ?The top of Whisperer's Gorge, in fact, where we can look down at the stream that runs through it? He explained himself, and pulling himself away he started off at a light walk, his wet paws crouching against the sun-warmed grass beneath him A short while later they where ascending the rocky terrain that brought them above Whisperer's Gorge. He could feel the nerves buzzing in his chest and his paws drew against the ground a little harder with every step as through with each step to towards that drop he grew in weight and reluctance. Despite his tourmal, he could not let his unease show. They where going here to lighten the mood and to see if he could find her some measure of peace and freedom again against this earth. They made it to the top and placed himself against the earth a little distance from the drop. He rolled on his back and looked up at the warmth of the open sky above them and closed his eyes, making a gentle humming noise in the back of his throat as he felt the wetness of his fur heat against him. ?Do you like the view?? He asked, althrough he himself had made no move to admire it. "Speech" |
