Listen to the Music

The loud, annoying birds had flown away all at once. Now Series was left alone in the water, grinning up at the sky. Beautiful birds continued to sing in the background. He had just begun to turn and leave the swampy water when a voice sounded through the jumble of songs. It was a male voice, he realized as it met his ears. "So joyous! What lifts your spirits so stranger? And what is your secret?"

The words this stranger spoke only caused another bright laugh to enter the air. Series felt his smile widen even more, his damp tail dancing in the air. "Good day to you, sir," he greeted, bowing low enough to dip his chin into the water. The laughter continued to pass his lips, free and open. "I will tell you that I have no secret. Happiness comes naturally to some. Others must find it for themselves."

The sandy brute stepped a bit deeper into the water, abandoning his original plan to leave. He smiled once more at the other male and spoke, "Come find a little happiness, friend. What's your name, by the way?" Series Destruction let his golden gaze shine, welcoming the black and grey boy into the water with him. This would be so much more fun with company.
