Dayton listened sincerely as August seemed to make up his mind on the subject. He decided to move on with his life, and if fate brought his cousins to him, so be it. There was a soft smile on his maw as the other male turned away and waded into the cold water. Dayton felt his ear flick to the side in surprise, his head tilting at an angle. "Um, how does that feel, exactly?" It had been his goal to avoid the freezing river, what with the dropping temperatures and everything. The frail boy would never survive winter with a cold. But now, as he watched the larger brute walk deeper, he decided to give it a try. He walked closer to the edge and lifted a paw, gingerly touching it to the surface. Instantly a shiver rocked through him. Was this boy crazy? Apparently so, for he seemed to continue even further, peering through the active waterfall at what might lie beyond. Could there have been a cave back there? Curiosity tugged at the edges of his mind, of course, but there had to be a better way to get back there. Dayton certainly wasn't going to skip right through the torrent of frozen water like that. So what was August up to? |
