Come Away To The Water

The fox continued to walk beside the angry river, her narrow maw pulled into a frown. She had been walking for several minutes now, and still there was no dry land to be seen. No bridges to cross. She was at a loss now.

Her steps were silent, leaving no sound but the water than ran alongside her. Which is why, when more footfalls could be heard, she stopped in her tracks. Graceful head swung about, looking for her pursuer. Instantly her argent eyes locked with a pair of verdant ones. There was a wolf following her, albeit a tiny one. This pup was not much larger than Kitsune was. Still she whirled around and took several steps back, her eyes widening as well. It was silent for a long while, save for the water and the sounds of their breathing. Her fears had been realized. Of course this pup wouldn't do her much damage, but where there were children, there were parents. Kitsune hesitantly moved her eyes to the trees and back, waiting for the larger beast to appear. Her voice was soft, and it trembled as she spoke the only words that came to mind. "Hello. Where are your parents, little one?"

As the words passed her lips, Kitsune could only hope that they were far behind, at least far enough to give the female a chance to escape.

"Speech."
Thoughts.
