What To Do

With her little chipmunk friend no longer looking her way seeking her attention, Serene let her mind wander, glancing up and around with a quiet sigh. It was too bad he had stopped their game when he had. She rather enjoyed the game of hide-and-seek that she often initiated, all at his expense. Never did it really occur to her what stress she was placing him under, though sometimes it was evident in his eyes, and being alone for as long as she had been she was so used to doing her own thing and getting away with it. Living with Rhys was still a learning experience, and the blue girl was still adjusting.

Her brown eyes stared absently ahead as her tail thumped in a quiet rhythm at her side, lending evidence to her desire to get up and move again. Maybe more tracking, but this time something else. Something that she could eat without feeling bad about it. Yep. That did sound good.

Rising to her paws, Serene gave no notice to Rhys of what she had decided, simply beginning to turn in place as she directed her gaze on a new course. Behind her the little chipmunk chattered on to himself, at least until he heard the sound of her steps beginning to be taken away from where he sat upon the ground. "Hey!" he called uselessly - he had long since determined her disability - "Hey, wait!" Frantically he scurried after her, her strides not yet long enough to leave him very far behind, and with some effort he managed to catch up to her, realizing as he did that her lack of actual progress away from her starting point had been because she had noticed another wolf.

A moment of instinctual panic invaded the little creatures body at the sight of the other wolf, knowing he held no association with this one and that it likely would have no qualms about making a snack out of him. But Serene was unfazed. She had stopped mere feet from where she had begun to widen her eyes and stare at another passerby as he walked past. For all intents and purposes, he hardly looked as if he intended to stop and mingle, continuing along past where she now stood though she was curious whether he had spotted her or not, and a new thought suddenly occurred to her. Maybe she could try tracking of a different sort...

Slinking down into a creeping sort of posture, Serene fell into step behind the male, allowing him a lead while she patiently traveled in his wake. At her side, desperately trying to get her to look at him, Rhys hurried to keep up and struggled to wave his hands, jump, whisper though she could not hear it, "Serene! Serene, stop! You don't know who he is! This is dangerous, don't!"
