a whole new world

His immediately goal was to explore the grove, perhaps scope out a good spot for them to rest or even another place they could seek shelter for the next evening, and then to find Kangi. She was so beautiful when she slept, a picture of serenity so lovely he didn't dare disturb. Rest was important for them both and he knew she needed all she could get. Winter was coming soon and it would be vital they were healthy and strong to make it through yet another cold season without the protection of a pack. Though the grove was quiet, it was not without the gentle rustling of leaves and foliage. The wind was light today, whirling delicately through the bushes and flinging colorful leaves to and fro with ease.

A long moment of silence followed as his silver gaze searched the surroundings. Perhaps Kangi was near? Gingerly he lifted his snout to the sky, inhaling deeply. It was not her scent but certainly another lingered nearby. A long moment would pass before he would move again, seemingly frozen in place, paralyzed by sudden anxiety and uncertainty. "Hello?" he called out timidly. He hoped another had simply been passing through -- for he couldn't see anyone, and why would they be hiding? It was unsettling to know he wasn't alone here and he found an involuntary whimper slipping from his throat as he peered about his surroundings. |
