Take a Break

Walk | Talk | Think

The quiet of the valley was getting to her, and she could feel it starting to settle about her body. It was there in the sudden heaviness of her eyelids as they began to droop over her vibrant green eyes, in the steadying of her breath as they became more relaxed and even, and made the rest of her suddenly feel very restful. Yes, this was a delightful stolen moment away from Yfir, so very different than the active training and hustle and bustle of pack life. If she allowed herself to, she very easily could have slipped into a nap here, let herself drift away into a light slumber to enjoy the quiet...

...or be interrupted by someone coming her way. What remained of her ears shifted, stirred, doing their best to pinpoint where it was the sound was coming from around her. It was practically by some miracle that she had been able to hear the creature's approach at all, and groggily the brown yearling opened her eyes to stare straight ahead into the grasses before her paws. No, if she wanted to find this creature she was going to need to fully wake up.

With a quick intake of breath and a stifled yawn, Bearcub pushed off the ground with her forepaws and sat herself up where once she had been lying down. Though her vision was still somewhat bleary from rest, she turned her head to either side until she spotted the darkly clad wolf, a wraith amid the Emerald Valley. Only twin eyes of golden amber appeared to interrupt his coloration, but what Bera noted more readily was his shape. He was not very impressively tall, nor did he carry the bearing of a fighter.

Just a little she straightened herself up more, her lanky frame sitting proudly as the stranger finished his stroll toward her and took a seat opposite to speak a charming hello. "Hello," she answered with the proper cordiality, offering nothing else just yet. Instead she remained straight, strong, like the sentinel that she wished to become. And for some reason she did not entirely believe it would be enough to put him off from further striking up a conversation with her.
