white winter hymnal [rhythm]

The creature blinked, enjoying the peaceful quiet which he’d been granted to survey his surroundings in. He traced the nearest monoliths with his eyes, following along the pleasingly even forms until he came to the ground, or another rock. He felt he could stare until every last one had been absorbed into his mind. He was given another minute to stand in silence, perfectly still and submitting to the world around, before his attention was caught by an approaching figure. He shifted slightly, easing his weight to one side and cocking his head a tad as he watched the details of the stranger manifest with the shrinking of distance.

The other grew closer and closer, and didn’t seem to notice him. The fact became more apparent when the wolf came within a good yard of him, and gave him no hint of awareness. Nagendra leaned slightly on his perch, looking with curious eyes and lifted brows. Sniffing the air softly, he drew in what information he could. A pretty female, he observed. Her fur was dark brown like his own, but whereas he was more dashed with darker markings, she had lighter ones. Her eyes were a beautiful blue. His curious expression swiftly changed to amused as she walked right passed him! A charming smirk danced across his face, and he was about to call out, wanting to meet her, when the grace of the moment was completely obliterated.

In one sudden move, her foot had caught on something and she went down. Nagendra jumped slightly, gasping as his smirk vanished and his green eyes widened once again. It sounded like she had hit something.  ”Oh my!” He leapt from his place on the rock down on to the grass, seeking out her form with a worried gaze. She seemed to try to stagger to her feet, only to go down again with a whine. ”Oh dear,” Nagendra said to himself, his heart pounding from the start her tumble had given him. He trotted over, disregarding personal space for the moment as he stood over her and twisted his muzzle this way and that, searching for anything serious. ”Are you alright? Can you hear me, sweetie?” He stepped back a fraction of a pace, then glancing around to see if she had been alone. He probably would’ve seen another from atop the rock, but you never knew. Oh, he didn’t know much about medicine and fixing people. What was he going to do if this was serious?
