Take a chance

Walk | Talk | Think Lebrah was off and running about on some grand adventure of his, one that she at least had been given fair warning about this time, and though she worried about how far he might go and what he might find along the way Anais had allowed it. She was rarely ever without his company, and though she cherished having him around, particularly as a small beam of sunshine when her world had become so dark and gloomy, she still needed time alone. Her siblings were more than willing to help with Espirit - she suspected they could tell when it was taking a toll on her - but Lebrah was her responsibility only. Being without him was entirely his choice and no one else's. Which made her special time alone even more special. She walked without purpose through the woods outside of her den, enjoying her moment of quiet as she wondered what she ought to do. Her legs itched with the need to move, to stretch and exert herself as she used to when she trained as a hunter. Maybe that was what she ought to do with her time. It had been much too long since she had last went about a hunt that was solely to practice the skill, regardless of the prize that awaited her at the end of the chase. She had about made up her mind when she heard the deep howl stretching across the Fjord, calling her name and beckoning her to it. It startled her at first, making her stop in her tracks with a perplexed look - who could be calling for her by name? - but in only a second the answer came to her. Glacier. A while had passed since their initial meeting, but he was not the type one could easily forget. Standing tall as a mountain, blue as the deepest part of the sea, and with eyes like frost he was a shocking, intimidating creature to behold, but his demeanor had been nothing but soft and warm and occasionally teasing. Almost immediately Anais felt her nervousness returning, a shy flutter within her chest, but despite it she moved to answer him, unable to ignore his call. As she followed the echoing remnants of his summons, she forgot about her thoughts of a hunt, forgot that she had time for herself at last. She could only wonder what had drawn him back, and why he had thought to call for her again. Her eager paws trotted swiftly through the woods that were familiar to her, bringing her to the lake and out where she could see his dark, massive form standing beside the still chilly water. The grey and gold girl was no less awestruck seeing him for a second time than she had been the first, though this time she did not try to hide. She might have still retained some of her nervousness, her head somewhat low and her tail too though it wagged, but the small, puzzled smile upon her face was pleasantly surprised. "Hi," she muttered as a greeting as she slowed to a stop before him, pausing just a moment before she asked with obvious curiosity, "What are you doing here?" |
