l'esprit de l'escalier

The young wanderer had slipped from his mother's gaze again. Only this time, he had managed to make his way farther than many of his siblings had been since they had begun to wander. He had managed even to leave the lands of Glaciem behind without detection, and had escaped to this curious place. It was a rocky land, not nearly as snowy as the world that he had inhabited before this, and one that provided a lot of entertainment for a young pup such as Tiberious. Bounding along without a care in the world, he leaped from rock to rock to rock, tail wagging enthusiastically as he stuck out like a sore thumb against the landscape. He was not the most sneaky of creatures, but this curious youngster had never truly attempted to be sneaky. It would likely be difficult for him to sneak around for his entire life; his white fur would stand out anywhere other than Glaciem's lands, and his markings made him stand out against the white snows of Glaciem anyways. Distracted as he was, Tiberious moved without a care in the world until a loud rumble echoed in the air. The young pup let out a startled yip and raced backwards, escaping the path of a rock slide only narrowly. A pebble rolled up to hit his paws and Tiberious glanced down at it nervously, ears flattening against his skull. "That was close," Tiber breathed, scooting back a few steps as the rocks began to settle around him. He could have easily been crushed. Instead, he had narrowly escaped the path of the massive rocks. And that didn't bother him as much as it should have. Instead, he just wanted to explore more! Beginning to leap onto the massive rock pile, Tiberious' white tail waved enthusiastically behind him as he moved. Speech |
