A Momentary Rest

Psalm's awareness of the woman was rather dull as he couldn't even spy her from a few feet away, though he knew he had to be getting somewhat closer to her elusive form. Dark and white paws shuffled through the grass indiscreetly until his ears took in the sound of her bark. It wasn't in fear that his features shot up from the grass and impossibly bright blue eyes searched for her form. She was hunkered in the grass, tail flipping in annoyance like some kind of cat. His features would brighten at the same time, eager to encounter a new face and willfully ignorant of the potential danger he'd just encountered.

Had he been any younger the boy would have surely bound up to the stranger and lavished his affections upon her, but the time in Jupiter's pack had changed him enough that now he refrained from that physical contact he'd so eagerly given as a small child. Still black tipped ears would perk, attentions on her as he would give her a simple, "Hai!" with a grin that was much too big for his face.
