In woods so thick, so dark, crossed with greenery and fallen limbs, the groundhog had thought itself safe. There was cover everywhere! In such shadows her bleak fur turned dusky gray, and the long-legged she-wolf could bound over obstacles the frightened mammal had to climb - it hadn't had a chance. Score one for natural selection. It squeaked and fell silent when it lost its head. Ghast threw her head back and grinned. The whiskers tickled going down her throat. With one brutal motion she seized the corpse and pivoted, finding the darkest direction, then rustled through the foliage until settling a short distance away. She didn't care about the noise. She had achieved her one small victory for the afternoon. Blood touched the corners of her lips and her ears bent forward in studious concentration. The crunch of the bones symbolized one last quiet peace. She found quiet in the massacre. And she heard - beyond the beautiful silence of her mind - nothing coming, nothing suspected, not even the increasingly loud march of a male marching hopelessly through the thicket.

Ohai there Debain <3 I hope you don't mind if I revive this thread a bit. First post with Alastair =3 The starting of Alastair Sherlock's walk had gone exceedingly well. Nothing had disturbed him for approximately 9 minutes and 13 seconds now, and he was allowed to trace through the thicket in peace. There were seven thrush nests dotted around in precarious positions in the treetops that he had seen so far, and the man had not the patience to count the birds themselves. It didn't matter, did it not? Although he looked ahead, he knew everything going on around him. Having been plagued with strange (and yet, surely healthy) libidos lately, he was glad to be painlessly freed from trouble and cast away any inflections upon incunabulum. His eyes were not well focused on anything in particular, rather he saw in this periphiral vision. What lay directly ahead was tangential and he needn't busy himself with such unimportances. With a flick of his head he twisted around quite suddenly, peering back from whence he had come. A frown etched it's harsh lines into his expression. He hadn't missed anything, now, had he? No, he thought not, but the scent of another was strong in the air. He turned back to the direction of his journey and continued along the same mental route, not diverting for anything. His pads treaded skillfully upon the sponge-like ground as he flickered his attention from here to there, detecting the close-by presence of the lone wolf once again. He paused for a moment - not even a second - and determined the information of male quite easily. He sighed, and upon deciding that it was only expected to introduce himself now that his scent could surely also be smelled, uttered the word "Dull." He cast his eyes skywards and turned, away from the peace of thinking alone on his walk and towards the tedium of such an encounter as was common between lone males. He came towards the figure of the male, a dark dusty grey falling in curtains all around the masculine lone wolf, and cleared his throat. He was still a distance away, but vision was decent enough for an introduction. He looked at the man, wondering whether he could learn anything from the way he would greet him. It was often the case. He inwardly smiled to himself, and simply waited. Walk. "Talk." Think. |
