The sun was high in the sky as the shadow trotted towards the river. As blackened tongue snaked out over dry lips, his ears swiveled, funneling noises around him into his perked ears. Yet only the noise of water underneath the ice reached him, and he bent down to take a drink.
Pawing at the ice, his brows furrowed, and he moved down. Slurping was heard as he found an opening. He flicked his ear, the wind going through the split irritating him. That only made it worse, and a rumble in his chest attested to his frustration. Putting his head down, he rubbed his ear with his foreleg roughly, the itching settling. For now. He shook himself out, the irritation gone feeling good as he went back to drinking.
