Redhawk Caldera growing black irises in the sunshine

Needs to get ready for work. Throws up quick thread. B)

Rest did a body good but Njal wasn't the type to keep still; he was up at the crack of dawn and trundling through the territory as morning took root. By the time the afternoon hit, he had done a patrol of the northern reaches of the territory, and was returning to the lakeside. It was a cloudy day, but not a terrible one - the clouds were thick and bilious like cotton, and shining white against the vibrant blue of the sky. There was a bit of wind too, and the strange warmth of the air was making him uncomfortable - perhaps he'd go for a swim? Or check out the lake for real. There had to be something of value in the water aside from.. Well.. Water. With a slight hunger growing in the pit of his belly, Njal traced a route along the lake's edge until he found a suitable place to rest and watch, and then settled in place, with the hope that the lake wasn't totally void of life.
