Sunset Valley [the x-files theme song]

The bark does little to draw his attention. Ears cup forward, faintly unsure if he heard something at all, and he slowly lifts his head. Yellow eyes shift across the valley and his head swings like a horse until he spots the dark speck against a dull green and white background. Even if he's not certain about the bark entirely, he's got company and he can't help but lift his head just a little. He's not going to appear weaker than he feels if he can help it.

Careful movements pick up on foot, then the other, and he starts to cross the distance that remains between them. He's not so starved and weakened that he still can't get by for a while yet but his paws are weary enough to tell him it's really not a good idea. Lex swallows the lump in his throat when he's close enough he doesn't have to yell. The white male chuffs in a low voice.
