the place smelt of green things, myrrh brought to a suckling boy. armand had felled a brace of rabbits and dragged them among the sweet fragranced plants to feed. the morning had brought a crackling of frost, and the golden thing knew snow would not be far behind. whether or not he survived it, armand did not care. he snapped bone between his jaws and licked at the rich marrow; he chewed absently at the flesh and lay his muzzle down across the downy skins when he had finished.
his eyelids fluttered, but armand fought sleep for the present. he finally allowed himself to sketch the proud sculpted muzzle, overlaid with the dark red fur, aureate in sunlight and curved always with a smile. but armand did not let himself think the name -- no. that was not to be done. the boy drifted into a troubled slumber with blood staining his chin and a half-etched vision in his mind.
