Stone Circle sweet, sweet, love you lots

There was fresh snow on the ground! Not much, but enough that King felt carefree and energized that afternoon when he woke - earlier than usual, but late enough that the sun was settled just so in the sky, so that the snow blazed all around the territory like pure, molten gold.

His breath was a fine, silver plume as he panted his joy, streaking through the territory in search of someone to share such a beautiful afternoon with. When he came upon that comely girl from the borders, he slowed and announced himself with a cheerful woof of greeting and an inviting wag of his tail. What a fine day, isn't it? he said by way of greeting.
