Verdant Basin A thing or two

her curled tail fluttered as she was launched back into reality.
footsteps crunching through the snow, making their way along the lakeside to her.
she hesitated. then turned her head at the deep chuff.
mismatched eyes met a rugged man, seemingly older than her from the white creeping in along his muzzle.

a thick black band hung about his neck. she blinked. human.
her lips pursed, but she turned to face him and her tail twitched again in a feeble wag. friendly.

his air felt heavy, much like her own. his own eyes shadowed with the pains of life.
her brow creased, trying to figure him out before she greeted him. to engage him.
"quite a winter, huh." who didn't like a quick comment on the weather.

"hard, isn't it." her looked back out across the lake. god, it was so enticing.
but she really couldn't. she had business with the Saints. and more importantly, Kynareth.
she wanted her husband.
