The Seraph's footfalls were heavy, hitching a tic with the limp of a mostly healed injury (a scuffle with a coyote) yet muffled by the silent crunch of snow packing tightly underfoot with each step.

A shiver tickled along his spine, dark coat fluffing vaguely, as the chilled liquid lapped over his paws -- liver nose twitching as he lowered a broad umber muzzle towards the waters, pale eyes locked intensely upon the sight of a fish as its shape undulated beneath the ripples dancing along the surface.

"Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt that the sun doth move; doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt I love.
