it's that same old song

For @Dovev and @Galileo if they have the time! But AW

Scimitar paced the creek edge, his eyes drifting to the frigid looking waters. His breath furled in to the cool air, knowing the brisk dusk would only become colder. The sun nestled itself at the edge of the Sunspire, slowly spiralling down to tuck itself in for the night. Pink and orange highlighted sparse bits of purple and navy across the sky, and had it been any other time, the Alpha might have taken the quiet moment to reflect upon its beauty.

But his mind was upon Paarthurnax. The life that stirred in her belly could not be a secret for long, and while he had trailed her path after she had first crossed the borders to see if any had followed her, he could not keep his concerns tucked in for long. He had hoped to wait for his outriders' return from the Glacier, but.. How long could he wait for?

Lifting his muzzle to the sky, the cinnamon Frostfur called for two of the creek's members -- one, his counsellor of sorts, Galileo, and the other, a warrior he felt he could trust. Of course, others were within the ranks of the Creek that he could trust.. But for now, he wanted the opinion of these two.

As his howl died down, the male waited, a chuff escaping him. They needed to be proactive in this situation, he felt.. Not just reactive.
