It was not long before she found the source of the noise; the dark furred male with the name of the raptor bird. Her pursuing gallop increased to a sprint as she caught the blur as a sign of urgency. She had little obligation to him, given their first encounter. But curiosity got the better of her, compelling her to follow and seek out his end.
The lands were still new under paw, hindering her stride somewhat but was quickly adapted. Her wide paws made it easy to take the earth fully beneath them and carry her bulk with relative ease. All power but little grace, as was her running pace. Nearing his shoulder, she had a mind to ask what he was running towards, but held the thought on her tongue when he turned toward her cheek.
Immediately she lept back with her ears suddenly forward and tail drawn straight. Her wide eyes caught the height and sway of his tail. He wasn’t angry but… happy? He was trying to play? She couldn’t remember the last time she was allowed. Her pace had slowed but not by much to fall too many steps behind. He was still within sight, now prancing in stride, always taunting her to follow if not to engage as well. Her heavy paws hit the ground soundly as she charge forward toward his thigh. Her tail went up to complement his playful mood while trying to nip at his heels as lightly as possible when within range. |
