Her progress was slow as was the intention of a stroll. Time remained at her disposal even as she ignored it and the minutes frittered away to hours. The cold continued its steady creep across the lands, offering little snow and partly clouded view of the heavens above. It would make for a difficult time in star-gazing, but it might offer a different view than the clear windows from earth to the glittering lights as emerged.
A sound pulled the female's gaze from the sky to the earth, and from there around to the pursuit of something other.

Acute auds descended gradually til they rested against her crown, then sprang forward again to the tune of nothing as her tail too danced with a casual sway.
She offered no word for a moment, simply stared at the face, the withered body before her. Carefully her peered down at the male's weathered paws noting with a minute interest how worn and clipped they appeared to be. A wanderer that at last found his rest, perhaps. |
