What really matters

The waif stalked hurriedly through the snow, which crunched underfoot and swift betrayed her position. Her body was low, shoulders hunched -- her head slunk to the ground in the manner of a snake.

She was quick to locate Bane, her keen eyes discerning him from the soft snow about them. What bemused her, however, was his position -- at present he stood perched over a giant slab of ice that growled beneath him. "Whoops!" She cajoled, her breath expelling in a cloud in the frigid air. With serpentine grace the wraith galloped towards the icy bank.

For a moment, it looked like she was about to assist him in any way she could -- that was, until, a shade of malice descended across her black muzzle. She grinned wickedly and placed her paws on the ice that cloaked the bank -- with a heave she leaped upright and slammed her body down, cracking the ice beneath her and causing a fissure that darted quickly and ominously out into the lake.

She then watched innocently, as if some unwitting passerby. There grew upon her muzzle a sinister smile as she witnessed the ice groan and rupture. Whoops indeed.
