The sound rose without her knowing, starting first as a tickle that compelled her shoulders to quiver, then blossomed into a ringing chord- soft yet unwavering in its exuberance. Her maw parted to better release it, unable to confine the mirth wanting free.
"Oh, my friend..." she sang as laughter merrily took hold. "Only females are desired fat. The larger and more full, they better prepared to carry and nurture life." Orbs of amber and umber sparkled as they looked to the pale male, her laughter somewhat subsiding until she envisioned his toned physique round and plump with life.
She forced herself to sit to keep from toppling over in joyous fits.
"I would rather you remain as you are," she smiled to him with laughter still in her eyes. "...and age gracefully with the seasons. Stubby legs and all." Gently she raised a paw to bat lightly at his shoulder intending not to grate him with her callused digits. "But if you'd like to command the mountains as you do the earth underfoot, then I would be glad to share what I have learned with you." |
