Nocturne Summit the spine can't decide between the earth and the sky

She does not look at the goat in the same way he does and he knows that look fondly. Most of his life he’s been able to walk by prey without a second glance but the last few weeks he’s been out on his own, it takes much more energy when all your kills are smaller.  It doesn’t take long to pick your battles as a lone wolf but an extra body for something sizeable would benefit him but her gaze never changes from simple observation. But asking to go after it? He doesn’t even know her name and he doesn’t want to risk losing his newest companion so soon, not when she trusts enough to lead him around a little while closer to their home.
 
Eventually, he suspects she’ll deter him elsewhere before they get too close. He brushes the goat from mind and follows behind in her slow steps, maintaining whatever speed she desires to move. Spring is turning into summer and the fruits of the season are around the corner as the young prey wanders a little too far from home. Another day, Atlantis can find something to fill his stomach but he can’t guarantee his spot with the enigma leading him downward.
