Moonspear the puppet show

Caelum, meanwhile, walked straight through the rain. It had been light at first, but it got harder and harder and slowly it was beginning to soak through his fur. He hadn't realised it, not before; experience taught him that he could withstand the rain... At first. With a grunt the black boy realised that he was starting to get wet on his skin, a sensation that he didn't remember having before. He saw a tree in the distance, and decided that he would go there for some shelter.

Upon arrival at the tree, Caelum saw there was another there; one of his relatives. He noticed this very late because he was not looking for someone else -- probably far past when Sialuk noticed his approach -- though Caelum did not show his surprise very much, his face stoic and calm. He chuffed in greeting, even though by that time he was maybe two meters away from Sialuk -- an automatic response, and the only off thing that might betray that he was startled at all.
