Stone Circle And I will sing a lullaby

He didn't notice the way she'd had to stop and swallow hard- he'd already pattered on ahead, and flicked an ear back when he heard her call out, reassuring him that she would come with him. He whined eagerly, and waited for her to catch up, sensing somehow that something was off, though willing enough to assume that she was likely just tired because he'd decided to rouse her in the very middle of the night. 

"Shhhhh," He coached quietly, bobbing his head to cue her forward. He didn't want to give away what he'd seen- but when he moved ahead, it was with a lowered posture, ears flicked back. They could use the rolling hillside to their advantage, but he knew as soon as they reached the stone circle, they would be more exposed. 

The stone appeared in the distance, lit gently by the moonlight. He could hear and smell the bison now, and looked to Tauris to gauge her reaction. Still out of sight over the horizon, the greatest surprise was yet to be discovered. Bison were one thing- but a whole herd of moonlight-silver bison was quite an event.
