Okay he was not stalking the pretty female who dared stand up to him so many seasons ago. He was not hovering around her known frequents in hopes of running into her and he was not hoping to glimpse that damnable mask that encircled her mesmerizing eyes. She was a girl, a pampered princess, and everyone knows that girls are weak and had cooties. The thought brings forth a snort as he remembers the time he actually thought that girls carried a disease. He had told the boy from Diveen that about Zig Zag when she had carelessly left the borders. Yes, he does not on more than one occasion but only because nothing was left for him here. Yet, still he came back; still he regarded the mountain as his home just as he regarded Talisien as his brother.

A hefty boulder looms before him, daring him to pick up the pace and scale its height. ”Why not.” He mutters to himself, his voice low, before taking off on still too large paws. Despite the fact that he was nearing his second birthday his body had yet to grow into his paws and the nice little height and weight he would own as a full grown wolf. It is something that deep down he resented. He wanted to be powerful and graceful. Instead he still looked ungainly, even more so as he scrambles up the cool surface of the stone, severely miscalculating his leap. Grunting, his back paw finds a purchase and he pulls his body up, a sheepish look crossing his features for only but a moment. ”Way to go!” He utters with such disdain it is palatable.

Turning around he allows himself to enjoy the view from the height of the boulder, appreciating the way the snow hugs the pine and the way the land stretched out near the base of the mountain. It was serene and beautiful, causing a sigh full of longing to leave his lips. Alone he could be vulnerable, alone he did not have to be volatile and full of anger. Here he could just be the orphaned child who wished for a family. Perhaps that is why he had snapped at the princess so long ago. A incident he was now sorry for but would never admit it. With the thought of her he inhales, searching the frigid air for her scent, reveling in the way it chills his lungs and bites at his body. He was not really expecting to enjoy her perfume but stranger things have happened.
