But what did she do next?

Why was it that the snow’s cold touch could linger on his skin long after he had shaken off all trace of it? There was a touch of moisture in his golden pelt as some had melted to soak his fur, but only slightly so. But he could still feel it, and though the was not about to freeze just yet, he knew that there was only a matter of time before his adrenaline spiked veins would chill out and turn him from hot to cold. Blonde fur rustled as he gave a snort; avoiding looking to the direction he had come from only because the creature remained a mystery to him. The Lykoi prince was not about to take his eyes away from the thing, though it was surely too small to prove to be a threat. There seemed to be a softer hue lingering in the other animal’s eyes, and the youth was not certain if that was better or worse. He did not think he needed pity or sympathy. He should not have paraded onto the stream and slip in the first time. Well, lesson had been well learned, that was certain.

The word that described the black animal was an alien one as well, but he supposed it helped a little, at least. He kept his head low and close to his body, but could not determine why he chose to feel threatened still. There was a question of concern though, and he took a moment to pay attention to his body, but could not detect anything besides his damaged pride and pounding heart. The young boy shook his head brusquely, reluctant to maintain eye contact with this unknown creature. There were wolves and dogs and coyotes, but this cat did not look like any canines he knew of. ”That’s not a type of canine?” He did not like to feel hopeless, but he was no closer at discovering what kind of family this animal belonged to beside the fact that, as it had said, it was a cat. Paws slowly brought him closer to the smaller creature, though that was only to get away from the slippery surface of the frozen lake. He did not feel secure walking on top of ice, especially when there was the risk of water running under. He had never learned to swim, and would not risk anything without a reason.

”I’m okay,” he replied, his belated reply to the animal with the green eyes. Secure, hard soil was under his growing body now, and the youth felt some of the tension leave him. It did not mean that he was anywhere near comfortable with the presence of this creature, but he could feel curiosity rise. Nostrils flared as he drew in the feline’s scent, finding again that it was of an unfamiliar calibre. ”I’ve never seen anything like you before,” he admitted, settling on the frozen shore or the small lake that absorbed the small stream. A sigh released him, but it was merely a result of his stressed body calming down. He had survived this and would put it behind him.
