WC: 340
As he remained in that crouched position, something began to happen. Tiny crystals of water started to fall from the sky above, landing on his fur and melting there. He was warmed from the fire, still. He stared pointedly at the bit of wood and branch that stood between him and the stranger, aqua eyes narrowed. He was ready to rush in if the other canine wouldn’t come out of there. It seemed that this was the case…Gideon sprang forward into the tree line, turquoise eyes searching this way and that for the make-believe canine that he had thought he’d seen standing there. Hmmm. Nothing was there. He frowned and gave a sigh of defeat, starting to turn back toward his fire when he saw it, a shape not too far away from him. It was facing the same direction as he, now, looking in the area that his fire was located at. With the trees and brush obscuring his vision it was hard to tell who or what this creature was; it looked to have six legs and an elongated body. Was this some foreign animal?!
Gideon’s eyes widened considerably when he realized exactly who and what was standing in the browned grasses in the distance. The outline of the horse was now obvious to him as he took a few steps closer to the figures, squinting to try and make them out better. A brown wolf stood next to the horse, crouched in a defensive position. It seemed that Saul had caught on to him just as he had seen the other male. Gideon blinked a few times, unsure of how to approach the situation. He could just wander back to his fire, gather his things, and leave if he didn’t want to see his brother…and he did consider that option for a fleeting second. He couldn’t do that. Who would know when he would get to see Saul again? ”You looking for someone special?” He said in low, rough voice as he stepped closer to the pair.
