[html]sorry for the wait! school is just slowing down now.
The sun generated enough heat that day to give the illusion of warmth, but winter was only biding her time. Waiting patiently to sprinkle snow over the ground, freeze the rivers and cover the whole world in frost. So cold and deadly winter could be, a truly cruel mistress so far north, but Pripyat had yet to meet the fair weathered lady, and so he could only rejoice in the fact that when he left the ranch the sun soaked into his fur and warmed his muscles. It was a good day indeed to just wander about and enjoy the air, and it was this aimless wander than brought him to the fields. The horses were out, which was not an unusual sight. And there was another in the field with them, which also was not strange, but the figure that stood there was indeed a stranger.
For a long while he watched the lady, patting and stroking the hooved animals. Her mannerisms with them were so warm and kind that he almost didn't wish to disrupt them, as if it were a private matter he was looking in on. Yet patting the last one and sending it away she stood there alone, and the lanky boy strode over to her, his ocean eyes wide and sparkling as he approached. When he was only a few yards away he cleared his throat and stood as straight as possible, politely interrupting her solitude as best as he knew how. "Excuse me miss. Hello?" And then he sat, curling his fluffy tail about oversized paws, waiting patiently for her to turn and acknowledge him.
