Here we go~ Lemme know if you wanna change the date or something?
As the night fell, the pale moon provided little light for the male to see by; the vast trees that surrounded him blocked any light the moon reflected and cast him into shadows. It wasn’t his first time in the dense forest, but never before had he noticed how silent the place was; almost eerie. Every living soul seemed to have fallen asleep or were spending time in a less spooky place, and yet he had chosen to spend the night wondering the dark forest to simply kill time.
Since he had moved to Dahlia de Mai he had been slowly reducing the amount of alcohol he consumed on a daily basis and generally keeping a low profile. Maybe it was fear of being rejected or fear of causing a problem, but he found him distancing himself from his pack once more; but this time he planned to dig his heels in and make things work, to get to know his fellow pack makes and make a home for himself.
Despite how much he depended upon the burning liquid, he was surviving without it and now that he’d managed to give it up, he was going to go all the way and get his life back in order. Considering how he’d spent most of his time intoxicated, maybe that was why he had never noticed before how quite and peaceful the forest was at night.
A whispering sound; so silent that he almost overlooked it, reached his ears. It was the sound of running water. With a sudden impulsiveness, he altered his course and weaved his way through the dark trees and sought out the source of water. As he walked, he sped up until he reached a comfortable jog, crunching the debris that scattered the ground as he moved with little grace.
Eventually, he broke through the trees that enclosed around him and entered a small opening; in the centre was a small pool connected to a few streams. Through the gap in the trees the moons light filtered through and lit the place up, in contrast to the rest of the area.
Standing there, he simply took in the sight before him in silent wonder. Closing his ice blue eyes, he threw back his head and hummed a quite tune; a wordless lullaby.
