Zeitgeist sat next to the river and stared contemplatively into the flowing water. For once Guillotine and Ptolemy, the boy and the bird he traveled with respectively, weren't to be seen hovering near him. That didn't mean the they weren't around though. No, Z had tucked the pup and avian creature into bed to take a nap. Zeitgeist had made certain that the cabin in which he had left the duo to rest was far enough away from the river to prevent wash out while still close enough for him to be able to keep an ear on what was going on and allow for him to get there quickly should there be trouble.
Zeitgeist pulled a large metal coin from the pocket of his vest. He easily threaded the coin through his fingers, walking it across his knuckles. It was simply something to so while he let his mind wander. He had been spending his time teaching Guillotine everything that he knew in the amount of time that they had left together but there were just some lessons that couldn't be delivered. The boy couldn't speak so how could Z teach hi, just what it was that the older male excelled at? The boy couldn't spark up a conversation which often left it seeming as if Z was talking to himself. Zeitgeist had got the African Grey in hopes of alleviating that but while the bird could talk it didn't keep up conversation either.
Zeitgeist glanced back over his shoulder, off towards the cabin in which Guillotine and Ptolemy were, as he thought he heard something. But seeing nothing the male focused on the moving water once more. Z had to wonder if it had been such a good idea to leave Europe or not. All of this quiet open space bored the older male but he had no idea if his charge might be enjoying it at least. Even so there hadn't been anything back in England left for Zeitgeist. The lack of bustle was definitely something to get used to.
Be sure to come around, I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown,
like pierrot the clown.
