Against the sandy colored grasses and low brush Jael's flawless, snowy coat stuck out violently. However, at present everything was colored in faded shades of monochrome shadow as the sun had not yet fully risen. The sky was a dark blue, flawless save the pink and orange clouds tinted by the yet hidden sun. The west was a deep navy shade, while the east was colored the pale, bright shade near what would be seen in the afternoon, with gradient colors between. Birds had begun their song hours ago, crickets still chirping in the long grass even through the dawn. Slinking through the brush, Jael snapped playfully at an insect that flew inches from his muzzle. Still a puppy, not yet grown into an adult wolf, he had his moments where age showed through the protective mask that life had begun to develop over his interior.
Tail swishing behind his back like a cat, he lowered his body to the ground and eyed the cricket in a predatory manner. Leaping, he snatched it up in his jaws, immediately regretting his actions as bitter innards exploded into his mouth. Spitting, he wrinkled his muzzle, reminding himself to to never eat a cricket again. Boredom overtook, followed by laziness, and Jael found himself curled up beside a rock, nearly hidden in the grass save the brilliant coloring of his coat. Eyes closing against the sunrise, he yawned and buried his muzzle in his tail, planning to nap for a few hours before finding something else to occupy his time.[/html]
