Four times is once too much for luck
Stretching my legs out slightly, I decided against standing seeing as the pressure would throb my bruising even more. Way past the uncomfort I felt at the moment. I only nodded to him. “I believe we all have.” I said gently, noticing he carried the same salty windswept scent on his coat that Tembovu had. And then I began to wonder if that particular scent of his – something I had gotten so used to now, was really a scent of the Edge and not so much of the large mammoth I loved. Pushing the thought aside, blue eyes numbly watched the striped creature lower his head to mine. And he spoke again. I couldn’t help but to smile at him. He seemed to know what to say to keep my mind off of things just enough. I only nodded lightly, lifting my head to greet him – hoping to bump my velveteen nose into his own.
Then, I pulled my head back in and stood. Shaking off the yellowing blades of grass from my pelt before turning my attention to him. “Thank you. Alas, the blood isn’t mine.” I said gently, my voice carrying a slight amount of humor in the beginning only to fade out with the thought of just who’s blood it was. A small shiver rippled down my pelt and my tail whipped around my ankles in a slight annoyance before I looked over the tree lines of the Fields before turning my attention on him once more. “How have you been, Rohan? It’s been ages. You don’t smell so – outcasty anymore.” I smiled to him, humor creeping into my words again. Poking fun at the last time I saw him where he held the ideas that he didn’t want to belong to a herd. What had changed?
