He'd never noticed... just how obvious it was before, the shift from Sky to Thunder. Even as he keeps his head down and paws rooted to Her flesh, he can notice the change. Loose needles spattered across the ground and soon petered out into nothing. Deadly points soften into supple earth. And instead, there are... sheets of speckled color. Sunburst, sunset, dawn-toned points. They litter the floor in a delicate array. Piling higher, higher, higher until they knock against each other in their eagerness to spread. Touching sight, it speaks to his soul. He can't help but halt beside them, indulge in the little game they played with each other. Fragile things. They stir with the slightest brush of his tail. Twitching, fluttering, they twirl in the air before settling once more. They were so much more pleasant than the ugly, pinprick needles of the pine.
On his way again, on his way ♪ Weave between the stumps and the stones, steady stalk towards saccharine sky; and a stumble, he nearly falls– but when he rights himself...
The most beautiful thing he's ever seen is laid out ahead of him, and it's aggravating. Intoxicating red, stem infuriatingly pristine, too-too shapely twists and turns. Nothing in the pine forest could possibly, possibly compare. Wonderfully awful, terribly divine. Careful, careful, ears pulled back and teeth bared with the utmost care, he secures the stem between his jaws. It's his, and soon, another's (he hopes).
He's undeniably pleased, and yet, undeniably angry. Dawnglare is polite where he waits, jaws dainty with the way it clasps at his treasure (for it'd be blasphemous, any damage to it). The gentle grasp of his maw conflicts with the narrowness of his eyes and the lash of his tail. Further does that confuse the excited tapping– stark white paws itching at Mother's skin. He's sorry, but it cannot be helped.
The glow of the moon sets his gift awash with color. It was so strangely red, foreboding. For now, it was only partially covered. Half-and-half, the light was confused. A strange brand of heterochromia. But with each passing moment, the blood-soaked glow became just the slightest bit more... opressive. But, that wasn't why he was here... But perhaps it'll serve to further brighten the shine of the ruddy stem. He wonder's what he'll look like, awash in red light. Dyed from head to toe. Blood-stained, spattered all over... Expectant, a mid-day gaze reaches toward the moors.
