[color=f6989d][sub][h1]ᴊᴜᴊᴜ[/h1][/sub][/color] A solid hour has passed already, and my efforts were all for naught. I chose to sit down just a few minutes ago and watch but now I'm growing bored and -to be entirely honest- impatient with him. "Please Augen, don't do this to me. We're almost there. Come back!" My over-sized kitten was currently about elbow deep the river and absolutely refuses to come out. Although he wouldn't know what to do with it afterwards, he's trying to catch some of the fish swimming through the rushing water. Stupid cat. He's only ever managed to catch [i]one[/i] in his life out of the dozens of attempts he's made but he can never be discouraged of anything. Just distracted. We ran out of treats the other day so there goes that option. I looked around and tried to think of something I hadn't already done but came up with (surprise) nothing. Another sigh furls into the air and I get up, dusting off my pants. "Alright I'm leaving" I announce, as if he understands what I'm saying. The feline continues to play happily in the water and I turn around to step back onto the trail connecting the villages. Despite rumors, the forests around here are pretty safe but unfortunately too many people believe the silly gossip so the untouched path is starting to become covered by the growing foliage. Hoping this plan works, I deliberately refrain from looking over my shoulder and resume my trek along the traveler's route. It's a quiet walk. There's a soft crunch beneath my feet for even the slightest movement, and the local birds are singing their little hearts out. But the noises are much more pleasing than that of rambunctious bazaars and or anyplace else that has a large crowds. I don't have a problem with villagers but sometimes its nice to just take a step back and enjoy the nature. Sure enough, a few minutes later, I can hear Augen even before he runs along to brush his head under my palm. I chuckle and runs my fingers through his fur. "You big baby." He purrs loudly before running ahead to explore. I can't see anything from here yet but I think we're almost at the village. [hr][color=10161d][sub][h1]ɴᴏɪʀ[/h1][/sub][/color] [TBD]
