Routine, worn beneath the ceaseless course of time as though it proved nought but a stone caught beneath the turbulent waves of an ocean. Within some corner shadowed by the prior events his mind crumbled, broke beneath pressure slow to build, accumulating as the seconds gathering into the structure of minutes. Quiet had he grown, silenced a tongue that had stumbled over the base structure of simplistic words contained in a simple vocabulary, breathing hitching with each breath, the salty tang of tears dancing across his tongue. The weight of what seemed an infinite stretch of time coiled atop the slumped shoulders, brittle the silver covering melting away into the heavy mane of alabaster holding tight the thin line of his throat, hiding the tight clench of his jaw.
Few and far the time between each word he had offered, tone lacking the faint heat of bite masking the tremor of sorrow, fragile the armour he clutched to himself, a life line within a time that proved turbulent. Breath caught behind the cage of teeth, delicate points parting before it pushed forth in a gentle exhale, next taken a gasp sputtering upon its next exit. Paw lifted, so small the tiny thing toned within shadings of silver discoloured by particles of brown lingering between each fine strand, soft the pads no matter the make-shifting cover. Hardened some had they become, split and cracked beneath wear Dakota was unaccustomed to – flickering memory, the softness of a back covered in heavy fluff toned in shadings of orange and yellow, the very paw he lifted pressing into his neck with its brethren, bright the laughter bubbling forth.
“Hungry...” Gentle voice arose amongst the din, swallowed within those lifted to volumes he may never wish to reach, breaking apart with a huff of breath. Twist of features, spill of tears gathering upon the soft point of his chin, patter of them upon paws slow in their progress towards his chest, tucked beneath him. Dejected the small eevee, a bundle of fluff settled amongst the darkly toned rubble, a bright spot fluffed up until he seemed nothing more then a discarded item allowed the chance to bypass time with minimal changes.
