Expected, weary shoulder weighed beneath, their own labour assigned. Familiar this, work better than rumination, existence built around constant motion. Downfall found in this, too short the list given, voice caught as words clogged their throat, desire unspoken as mind traversed old threads.
Exploration once more had they turned to, study of this land that bore a frigid chill even as spring further closed, a fist of simmering warmth, life renewed as awaited the next season. Little addition to their expansive knowledge, meagre as it was for surface level all of it, left only with annoyance, a dark silhouette made by heavy drape along their body moved among the masses. Few those passed, smaller still the tally that cared to grace them with fleeting attention, away vision skittering, a minor nuisance each as their own mind marked each as worthless.
The smell first indication of change, heady without dilution, lips shifting though none may witness the manner teeth were exposed, caught against dark fabric. Sneeze arose, barely suppressed, head sudden in a quick shake as though the action may rid them of the aroma. It did not. Mind slow in divergence, query drawn forth, only for self posed — what was the cause.
Distance closer all too quickly, bright the hum, voices rising in a lilt laced with joy. Humourous or enjoyable this unknown that gave off such a strong scent, further piqued interest. Scene into which they stepped unexpected, momentum stilling, head twisting, turning one way and then the next. A sight all, only one spared from the brightly hued fluid, noticeable how two bore a great quantity. Vision moved between as steps began again, the spilled mess drawing attention at last, before stopping.
Out reached, ebony and ivory marred in a small amount, paw turned and inspected how it rested atop dark flesh. The desire to taste it briefly rose, tongue flicking forth, stopped as fabric was grazed. No, a poor idea, one discarded. Rather to the slumbering reptile their dark eyes turned, over his slumped frame roving, messy some and intricate others the work already done. Slow their own addition to form, a half circle with a line cutting down, lengthy the tail it was given. Upon either side of the line within the circles circumference two small dashes placed, the excess wiped off on the ground. An old symbol, one of assistance, almost pleased the light hum that bypassed curled lips.
