But it was only a moment and she was straightening again.
A subtle change in the winds brought her new scents that lit her eyes with curiosity. She turned to face them, breathing them in and analyzing for herself what they might be. For a brief glance, she looked to him again. He stared back impassively. When she wordlessly invited him to follow, he still only stood. Watching.
And then they both turned, and walked their separate ways.
