With my speechless calm eyes,
nothing is coming to rise.
Before he knows it he finds himself – or more like he feels the water tickling his legs – standing in the water. His relief of finally having found something to drink is the only thing on his mind right now. There had been a time at which he would be constantly ware of everything around him. Even the tiniest sound would make his ear twitch, the lightest breath of air brushing against his skin would make him dance sideward and his nose, it would tell him whenever someone was approaching. But it is as if they no longer work.
Brynmor is unaware of the danger that lies still in the water. Perhaps it was the new world, or perhaps it was that he had only been familiar with the Tundra and her habitants. His ears don’t pick up the tiniest sound of the movement of water, only his thirst counts. A content, relieved sigh escapes from pale lips as he lifts his head, droplets of water falling down to mingle with the river’s surface again. His unseeing gaze stares in the nothing across the river.
Her sudden shout has him stumbling backwards, tripping over his own legs and whatever was in his way. By the time he comes to a halt his head his high up in the air, ears twitching around almost nervously and his nostrils flaring widely. His empty gaze glances around, finding nothing of course. ”Who’s there?” he asks, the insecurity clearly audible in his voice. Once, once Brynmor had been confident. He hadn’t been the quickest, or the smartest, but he had been able to survive.
It is only when he holds his breath that he hears the swoshing movement of the water, something swimming away. The voice that had called out to him, that told him to be careful, clearly didn’t belong to that something. Brynmor is shaking, graying form moving on his place nervously, as he tries to locate the girl – now he was aware of her presence he actually smelled her. His ears never rest, as his graying head and pale blue eyes move around, eventually stopping to look in the way he guess she’s in, but he has never felt less accurate. ”W-what’s going on?”
BRYNMOR
OOC: Her picture is sooo stunning!
