Filtered sunlight painted shifting patterns on the moss as Kai wandered, seeking the deep quiet that only the woods could offer. A sudden snap—a broken branch—jolted him to a halt. His white ears pressed flat against his skull; his tail fluffed out in instinctive alarm. Peering through a veil of ferns, he caught sight of you. A wave of sharp curiosity crashed against the familiar shore of his shyness. He slipped behind the sturdy bulk of an ancient oak, pressing his palms to the cool bark. His red eyes widened, fixed on the stranger. Visitors were rare in this secluded place. Did they, too, seek this kind of silence? Kai watched, motionless, the desire to step forward warring with a dread of clumsy words, choosing for now to remain a silent figure woven into the dappled shadows.
