There's this sickening feeling within the pit of our stomach, as we watch our morbid friend delve deeper into his emotional avoidance and plant himself in a place that will surely gain him no attention. We constantly watch his patchwork coat shift, as he moves forward in a hazy, quick, though brisk trot. His head, we not, is naturally held high, as if he feels himself regal, when we know he simply doesn't. He, well, doesn't feel anything. He respects death, but he does not mourn the loss of another. Why? There is always a hole in his heart. Something untouched by the emotions of the world around him. Something hollow and depressing even to us. But, as always, we watch on. awaiting the change that we constantly hold our breaths for. As unlikely as it may seem.

The scenery was, at most, diverse. But he didn't feel even a sprinkle the joy and enthrallment that he should when trodding upon the lands. He simply felt bored. Lifeless. Careless of the world around him, his white and brown clad limbs moved onward, a flurry of activity in the land void of most life today. His eyes, timber in color, flickered pointlessly over the foiliage and the slight brush of plantlife around the trees that scattered haphazardly around the area. His muscles flexed, rolled and shifted with each step, completely used to the aimless wandering done by the stallion. The stallion who claimed a land, but had no one to share it with. Needed no one to share it with. Wanted no one to share it with. Because, these days, no one was worthy. Everyone had ulterior motives. Everyone was power hungry. No one knew how to make sacrifices. They all wanted happiness handed to them. And Croatan, bid after that of the Angel of Death, was not one to simply hand happiness to anyone. He doubted he could make anyone happy. He had never really cared to. Until Bone. But she was gone. A distant memory now. Another small, hollow loss to add to his unenthusiastic existance.

ooc; heh. forgot this was here! XD

We watch him calm himself. Calm his irrational feelings. He seems so harsh on himself. Always so harsh. It is as if he has passed judgement on himself and found himself lacking. Can there be such a thing? Failing your own test? We decline the thought that perhaps he is simply trying to feel something. But he feels everything. We know. For we have watched. He simply feels himself unworthy, perhaps?

Croatan found himself twisting about. His limbs carried him warily over the land, a slow but confident two-beat sounding out. His heartbeat was steady. His mind? In turmoil. It always was these day. He was constantly badgering himself for giving up on himself and Bone so quickly. He missed her. It was a constant thought in his mind. Like the steady pitter-patter of rain on a stormy day. It made him feel bereft. Alone.

Damn. Since he was prone to lose himself his wandering thoughts, he had hardly paid any attention to the ever changing terrain, that spread openly before him. Placid timbres flickered around, asessing the change that now seemed evident. Providence seemed to be toying with him today. A slight whisp of a grin slipped to his white lips, as his muscled limbs slowed to an even halt. What would he do with himself if he kept losing himself to his thoughts? Absolutely nothing. Chuckling, as he often did after losing himself to those thoughts, his timbres continued to flicker back and forth, seeming to draw in every aspect of the terrain, from the frame of the sky to dust of the earth. He scented her then. A lone female. Perhaps not the smartest move, hmm? Drifting forward, he found her beneath a tree sleeping peacefully. Looking down on her, he issued a growl, finding himself somehow angry at her choice to sleep alone and unprotected in these lands. "Miss, do you fancy your life? Because it is not entirely wise of you to sleep thusly where anyone may happen upon you. Whatever shall we do with you, hmm?" He spoke in his deep timbre, the words rolling off in a reprimanding manner. His white and leather brown dual-toned coat rippled over flexing muscles, as he refrained from acting a complete brute and outright fussing at her.

ooc; heh. forgot this was here! XD
