V a l e n 'Cause maybe you're loveableAnd maybe you're my snowflake
Glittery, perfect orbs, circles of a milky glowing hue. So easy on the brilliant green eyes that stared at them. Stars, yes. An amazing display of the universe, the solar beauty that could only be seen at night. If it were not for day, Valen might waste away staring at them, dreaming recklessly. It was the only time the man allowed his walls to crumble. Wanderlust emulating from his being, he felt utterly at ease. A calmness that did not show on the outside, but resonated as a warmth within him. His body was planted firmly on ground, coated with the dying reminisce of summer. The leafs gave off an earthly pungent fragrance that danced so softly in his snout, it made him most glad. A few moments later, and Valen shifted, before beginning to move again. No use spending time on unimportant things for too long.
That's all Valen was, business. He lived a strict set of rules that he crafted himself, preferring to seclude himself as much as possible until he needed socialization, craved it. If anything might be a weakness for the man, it was his blatant arrogance, although kind and gentlemanly, he had always had a problem with thinking himself better then everyone. It wasn't like Valen acted on it, extremely though. He kept this tightly bottled away, only allowing the rare remark to pass through pursed lips. He learned to control that side, tame it.
Valen swept past the crumbled fall leaf's, a small look of satisfaction displayed on his gentle features. Winter would come soon, and the ability to blend in with his surroundings would be much more difficult. The mottled canvas he had been blessed with did not fair well in disguising him from the whiteness, but it was not like he needed it anyway for he wasn't a hunter. He had been assigned the duty of being a Spy, sneaky and able-footed was his forte. Yet, it went further then that, Valen was also aware that not only must you be stealthy, you must also be willing to be tortured, and killed for your family. From the day he was sworn in as a spy, Valen had promised he would never tell anything to anyone about the doings of the Earth pack, no matter the brutality they used against him.
Valen went on through the now sparce woods. A few leaves still hung about on trees, but it looked as though even a small breeze might unhinge it's fragile grasp. He liked to witness the transition of seasons, it was beautiful. At that moment though, the man was quite bored. He didn't wish to sit idly and gaze, and dream. As a wise wolf once told him, "Some of us use thought to participate in life". And that was exactly what Valen struggled with so many times in his life. Participating, and being entirely their, when he was simply a dreamer and could think up so many greater things then what was in reality. Truth be told, maybe he was looking for the next Great perhaps. Which could only begin with a maybe. That's what Valen needed.

regular, speech, thoughts, other(s) The mottled she-wolf rolled over in her nest yet again and let out a loud sigh. She had been laying here for hours and still sleep would not take her into its sweet embrace. She curled herself into a tight ball in the middle of her soft nest and floppe her tail over her eyes. This was rediculous! Her bed was soft enough, made of pine needles and fluff left behind by various soft critters that roamed the woods. It should not be this hard to find sleep! With a soft growl, she pushed herself to her paws and padded out into the night air.
The air was cold, and she could see her breath turn to vapor before her. A slight smile graced her face as she watched it swirl and drift in the breeze. A slight shiver ran down her spine as the air reached through her thick coat and touched her skin. She was pretty, a body that was sleek and slender, and a coat that was a gorgeous mixture of grays, whites, and tans. She was slightly smaller than most, but she made up for it with quick wit and the ability to think on her feet. She was quiet, one to sit back and watch rather than be the center of attention, most did not take notice of her most of the time.
Riversong padded through the woods on quiet feet, letting them take her where they felt like going. She had no particular destination in mind, just enjoying the beauty of the night. It truly was a beautiful night in deed, clear and bright. The moon was high above, a bright white orb of cool light that illuminated all that it touched. She had always preferred the cool light of the moon to the glaring light of the sun. A sense of relaxation and peace filled her as she wandered throught the leaves.
Some of the leaves fell from the trees and landed lightly on the ground, adding to the already thick carpet, while others clung to the branches. Soon all of the leaves will have left their home in the trees, and everything will be covered with a frozen blanket of white. Then she would not blend into the night as she did not, she would be a disturbance to the pristine white rather than just a shadow in the night like she was not.
Riversong came to rest in a small clearing where she could clearly see the sky. Looking up she admired the pin pricks of light in the sky. Tiny diamonds that winked and blinked against a black velvet background. She was amazed at just how beautiful it was, how amazing the world around all of them was, and how rarely they all took the time to notice it all.
