Peace. The falls. The gentle white-noise tin of sound that settled in her eardrums. Her eyes were closed and she relaxed into the feeling of a moment of serenity. Mist hung on her coat and along her whiskers and she didn't seem to notice the world for a little while.
Until BOOF was heard nearby. Just enough to be heard over the water. Just enough to send her hackles straight into the air. She rose, her head snapping to and fro. In her panic, she did not see him. Even if she had, her reaction would have been the same.
Immediately she stood to leave, sinking into the mists the falls stirred up and diving towards unfamiliar brush. Her pace hurried as a second boof answered the first.
Either she'd been found by them or by someone else. Either way it didn't matter.
[attempted exit, she spoop]
