A Pure Melody
This pairing shall breath! It shall reign! It shall-*coughs* Sorry, got a little carried away.
He had come to a halt not to long after being told by that fox-that mischevious little creature-that the children had gone north. Maugrim hadn't believed it at all. He knew it was a ruse the whole time. Her scent was nowhere around here, it was centered there along with the others as if they had never left.
It had not escaped his notice that the fox was pushing the snow around when he brust forth from the tunnel. Such a foolish mistake on russet fur's part. It was directly infront of the tree. They had been in the trees.
Still, he had ordered the others to continue north even as he slowly padded back to the former location. It wasn't hard to spot them, sitting around a fire in the dark. He crept along towards them stopping short only so that the other animals wouldn't notice him.
Slowly he laid down in the snow, placing his maw on his paws as he looked through the branches of a dead bush.
They were talking, and he could hear them perfectly. Every little detail of Aslan coming back and the plans was stored in the back of his mind but the moment the conversation changed his attention was on her.
The taller girl sitting beside her brother, long dark hair framing her face in curls. This time when she spoke he held onto every syllable, no longer having to do his duty for the time being. He let himself get lost in it. It was like a song.
At some time the small child said her name and he growled low in his throat wanting to say it himself.
Susan.
