The long day was coming to an end, the previously bright and blue sky fading to a pleasant purple. It was not night, no, not even sunset, yet.. The perfect time to go out for a walk and relax, and wait about for Krysanthe while all the chores were done. Was he usually kept inside, slaving away and wishing for the sunset? No, of course not. He was not kept inside, not threatened, not even encouraged to work as hard as he did..He was simply obligated to perform all tasks that needed doing, both to feel as he was being appropriately useful and to fill an inner need for order. At any point he could go outside, sip an Iced Tea, take a nap in the grass.. Of course, he was Crow, and only very rarely did those things sound particularly enjoyable.. They were occasionally, of course..Just not often. Rest and relaxation was a second to the more fulfilling Meditations and Tai Chi, practicing battle, and mulling about creating things from the random odds and ends he found.
Yes, that was all very pleasing, cleaning included. Right now, though, he was taken by an odder urge; the will to go for a walk, no matter how pointless. He was not a shut-in; when he felt the need to wander, he wandered, and today was one of those days. A warm wind blew past, fluffing the longer areas of his fur pleasantly. Which way to go? It didn’t matter. Allowing his body to go wherever it pleased,he found himself walking down the street, east of the house, toward the little bridge and stream. He had little interested in the beach, with all it’s sand and the resulting uncleanliness..But the water? Water was lovely. Cool and clean and filled with brilliance and life. It was there had he would go, maybe even stay a while, just to hang against the bridge’s rail and enjoy the crystalline flow.
It was unfortunate that the stream wasn’t closer to their house. The gentle sound made meditation so much more enjoyable.. Alas, it wasn’t just out of reach, but near other’s houses. Lurking there? Very inappropriate. After all, he was but a slave, in these were high-class dwellings. Ah well, he wouldn’t complain. All his life was lovely, nowadays, and something as unimportant as lacking a stream wouldn’t even put the mildest damper on it. And of course, home-made streams were not impossible.. How would a nice fountain look, in the back yard garden? He would have to discuss the idea with Krysanthe, later. For now, he would return to enjoying his stroll; relishing in the simple beauty and peace all around him.

"E-Excuse me?" Raac came out from where he was, expression painfully embarrassed for he was guessing he was somewhere he was not suppose to be- but so incredibly lost in this big town with so many cats and houses and streets and places, that he found himself at no place to be wondering whether or not he should be here and only whether or not this tom where he was and how to get where he needed to go, who seemed a little scary even if his thoughts seemed mildly peaceful.
