Description
It wasn't a new thing for Braig. Often times when he was feeling suffocated, he'd take a walk out of camp on a solo patrol. While he'd been living in shadow for a while now, his old instincts from his past were still buried in him. The instincts that told him he was supposed to be working alone, isolated. He ignored them obviously, adoring his family and his pride as a Shadow cat now - as well as the little sprogs Asrai and Basri had popped out recently - but there were times he just needed to breathe.

He'd often come to this marshy hill and sit, quiet, as he listened to the wind whistle down past him and into the clearing below, rattling the tree branches. It had the best view points, and as a habit he'd unsonciously started doing since the cubs had been born and since getting close to Basri, he started to pay attention to the sky a little more. The smells and the distant horizon. It was a cloudy and nasty lookin day, a day that back in his hay day would've told him that whatever assassination job he was about to go on was goign to get a whole lot shittier to deal with very soon - signs of a light storm.

He wrinkled his nose, exposing his remaining upper left canine in the process and grumbled. Great.

Just as he planned to head back, he felt a light spattering of rain start smacking him in the face and he huffed. Best go tell basri so he could get inside. Him and his stupid bones.

It wasn't until he got back to the camp though that he realized the rain was slow moving, and hadn't quite made it to the camp yet, even if the day's chill had. He managed to get the cubs back inside and helped Yu cover some of his garden before it really started getting heavy.

Old instincts apparently were useful sometimes - watching the sky had proved helpful, and as he hummed in satisfied approval as Yu curled up close to him in their den, warm and dry thanks to his obvious genius.

... It also felt nice that one of his past job's requirements had come in handy again. That hadn't happened since Jasper and the poison, after all.

My tryout for a new - and my first ever - high rank! I was really excited to see the new ranks in shadow and had just the scraggly man in mind to try out for it with. EP to Braig
