it   has   been   quite   some   time   since   he's   felt   the   warmth   of   the   sun   hit   his   skin   ,   the   faint   breeze   of   cool air   hitting   his   face   &   the   smells   .   .   .   he   can   actually   smell   the   crisp   ,   fresh   air   of   the   new   season   ,   the   earth   mixed   with   a   hint   of   warm   spice.   the   creature   took   for   granted   the   smaller   things   in   life   when   he   was   alive   ,   focusing   on   much   more   trivial   &   selfish   pursuits   that   he   now   regrets   completely.   life   is   a   beautiful   thing   that   can   end   at   anytime   ━━   a   spark   of   lightening can hit   &   suddenly   you're   gone   ,   never   to   be   heard   from   again & mourned by your loved ones for generations to come.   with   a   second   chance   to   enjoy   his   newfound   life   ,   he   wants   to   take   in   everything   as   much   as   he   can   ,   though   it   has   proven   to   be   a   bit   overwhelming to do so   ,   as   this   second   chance   also   brings   him   to   a   whole   new   modern   world   ,   one   he   is   still   struggling   to   understand.

the   crunch   of   autumn   leaves   crackle   under   his   feet   as   they   venture   further   into   the   forest   ,   the   creature   shivering   a   bit   as   another   gust   of   wind   hits.   he   turns   to   look   over   at   the   woman   who's   joined   him   on   this   walk   ,   the   very   one   who   brought   him   back   to   life &   whom   he   owes   a   great   thanks   for   this   second   chance.   he's   always   been   one   to   fall   quickly   for   any   woman   who   looks   his   way , as was his weakness   ,   but   in   this   instance   ,   it   feels   different when he looks at her.   raven   knew   nothing   of   him   &   yet   chose   him   to   bring   back   ,   using an   ability   so   intense   &   incredibly   ,   a   feat   that   couldn't   have   been   simple or easy.   regardless   if   the   feelings   are   returned   or   not   ,   he   is   forever   grateful   to   her   &   will remain forever loyal. he   intends   to   stay   at   her   side   for   as   long   as   she   desires   or   tolerates   having   him   there , wanting nothing more than to ensure her happiness.

speech   is   still   a   difficult   feat for   him   as   he   attempts   to   move   his   mouth   ,   years   of   being   underground   making   him   need   to   relearn   how   to   formulate   the   words.   it's possible to regain his voice , but it's taking some time , which forces the creature to use other means of communication. gently   ,   he   motions   toward   raven   &   touches   her   shoulder   softly   ,   noting   the   thin   fabric   of   the   clothes   she   wears.   the   creature's   eyes   fixate   on   her with   a   concerned   expression   , attempting   to   convey   what   he   wishes   to   say   with   just   his   facial   expressions   alone , in addition to the motions he makes with his fingers. aren't you cold ?
