The gentle tatta tatta tat of the miniscule raindrops drumming against the soft, newly-green grass ricocheted through the wolf's ears and made her eardrums thrum pleasantly. It was nothing but a light rain; overhead, it was still relatively light, if not murky-colored from he thin clouds that seemed to loom closer to the ground than normal; then again, it always looked that way to her.
Sharubii was sitting down quietly in the middle of the plain, the thin shower coating her obsidian fur with beadlets of rainwater and, in some patches, dampening it enough so that she could feel it on her skin. Her whiskers were sticking to the sides of her broad muzzle -- not the most pleasant feeling, but she could live with it -- and wouldn't get off, even after rigorously swiping her tongue over it ineffectually in an effort to dislodge the things. She should get to shelter, on the double, but the thing was, the female didn't feel like it. Her amber eyes, darkened by the oncoming of the drizzle, were narrowed so that they resembled almonds; her back was stooped and her shoulders hunched, and her tail was curled extremely loosely around her left side, like some domestic dog curling up near its owner's feet after a hefty meal. The rain made her feel relaxed, even if the wetness was slightly vexing; it didn't concern her much though, so she stayed where she was, without a care in the world.
Or, without any immediate cares. She could return to her previous lifestyle later; of pick-and-run, of meet-and-go, of a never-ending whirlwind like chain of running, running for almost no reason at all. Like a pioneer, she smirked to herself, turning her head slightly to the side, to where a stray wildflower was sitting, rooted to the ground. Its entire being was twitching as the raindrops pounded on its delicate frame; why did all beautiful things have to be so weak?
That was why she was not beautiful.
Sharubii chuckled darkly to herself, and turned her head away from the flower in something related to disgust. Why be beautiful and fragile, when you could be ugly and, most of all, be able to survive?
