No time to stand still today, was the thought driving the buck today. There were too many places to check on, too many niggling suspicions and worries rattling around inside his head for him to settle anywhere for long. He'd slept decently, if not extensively, so he was alert. Keen-eyed. Curiously sniffing the air and twisting his ears to catch even the smallest sound.
It was a glint of sunlight that drew him toward the mosaic. Art piece. Collection of rocks. He was at just the right angle, just the right distance, for the sunlight to flare and for him to be drawn to inspect whatever it was that shone that way. He stepped out of the trees, paused, then paced forward to stand over the display. Natural? No, this was not natural. And he was quite sure he hadn't seen it a day or so ago.
He nudged a rock with one hoof, making it wobble slightly before it settled again.
