It was a gray morning, and Kiernan was currently walking down the park path with the tail-wagging Fen following right behind him.
It was very early in the morning, so most of the city hadn't woken up just yet, and thus, there were only a few occasional joggers passing by.
Since Kiernan wasn't hiding his face or anything like that, the joggers had to take a second look to make sure it was really him.
They looked genuinely surprised, but they also didn't stop to disturb him, as they realized that he woke up early for a walk to have peace of mind.
Just like them.
In that moment, Fen saw something and started chasing after a bird that had caught his eye.
The bird took flight, flapping its tiny wings as fast as it could, and disappeared high into the air.
With a disappointed whimper, Fen ran back to Kiernan and just kept trotting beside him with his head hanging low.
