[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/64Vf.png][scrolly:h(249),w(500),sy] Dreamith sat still. It was an odd thing to do with her kind of personality. Was it possible that she had matured? She no longer belonged to the beautiful pack land and pack Quesse Anar Clan, she hadn't seen Nelio in quite a long time, and she had spent these many long months on islands or isolated places just sitting still as she was now. In these long sits, she thinks deeply, almost like in a trance. Sometimes she would be so deep in, she wouldn't even notice if a bear came charging by her. The three year old's breath suddenly blew out of her muzzle as if she had been holding it in forever and coughed a few times. She stretched, making her small mussels ripple under her thin fur. Had one known her when she was much younger and then had looked at her now, they probably would have assumed that she was her mother. She looked practically the same, just a bit taller than she had been and her child like personality dissipating quickly. Or if not, already been and gone. What would become of me had Nelio found himself a mate. I suppose it would be lucky for him. She thought. Many times in her mind-wiseing like state, Nelio had been the topic. Dreamith really couldn't help it. She had fallen in love with him at a young age. She guessed that he had that kind of effect on many other females. He was quite a charmer, practice after all did make perfect. Dreamith hadn't talked to another animal soul since the last time she had spoken with Nelio. Perhaps now I can join his circus-pack-whatever he wants to call it... of course, only if he would have me. Her ice colored eyes narrowed and a low growl rumbled in her chest. Had she always been the victim? Or should she just be some clingy wolf who is just someones shadow. She preferred neither. The large strip of tan beach glowed under the sunset sky. The sky was bathed in orange and blue, a small breeze slightly warmed the becoming-cold night. Dreamith dipped her night black nose into the water, the only part of her body that allows her not to change when touching water. Rings formed around it and the water's sudden coolness made her shiver and her bones practically rattle. Then after a moment, she just stared at her older self in the reflection of the water. Dreamith's hackles raised and her lips pulled back, showing her teeth. She could not determine whether she was even a child or not any more. A child no more... [/scrolly]

[bg=00c5cd] Things were happening just like they were supposed to, and he couldn’t have been more overjoyed with that fact than if he had suddenly sprouted wings and could fly just as he could swim. The wolves that had showed up for the meeting were interested and they all seemed to have very good intentions and were still interested in the meeting. Now it would be Tawny’s job to see which wolves had which talent and how to piece it together. He would be in constant contact with the other brown Caella female, supporting her and offering his opinion when she asked but for the most part he was content to let her make most of the decisions at this point because that was her job as an organizer. Lio’s own schedule was changing with the weather, it was better to be awake during the day now when the water was still warm, and the sun kept his pelt warm, then he could sleep at night, some times he had even pushed in on Tawny to sleep next to the what seemed like the only family he would get this life time. But now, as the sun was setting, Lio sat on the beach and sighed gently. He was remembering times before now, times before it was good. He had heard on the gossiping winds of the Clan’s dissolution but he was not truly surprised. There was so little structure there he was surprised it lasted as long as it did, but it was reaffirming for him and he supposed for Tawny as well that they had made the right decision and gotten other things arranged so they would still have a home along with others. His thoughts did wander to the beautiful female he had left behind. He remembered their last time on the beach of the Cove, she had found him and accused him of leaving her, forgetting her. He had so desperately at the time wanted to bring her with him, but what kind of life was it for someone who didn’t want that kind of life. If Dreamith had wanted to settle down and have pups, could he ever give her that. He had aspirations for his life, and they didn’t include being tied down to one female in one stationary pack. He had never seen himself with just one female, at times one more than another captured his attention but most females wanted all of your heart at once and he did not know if he was capable of that. He remembered Dreamith’s beautiful face, the way it shined when she smiled and their first encounters together, she was very near to perfection if he had ever went seeking. But what of Tor, he had cared for the deaf female, she was beautiful, and even with what some might call a deformity he could quickly see himself caring for her. She intrigued him, and the fact that she was willing to travel with him was a huge plus. He sighed and shook his head, this was all hypothetical, what if Dreamith had left the clan’s lands and found herself a mate or someone else to love? It was rather arrogant to think that she would still even think about him after all this time had passed after all, she had been really angry with him the last time they had parted ways. With a sigh he turned to his side and stood up, shaking out his brown, tawny and blue speckled pelt and began to walk down the beach. As he did however, what could have only been a mirage appeared in front of him. It couldn’t have been, but he was not delusional and it was not hot enough to make him see anything strange. It was in fact Dreamith who sat in front of him. But how would he dare approach her now after their last encounter. His tail wanted to wag furiously, and he wished to greet her as though he could sweep her up and attach himself to her. But then again, would that be misleading, treating her as though nothing changed when in fact everything had? He came forward a little slowly, scuffling so that she would not be taken back, his body had leaned out a bit, but muscle now flexed in a noticeable way from running the beach and climbing the cliffs. His chest seemed to broaden out a little from the constant swimming making him leaner. He looked healthier and happier, he could only say she had gotten more beautiful in the time they had been apart. His eyes appreciated her from afar but still he said nothing, waiting to see how she would receive him.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/64Vf.png][scrolly:h(249),w(500),sy] Dreamith closed her eyes and looked away from her reflection. She wondered if she had become some heartless creature, first yelling at Nelio when he had asked for her to come along with him. Maybe, it was just impossible for them to ever have a life together. Then again, she had become a lone wolf since the pack had scattered and died and there was no one she could go to other than possibly Som and Cyra. But by now, its possibly they are already settled down with mates, no longer able to have their grand adventure. Dreamith opened her steely blue eyes and suddenly a figure seemed to have approached her. Some how... the figure resembled someone of vague memory. Then her eyes widened and she couldn't think whether to growl and frown or smile and approach him. Then again, she could have also been dreaming this older Nelio coming towards her. Dreamith stood and tried her hardest to have no expression whats so ever but she just couldn't help letting a smile pull on her mouth and her tail sway back and forth. "Nelio..." Her voice chimed. For a moment, she didn't recognize her voice. It sounded older and more like musical chimes. It made her think of her mother. Her long and narrowed muzzle had grown a now very large grin, almost puppy like. She then shook it from her head. I am an adult now, no need for looking like a pup. Yet she kept the grin and bowed her head toward him. "Nelio. What a pleasure and a surprise to see you." Dreamith lifted her head for a moment and took a quick look at him. "You look well." She stood there for a moments time. They had both grown much. He was more fit and looked leaner. Dreamith had a longer muzzle and longer legs. She was taller and her fur had grown for the coming winter. Her eyes were still large and rounded but her shoulders and chest were more broad and her legs were thicker and more steady on land than they use to be. When Dreamith could no longer not feel the need for being close to another wolf she suddenly broke out in a graceful prance, quickly devouring the distance between them and pressed her nose to his muzzle. "I am sorry for the last time we spoke. I would have felt dreadful if we were to never have seen each other again and have kept that last conversation as our last moment." She then looked up at him and stared deeply into his eyes. "Nelio... I would like to join you in your travles..." She didn't know if he even still liked her at all. She could not continue what she would have about to add. "...If you will still have me.. come along."She lowered her gaze. She would have understood if he would not let her come along with him and his traveling pack. But she knew it may have been impossible for her to ask him if she could travel with him and be his mate. That may have been taking it far with him. Yet she believed that she could travel with pups and was strong enough to travel and take care of pups at the same time. Dreamith growled at herself in her head. She did not need to be thinking about pups... not yet anyways. If ever. [/scrolly]

[bg=00c5cd] Lio was taken aback by her attractiveness, but then again he had never stated Dreamith was anything other than beautiful even though she got embarrassed by comments like that. He would never cower before her after all he was a male and she was a female but he would not be so brazen as to believe he could just saunter up to her and have her believe nothing had changed or gone wrong. Much had gone wrong since their last meeting, so much in fact he figured he would never see her again. She would settle down in the swamp, most likely have puppies, and he would spend the rest of his days traveling the lands abroad and meet new wolves, enjoy the fruits of life and labor. It would seem wherever he turned there would always be change, temptation from females, from traveling, and much more. He sighed, standing there looking at the female in front of him. She seemed to have changed so much and for a long moment, she looked so very unemotional. Her eyes found him and for a moment a tense moment, silence permeated the air around them. If she could look at him and feel nothing then she truly had grown up and away from him. For even the small amount of time they had spent together in the swamp had them both believing that something was there between them. It was during this cooling thought that he then saw her smile. Her tail began to wag and his did as well, the fullness of it sweeping his backside as his own maw broke out into a wonderfully handsome grin. She did still care at least enough to be happy enough to see him. His heart was content with that after all, no male wanted to think he was irreplaceable within such a short time frame. Lio was like any other male, he wanted to make an impact on others, especially those of the female variety. Call him, vain, arrogant or cocky, and perhaps all those words described him, but his mind flooded with feel good feelings as he stared at the female not too far from him now. When she said his name, it resounded within his mind and he couldn’t help but dwell on her voice. No female wolf on this planet could ever match the sound of a female Caella, they voices as males could ensnare the most diligent of creatures. When she spoke nothing but politely to him he sat down on the sand and nodded his head, closing his metallic silver eyes. “It is definitely a pleasure to see you as well Dreamith, look how much you have changed, grown, and turned even more beautiful than you were the first day I saw you in the swamp..” His voice thrummed with masculine bass, yet had it’s own musical quality to it as well. His was a voice that smoothed over one’s pelt and rubbed in all the right places, the song that would keep you warm within a cool night’s sleep alone. He saw her muscles move before she did, but when she broke into a prance to come in front of him, he let her, the wolfishness within his own brain letting him remain the dominant one as she pressed her nose into his muzzle he inwardly sighed. He pushed his head along the length of her muzzle, down across her face, and down her neck, to cross her back and pull her close with his head. He sighed, breathing in her scent deeply and sighed against her. In that moment he needed no words, his delight at Dreamith being here, not being in the Clan, here to touch him, it was all perfect. For the moment. Tor never disappeared completely within his brain but right now, being male, and being close contact with a female he had no choice but to delight in the touch he was being given now. Pulling back for a moment he stared down into her eyes and snorted lightly at her, a smile on his maw. “I am sorry as well, it hurt me that we parted on such bad terms, and to think that we may never have spoken again, well it wore heavy on my heart…” His eyes looked down at her and her next comment made his feet itch to bolt up and bark for joy. She wanted to come with him! She had made her decision and it couldn’t have had a better effect on him. He could introduce her around, and oh the adventures they would have! “I would never turn you down Dreamith, it would be a complete and utter delight to have you join us, we have four other members besides you and me, and I am sure they would all be delighted to meet you, none so much as me though.” He smiled and snuffled into her fur and nudged her playfully, he couldn’t help himself. “I am very happy you’re here Dreamith…” For she was in essence just like a dream, now come to life…

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/64Vf.png] Dreamith smiled Cheshire like. He was still the great charmer and probably will always be. There was a sentence that was clawing at her mind, however, she didn't even know it was there, making her head slightly throb. It was very strange acualy. Her attention then was quickly diverted to the quite jumpping up and down Nelio that reminded her of being puppyish. A spectial kind of spark in her eye flickerd for a moment. Maybe she didn't have to compleatly grow up just yet. "I am so glad that you would think so. I really do hope so." Suddenly, butterflies filled her stomach and a slight blush rose to her cheeks. What if they didn't want her there. Would it ruin her changes with Nelio. Suddenly her heart cracked. They may have been happy to see eachother but it was still possible that he had a mate. Though, he didn't speak of her. Possibly, hopfuly, there was no on eelse. But what lady could resist falling to his charms. He was quite literaly, Prince charming. She had to chuckle to that reference. Oh how she longed to be the lost princess to the brave and handsome prince. Then again, those were childish dreams. Dreamith closed her eyes for a moment and took everything in. Dare she say it? She in love? Of course it was possible. But could she tell him? Would it ruin their whole friendship? Maybe he felt the same way about her? How could she possibly know without asking Without saying? That was what had been gougeing at her brain. Nelio, all about Nelio. Everything about him made her heart sink and her voice strong. Yet how could she tell him She had no way of figuring out what he was thinking. Unless she spoke to him about it. Would she say something about it? Could she do it? She let out a long breath then opened her steel blue eyes. She had to do something. She coulden't just sit here without saying something but she kept her childish grin upon her muzzle. She blinked for a few moments then leaned in and put her forehead to his neck and breathed in his sent and thought about how she was going to miss it if she were to mess this up for him. By saying what she thought she needed to say or her brain may possibly explode, or even impode. Which ever came first. She sat there for a moment longer. She wished that this would never end, that their relationship may never end no matter what. No matter what she said to him or what he said to her. She lifted her head to meet his gaze for a moment then licked his cheack and pressed her head to the side of his and whisperd in his ears. Her voice twinkled with full and honest truth and love that had been caged in her heart and brain. She coulden't hold it anymore. It let loose. "I love you...Nelio..."

[bg=00c5cd] Why was it that just when you thought you had females figured out they completely turned one’s whole world upside down, and then shook the world so that by the time it was all over you didn’t even know right from wrong and up from down. Lio had always admired Dreamith for her innocence but it would seem that while they had been apart she had grown up, and not just physically grown but matured emotionally as well. His heart was thumping in his chest from excitement, from joy, from many different emotions. She often had that effect on him though, but he supposed when faced with beauty it was a natural reaction. Tor had a tingling effect on him, but it was different than with Dreamith but no less intense. He was possessive over both of them, but where as Tor he had found here, Dreamith was in a place where he couldn’t have gone to retrieve her not with his present duties. “I know they will love you Dreamith, it’s impossible not to look at you and not smile. From what I can tell of them all, they all seemed pure-intentioned wolves, who have all come together for the same purpose as me, an adventure, something more than stifling and stagnating within one place forever….I can’t wait for you to meet Tawny…she has become like a sister to me since we’ve met, we’re like family, and I am sure she will especially like you..” Now of course he couldn’t promise these things, but he believed in his heart that Dreamith was too lovely not to be liked, and Tawny would be at least nice if she knew Dreamith made Lio anywhere near happy. So as far as he was concerned she was already liked. She was so quiet in those next few moments, he was worried, what if she told him she had gotten a mate of her own and he was hiding in the shadows? His now darkening silver eyes glanced over the beach for an inkling there was another male around, he would not be happy, just like he was not happy about Crow being so close to Tor…it bothered him that there might be more there than a friendship. His eyes fell back on her, and it looked like she was battling to say something, or battling whether or not to say something to him. He was patient and never forceful however and so he waited, his tail gently brushing the sand along the ground beneath them to the right and left, making a groove. She leaned in close to him and as she breathed in his scent he did the same to her. He would be a fool to say he didn’t enjoy having her close, touching her, smelling her, seeing her. Yes a fool indeed, but his brain kept wondering exactly what she was holding back when it was obvious the rest of her was about to explode from the effort of keeping it in. She looked into his eyes, licked his cheek, and blew his world up as a nuclear bomb with those three words. He shut his eyes quickly not to show her his eyes rolled up into the back of his head. He knew it was a possibility she loved him, but he never thought she would ever say it. He took in a deep breath, forced his eyes right and then opened them to look down on her for a long moment, trying to compose his thought so that he could say just the right thing. He wanted her heart to sing, not to break but there were some things he just didn’t think he was capable of doing. “My lovely Dreamith, think had you not that I did not love you from the moment I saw you back in the swamp. You were lovely then, and time has only furthered to make you more beautiful to me. You have captured my brain, and even captured part of my heart. I would vow to always stand by your side, to love, and to cherish you, to protect you and have you with me always. I would vow that to you as I would vow my loyalty to an alpha. But my love, my heart is not small enough for one wolf, and I hope you can accept that. I would always love you in return but could you look upon me with the same love knowing that I might share my heart with another as well?” His mind flicked back to Tor for a moment, he did not know if love was there, but he did not want to pledge something he could not truly offer all of to Dreamith. He loved her, and he always would, but Lio was never taught to settle with just one mate, or love just one wolf. His eyes settled on hers, shining in the last light of sun as he waited for her to snarl, bite him, kick sand at him, or walk away forever…”Even if you could not see yourself loving me because of this, I hope you would still stay and travel with us, even if you hated me forever and a day, I would love you those same forever and a days..”

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/64Vf.png] "My lovely Dreamith..." Why was he about to go into a speech? It sounds like he is. This doesn't sound too good. "...and even captured part of my heart." Part? I think I am going to be sick... or maybe die. Maybe both. "...as I would vow my loyalty to an alpha." You left our pack when we had an alpha without warning, remember? "...for one wolf." Oh shit. "...with another?" Bastard. Dreamith showed non of this on her face or in her body language. To Nelio, she looked more like she was ready to take on the world and accept every last word he was saying. When in reality, her mind was not quite as in ease. She had never even imagined sharing a mate with another. It didn't break her heart. Only confused it. Once he ended his brief speech, she stared at him for a moment, not knowing exactly what to think of him anymore. Yes, bastard had entered her mind, quite a few times in fact, however, that was not completely her thoughts about him. Dreamith felt like she was having brain failure. No words to say were coming to mind. She had not expected such a thing. Competition, yes. Out right hate, yes. Them only together forever, yes. But having to share had never been a possible scenario in her mind. She sucked in a deep breath which was cold and made her teeth slightly chatter. Her jaw suddenly went tight and her front paws push hard into the sand beneath her. She felt as if she would jump him, bite him, do something to get rid of all the energy -or anger- inside her that had been building in her chest. Perhaps she really did know this could have happened. Maybe she really had anticipated it but then waved the idea away. Then, the last thing she expected for herself to do happened. Dreamith's paws became soft weighted on the sand and each muscle in her body relaxed, she almost felt like a wet noddle and felt like she could fall over if the wind blew and felt so calm and peaceful and yet still angry and spoke to him in the kindest way she had ever heard her voice speak. "Nelio... it may be very difficult for me to be able to think or share you. I had always thought and grown up to believe that only two wolves could be together. You have changed everything. I would love to still travel with you and everyone else, though, I am not sure how helpful I would be..." She paused. "...Nelio.... I love you with every bit of my entire being so much that I could see you with another as you wish. I love you so much that I will do anything too keep you happy. If it is more females that will keep you happy, then so be it." Every last word surprised her. Dreamith even sounded so mature! How could she utter such words when she thought her mind was saying completely different things. Which was her real feelings. Suppose it really was a bit of both. She stood up and put her face into the fur of his neck. How dose he think of her now, she wonders. Right now... she didn't even care anymore. Dreamith just wanted him. She breathed in his scent deeply and let it take over her entire being. She would never truly want to see him with another but it really was true what she said, that she wants anything for him that will make him happy. Everything.

[bg=00c5cd] What could he expect out of the younger female, how much more selfish could he possibly get? She had every right to be angry, to bite him, to slap him with her tail…or even more painful, he fish half. He half expected all of the above, but then again a part of him told him not to under-estimate Dreamith. She was young yes, and had many preconceived notions about mates, and monogamy, but those could all change as she grew even older. Lio had never been raised to take one mate, although in his pack, a male could take as many females as he wanted, as long as he could care for them and their offspring. It was highly unlikely to find a male with more than one female, because providing for two females was hard enough, let alone pups. These philosophies would be just as hard as Dreamith’s to break, and he felt in his heart it was better to tell her up front than to place his heart with her, and then break her own when she found out he was not capable of just being tied to one female. Now for now, she would be the only one, and he would treat her with as much love as he was capable of, provide for her, and protect her, but should another come along that he could see himself with, he would court her the same way he had Dreamith. Let’s not misunderstand poor Lio though. Just because he did not believe in staying true to one female did not mean he went and mated with every other female. That was hardly the case, he was simply preparing Dreamith for the fact that in a later time a female might come around that he could also see himself sharing his heart with. Metallic silver eyes glinted as he waited the beautiful female’s response, and he could not help but feel as though they would have the most gorgeous offspring he could ever remember seeing, but that would be a typical male thought at this time above any other. He began to see the first couple of negative reactions, and his mind was telling him to back up before he got hit, but at this time he could completely understand if she did hit him, she was within her rights and he would not be a coward and back up from her. When her voice slithered out from her maw in a gentle, and almost kind sound Lio’s eyes were careful, and guarded, she could very well say something very nice, and even up trying to chew his tail off a second later…such was the nature of most females. He listened to her words without interruption, only nodding and giving her his full attention as she did speak. When she had finished he did not quite trust that his ears had told him the truth, she had agreed to be with him, to travel, to….share? His ears tilted up and he spoke lowly to her, “I understand Dreamith, you were brought up with those ideals and philosophies just as I was brought up opposite of those. This is why I felt it was beyond selfish to ask you to come with me, but I can’t say I am disappointed by the fact that you are here, and with me now.” He nodded and stepped up close her, his scent engulfing her just as he did when he leaned in close. “You would be a lovely singer or performer Dreamith, and of course I would love to have you with me, mate or not.” He did not say that not only would another female be an advantage for him but her as well. She would never long for companionship, and she would have another set of eyes to watch pups, should they come at any time. Also if Dreamith became unable to care for them or be sick, there would be another female, like a sister who could help her in her time of need if Lio couldn’t. This would come to her in time though he thought and so he simply left her last statement alone. “That you could say that, and come to me now means the world to me, hell the moon, the stars, and the sun in addition to the world. You have no idea how beautiful and wonderful you are, and how lucky I am to have you.” He nuzzled into her neck and gently began licking his way up to her face, keeping his eyes on her the entire time. As they inhaled and surrounded each other with their fur, their scent their very being his whispered her name over and over as the last of the sunlight fell below the horizon and they were left, encased by darkness. Two lovers, in the dark.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/64Vf.png][scrolly:h(249),w(500),sy] For the first time, when his nose touched her skin and fur it made a shiver spiral down her spine. However, it could have almost been described as comforting, as he was not a dream and neither was the conversation that they had spoken. Dreamith could just sit here forever, being so close with the one she loved and knowing he loved her to, even if he was to be in the future with her and another. In fact, strangely enough too that the more she thought about it, the more she could see it and the less she hated the idea of it. There was so many different sensations she was feeling at once. There was hardly any bad she found withing those feelings but most were of calmness, and she knew there was nothing forgive, only to understand. It was as if opening herself to these things made her wiser and more mature by the second. It almost even made her chuckle as the knew knowledge slightly made her feel old. Dreamith remembered when she was more youthful and naive, she wanted a mate that was not a Ceal. She thought because she was a Ceal meant that she knew it all about their species and the males within it were all the same. But, Nelio was something much more, and much different than anything she had encountered or even had ever imagined. To most, even of other species it was unthinkable to court more than one female. Maybe that was what made Dreamith fall head over paws with him. Well... that and his charming personality and heavenly good looks and bright colors. She didn't believe that there truly anything more she wanted in her life other than him. Then again, it would be nice if she were able to have his pups. But that would be in the future to come. However, whatever future was ahead was speeding quickly towards them, now more than ever before. Suppose all those long, lonely, and quite sits had come to some sort of use. She breathed in Nelio's scent once more and their lives together flashed before her very own steely blue eyes. The world that they would be to each other, the beautiful pups that they would bare and teach and care for, the love that would never wither or die. It still pained Dreamith to think of not being able to hoard him all to herself, but at least if his eyes wander to another female, she wouldn't have to worry to much. Or at least she hoped. No, she wouldn't accept the thought of him ditching her for some other pretty Ceal and disgrace himself and break the promise he had made to her. There was not a future of that, she knew there could be nothing like that in their life together. He would be busy with performances and her to hurt all he has been with to be with one other. It was certainly not in his personality either. She knew that he would never in any situation dishonor his promises and break hearts of the wolves that he has befriended, and one that has fallen for him. The night grew and spread and the stars sprinkled overhead. A cool wind rushed over them and whistled in her ears. She could hear the waves bashing against large mossy boulders and volcanic black rock. A faint smile played over Dreamith's lips. "Nelio," Her voice chimed. "There is not a single other that I would want as my mate." She nuzzled into his broad shoulders and neck fur. What she said was the complete and utter truth. The idea of the other female now hardly shook her as the veil of night folded itself over her eyes. All she needed, all she wanted was her Nelio. Her Nelio... A heated aura grew around her at the thought of her Nelio. Dreamith felt as though if she had some deathly illness, she would leap around and become instantly healed. If she had four broken limbs she could feel no pain and be able to dance for joy. If there had been this deceitful darkness to her it had been cracked with light and broken and crushed into dust. Without a thought, a musical rhythm struck Dreamith's heart and she raised her head, still leaning against her love and notes of like an other worldly music (As many Ceal voice sounded like) rang out from her muzzle and sprang out to the stars and all above. She felt warm all over and there was a slight tingling in her stomach and she wanted to leap up and touch noses with the blanket of stars and sky. There was also another feeling she hadn't truly felt in years. Safe. She hadn't felt that before since leaving her pack but this was also a new kind of safe feeling. Oh, the variety of sensations that she felt! It was like nothing she had ever felt before. This feeling of being with Nelio would be like fireworks bursted in her heart and fireflies flew all around them. Such feelings were just indescribable truly. (Sorry took me so long to reply and kind of sucks. ) [/scrolly]

[bg=00c5cd] It was as if in that moment the stars had fallen down on them in a blanket of darkness, pierced by the stars of light themselves. All her could see when he looked into her eyes was the reflection of the stars, above, and surrounding them. He could not have fathomed a more perfect place for them to be, and to have declared their love for each other. The sand below his paws began to feel as though it would melt around them, cover them in the soft, grainy texture of protection, a blanket to serve as something soft below them. Lio himself felt like a big puddle of mush, unlike many other males, Lio loved the sensation of being in love, it was unlike anything else in this world, and could never be replaced. The sensation of love was something that if you were lucky enough to experience, you wanted it all the time. In that moment, Lio could understand how some wolves really did seem to die of a broken heart when they lost their mate. His dark voice seemed to echo when leaving his maw but he spoke, even being so close to her, “Dreamith you have changed so much since the first time I met you, but these changes are proving to make you even more desirable and grown up, if such a thing were possible. I could not think you would become even more beautiful and desirable since our last time together, but indeed here you sit here before me, rivaling the beauty of the stars above us. Your eyes reflecting their light as though you could speak to them with your own heart song. It gives my heart such joy to be even in the same space as you right now, let alone to touch you, to have you..” His voice had dropped to a whisper as he leaned in and nuzzled her deeply, nipping affectionately at her scruff and pushing himself closer. He could feel his blood boiling beneath his skin, and if his pelt could turn colors, he was sure he would be red as the blood red sky he had seen, desire and love raining down on his pelt. “The future shall be ours Dreamith, the circus will be completely wonderful with you there by my side, performing and traveling together. I would never have to entertain the thought of leaving you under any circumstances. You will be there, and although most males will envy me, not a single one shall have you..” His voice was dark, and arousing even in it’s possessiveness. For do not mistake Lio, while he may have taken a second mate, there was no way he would have Dreamith or any other female he claimed be taken by another male, not for anything, the very thought turned his eyes a dangerously dark shade of silver as he even tried to entertain the thought. He would have the same amount of jealousy if his adopted sister Tawny found a mate of any kind, he would be protective of her, and very suspicious of any males coming close to females he cared for. His heart allowed him to have room for more than one female, that was entirely true, however his sense of honor and decorum made it so that any courting or flirting would be done respectfully, and any mate he took, now being Dreamith would never have to worry about being disgraced or disrespected. She would always be cared for, hunted for, provided for with shelter, warmth and above all, love. She would want for nothing else, and essentially she would be a queen to him, his queen, his love, and his first. Even if he took a second mate, she was the first, and she had a piece of his heart before any other. “It is good to hear you want nothing and no one but me Dreamith…..For I know I would turn green with envy to see you with another….even when you smile you grace other males with your beauty..I know they would do much to have you..” His eyes half lidded as he looked at her, and draped his head over her neck to pull her close. It was as if he could not stop touching her and having her close to him. She was a new addiction and he would see that nothing parted him from her for too long. His eyes lightened with the light of the moon and stars above them, and she gently licked at her shoulders and back with delicacy. He pushed his pelt against her, noticing how they melded together quite nicely and then he watched as her head tipped back and she sang to the very sky and stars of how she felt, or at least as close as she had felt. His own head tipped back and he howled with her, the sounds and music of their howls melding together, and rising higher and higher, over the cliffs of the cove, and out over the water that washed in gentle, now cooling waves of water, the foam hissing over the sands, making the song seemingly complete. He lay down with her there on the sand hills around them, slightly buffeting the winds around them. His head lay protectively over hers, and he closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, and exhausted by the emotional turn of events he intended to sleep right there with her, protected by the stars that had witnessed their declaration to each other…
