Taste of Salt/Natsu

[Chasen]

OoC: I'll try to make it interesting HAHA! Hopefully we'll have good muse! BTW has it ever happened to you, you think a huge wave was going to hit you and you over jump it because it turned into a smaller wave.... this is what I think happens to Chasen.

Ic:

The sun was slowly sinking into the sea, turning the sky orange and blue. The waters washed up onto the shore making a gentle whoosh sound. Seagulls circled over head looking for some tasty morsel to scarf down. All in all it was a very relaxing situation . . . except for one being was not even watching the sun set or even investigating the sea. Instead he was running in the soft sands leaping over the wet sand only to kick off again. He'd run to a point and then turn around and run the other way his tongue lolling but without a joyful expression. Chasen's eyes always glowed with one thing when he was like this determination.

Five minutes into this routine he stopped, stretched for a minute, and then he began to trot in place. Picking his feet up in a light stepping, almost prancing way. In the stepping mode he raised his lips in a grimace eyes shining with that dangerous madness almost. He was daring the world to say something about his exercise routine. Daring them to mock him for he would rip the eyes out their sockets. A few more minutes and he spread all four paws wide and lowered his head. He let forth a menacing snarl and pivoted as if he was dodging an opponent who was attacking from behind.

He snapped his jaws together and threw his head over his shoulder: one opponent down. The Myou cracked the door for his second soul. The lion gladly came out for a minute to take over his hosts body. In a very lion like fashion, Chasen's front paws swung wide threw all it's weight in to the third imaginary enemy. If it was a real wolf the enemy would have felt it's jaw dislocate. Lions were known for all their power being put behind the blows. The way the golden setting sun's rays hit Chasen he looked just like a mini lion fighting on the sands.

Each move was graceful and manipulated with thought and detail. Chasen made one mistake though. With a rush of the oncoming tides Chasen turned to see a wave head straight towards him. It was massive to the wolf's eye but still it was a challenge. The ocean had dared to challenge Chasen. The lion soul, not wanting to feel any wetness retreated to its cage in Chasen's psyche. 'It's just a little water!'

Finally a rough voice answered, 'I despise us being wet.

Chasen guffawed at the lion and ran forward towards the wave. Not away from it putting all his power into his hind legs he jumped towards the wave. It was getting closer and closer. He was about to plunge head first into it. He closed his eyes, held hit breath . . . and landed belly deep in freezing cold water. Shock came first and the need to get out the freezing water! Chasen turned and pushed his way through the water. He'd jumped over the wave? He turned to see the small wave grow smaller before it hit the shore. He narrowed his eyes. Well at least he found away to make his second soul calm down.

Doing running leaps he made it back to shore before another wave came. Feeling free of the water he shook any wetness out of his fur. So much for a training session. Sighing he shook again and began walking along the shore, he'd have to dry before he found a place for the night. If not he'd be covered in sand. He already hated the stuff as it was.

[Natsu]

As the young Keiyou, slowly flew above the many birds, she dove right in the middle of them, making some of them fall out of the sky. Some honking at her, with herself growling back, she scanned the birds for a fat one, none of them was large, but she would take and eat whatever she got her paws on. She sped up, trying to be as elegant as she could she scraped her claws on the birds wings’ making the bird fall out of the sky. While she silently celebrated her victory, and the other birds’ saw their loss, they started nipping at her. Once she fought all of them off, she relaxed and finally realized her kill was almost washed away. In a hurry, she dove for it, reaching it just in time as the wave almost took it out to sea.

She shook her kill out and smelled something odd. Not many wolves came here, but why not? The scenery was gorgeous, the temperature was nice year-round. She scraped earth over her kill and started to look around for clues. She turned around when she was another wolf. Not a Lyxxi, maybe a Lupus, or a Myou? If it was a Myou what was its animal spirit, what was it? She flew above the mysterious wolf, looking down upon him. She scanned the area for a rock to perch on, and soon found one. Right near the wolf. Her wings flew straight towards the rock, out of exhaustion. No! No! Stop! Oh no!! She screamed in her head. But her wings didn’t stop, they kept going, and finally got her there.

As her wings folded untidily on to her back, she stood up making herself more than double her size. “Hello.” She bellowed, making her voice sound similarly to a males’. “Who are you, what species are you. And tell me your business here.” She crept around the wolf going towards her prey; she soon picked it up, and went back to her perch. She carefully ripped open the birds’ body, and ripped open the bite sized snack into eatable pieces. When she was finished with the small morsel, she slid the remains over, and looked at the wolf. With patience in her eyes,and her tail swaying.

'Hello!

Do what? Lost in thought he'd barely heard the hello. This stopped the dripping lion myou in his tracks. There was a wolf, a male wolf by the sounds out it daring to call out to him. Either they were brave or they were stupid. Chasen puffed up his chest, which that and his head was the only thing that hadn't really got wet when he we running back to shore. Just his lower half. So when he looked over his shoulder at a small . . . keiyou that was perched on a rock not to far from him.
Chasen watched, frozen in his place, waiting to see what sort of hokus pokus that the keiyou had in store of him. He watched the figure dig in the sand retrieve something and lope back to it's perch. Feh, he'd carry on, obviously it was the waves crashing on shore that only sounded like a hello. He was clearly losing his mind to his lion soul and to insanity.

He nearly missed the next set of questions because of his internal thoughts, 'Who are you, what species are you. And tell me your business here.

Oh so the little keiyou was being pushy much? He clearly heard that and he turned towards the flying wolf. Curious now as to why he was being bombarded with questions. As he got closer he just stared at her a bit dumbfounded. He could tell this was a female now that he could smell her scent. Though that didn't mean she wasn't being rude. As far as he knew this was loner lands, what his business there was his own. He felt a twinge of anger flare up. Luckily he kept his demeanor like a stone the girl would never know what he was thinking. He just kind of stood there watching as she tore a bird into tiny pieces. He wasn't hungry so she could sit there and enjoy her bird without him wanting any.

Chasen didn't realize he was kind of in creeper status just watching her eat her prey. Well he could answer but he wondered if it was too awkward now to say anything. Finally lion soul gave an internal snarl of boredom so Chasen spoke before it got too awkward.

"Chasen. I'm a lion Myou. And whatever business I have here is mine," he answered everything in order and matter-of-fact. He didn't sound angry or really have any emotion just monotone. He sat down and gave his ear a few scratches with his back leg. Before lazily giving a yawn. He pondered for a minute wondering how this conversation was going to.
