The sounds of footsteps was nearly inaudible. There was no way to distinguish it from the velvet steps of a feline. No extended claws clicked upon what little earth was exposed. -The grass and moss were so thick in places even Verboten could not hear her own movement. It gave her chills, to know she was here but- in a way- not here. Not from the amount of noise she was making- about zilch.
Ears back, and eyes on the horizon, it was a rather lonely existence. -Ever since she had fled that pack, two years ago, she had been wandering. -Travelling here, and there. Joining this pack and that pack- but nothing ever stuck. It seemed like there was a curse on her. –Birth pack taken over, and her second? Slaughtered; half of them were killed on-sight. So it was no surprise that she didn’t join another pack. She’d been tempted, it was true, but there was never that someone , never anything to keep her there. Nothing to gravitate her, keep her centered like a boat with an anchor.
There was no one.
That was how it was, how she feared privately, inwardly, how it would be forever. She’d hit her eight-tail mark and poof! Still no one to care for her. Or vice versa. So it was with a heavy heart she had started here, once again, in the Prairie—she’d come before, but not only was in winter, but not a single person was there. And so she’d left. And continued her travels. Her tail had split once since she’d been here last, and she hoped that there might be someone, anyone, here. Ears flicked forwards and back, nose lifted to the air and dropped down dejectedly. Not one single wolf here! Not a Lupus, a Cael (though, of course, she’d seen one and fallen in love with that species and doubted one would be here in their beautiful tail-skins.
Her tails—all four of them—were in various positions. One hung low, very low, so low it brushed the ground; the position an Omega would put in; the next was higher, but not much; the position of any loner; the third rested in the position a Beta might put it—not high in the Alpha position, below, aligned with her body. The fourth, and the final, it stood straight; curved slightly over her body. Her tails were all long, reddish-brown, and though they looked like a wolf’s, there was something distinctly feline about them, about the way they moved. They weren’t rigid, or limp. They swayed, the moved softly in a cat-like way, and they looked so intriguing. So very intriguing.
She moved a bit faster, plush tails waving. Claws still retracted, she stopped. There was a little creek to her right, in a copse of birch, timber and oak trees, and just inside the shade was a large mound of grass. Not a mound, exactly, but enough to make a soft nest to sleep in for a little while. She felt her muzzle pull back into a smile, before it morphed into a yawn, her neck and mouth muscles clenched and then released. Without another thought, she moved forward.
Towards the shade.

His long seven tails whisked in the low winds. Nautic felt refreshed and raring to travel back and find the republic. He knew they weren't near the tundra's and so back to the deserts he strode.
"Damn directions... where was I supposed to go from her-" his thoughts were interrupted by such a long and oh so alone and slender female resting in a patch of grass nearby.
"My oh my, what a sight for sore eyes... my luck is turning around already." Nautic grinned as he slowly made his way over to her, his muscles rippling under his splotched fur and his periwinkle gaze seducing. He leaned over her sleeping form and whispered to her as he licked his lips.
"Why... hello there. What's a sexy babe like yourself doing all alone out here with no one to travel with?" Nautic wanted so badly to pounce on her and shower her with his lustful love. Maybe she was looking for the Republic as well? The thought made his heart skip a beat. [/scrolly] | [atrb=background,http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q21/winkatuck/nauticlolcopy-1.png,true] | |

Ah, yes, Verboten had not quite recovered from her sudden bout of a need for a nap, and so she hadn’t realized as a male came towards her. His eyes gleam a pale blue, and his seven tails swayed in the breeze. Verboten remained asleep, eyes closed and breathing slow. It wasn’t until he spoke that her ears flicked forwards and she opened her eyes a slit. She’d never been much of a flirt, and so she dreaded trying to come up with something witty, should he flirt with her.
“Why... hello there. What's a sexy babe like yourself doing all alone out here with no one to travel with?”
|
[/i] Her eyes opened more, flashing a sky blue. The slitted pupils were wide, and they shrank rapidly, like she was narrowing her eyes. Which she looked like she was doing anyway, what with squinting up and him; and so instead she opened her eyes fully and blinked rapidly, clearing her throat. Her four tails, previously resting in various places in the hay nest around her, suddenly seemed to gain a sense of awareness and stood up a little straighter, fluffing out to give her an unintentional sort of stage of red behind her. Her eyes flicked over him, taking him in with a single glance. A strange gleam was in his eye, but she wasn’t truly paying much attention to that, instead as to what she was going to say. Involuntarily, she thought of another she-wolf she had met, the Alpha female who’d taken over her birth pack. She’d been a flirt with every male—related or not, and this continually made her mate worry whether the new batch of cubs was his or not. Channel her! And so the Lyxxus imagined she was walking into the other wolf’s self. “Nothing much, actually… What about yourself, hmm? Certainly there should be some other females hanging around with someone like you, am I right?” She hoped that he would turn out to be a bit smarter and less hormonal then most males. “Or did you happen to loose them? –I’d be glad to fill in,” Verboten also hoped he wouldn’t take that the wrong way and then suddenly, Where did this flirting come from? –How am I able to do this so easily? –Is it because I’m pretending to be that wench? Instead, she felt her face turn into an answering smile. She raised her eyebrows, wagging one of her tails. [/color][/size][/left][/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

There are babes like me that just want to be in the heat all the time?! He wasn't sure whether or not to take that as a compliment but when he noticed her difference in stance he was more than excited to see her full figure. A coy smile also graced his own face as he continued to soak in what she was saying. That's right! He nearly forgot to ask!
"Fill in-you say? I would like that quite a bit m'lady...I am Nautic, former Alpha and current loner, call me whatever you please." here came the compliments, anything to make she wolves happy. He felt they held the world together and without them life would be nothing. As he continued in thought he brought up the real question.
"It seems you are a loner as well, am I right? I was wondering if you had a pack in mind? Cause babe, I was heading to a certain pack where we are the only ones. We are the supreme species... does that idea sound like a plan to you?" Nautic walked past her slowly as he took in her scent and let his tails tease the side of her body. "Or does meeting me sound a bit much, cause right now I am lost in your presence." [/scrolly] | [atrb=background,http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q21/winkatuck/nauticlolcopy-1.png,true] | |

As he moved closer, Verboten realized with dismay that he had taken her comment the wrong way. But, a small and often squashed part of reason said, but that’s a good thing! To hell with befriending him! And, as usual, no part of her heeded it’s thoughts. Her tails moved up and she stood, straightening and flicking her tails in a respectful and slightly submissive position. He moved forward, speaking.
"It seems you are a loner as well, am I right? I was wondering if you had a pack in mind? ’Cause babe, I was heading to a certain pack where we are the only ones. We are the supreme species... does that idea sound like a plan to you?”
|
[/i] “Hmmm…. Does that idea seem like a plan to me?” Ha ha, time to play hard to get... she thought silently. Her tails all flicked, one by one, like a ripple of motion. “Oh… I don’t know…” Verboten said coyly, another and much more wicked smile floating on the edge of her black lips. “Or does meeting me sound a bit much, cause right now I am lost in your presence.” “I’ve been known to have that affect,” She smiled, eyes flickering. “But meeting you? Nautic, Nautic…” Her voice cushioned his name as it sent it out, her tone lilting softly. “I’ve already met you—and have quite begun to like what I’m finding.” He was near her now, sniffing her, brushing his tails against her torso as he slipped past. She stepped forward suddenly, away from him, and pivoted on her front right paw, moving rapidly to face him again. This time she crouched, hindquarters wagging, tails flaring out in a warm red sunburst. “And I’m hoping you’re free, dear, ’cause I’ll be staying a bit longer.” And then she stood up again, loosing the feline crouch, trotting forward to him yet and again and drawing her nose up his side, not touching but close enough to touch if she wanted. A soft chuckle escaped her mouth, and she looked at him with wickedly glinting sky eyes. In their depths, if he looked, he would find a softly pleading desperation. Something she tried unsuccessfully to hide. A need to find someone to stay with, if only for a while. [/color][/size][/left][/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

Then she did something a bit surprising to the male.
“I’ve been known to have that affect,”
This sent chills down his spine as she continued to refer to him as something quite interesting to her. So she was in for something like that? He was more than happy to oblige if that was the case. The wind picked up as she turned around to avoid him getting near her like that. So she wanted to play hard to get, eh?
"I do believe so... if we are heading to the same pack my dearest..." he let it roll off his tongue in a fancy manner. His sandy splotched form began to circle her...his voice husky as he stated. "Stay as long as you like. I'm not going anywhere."[/scrolly] | [atrb=background,http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q21/winkatuck/nauticlolcopy-1.png,true] | |

“My name? Verboten, though you can call me V or Boten.” Adding on, “Though I prefer Boten.” Flinging in a genuine smile, she breathed deeply once more, drawing in his scent spore, before releasing it. Ears forward, tails flaring out again, she coughed. “But tell me about this pack. It’s all Lyxxi? And only Lyxxi?” She sounded a tad disappointed—you recall she loves Caels as much as Lyxxi—but covered it up with her curiosity.
“Where is it? –Who’s the leader?” She asked, eyes looking down at her red and white paws. Verboten feared that it might be the pack she’d left all those years ago—though of course it couldn’t be still around? Surely it had to have been killed off or disbanded? A cold thread of fear tricked through her body, clutching firmly ’round her heart. She’d never go back there; no body would ever make her go back there!
Nautic seemed highly optimistic, but he held the one thought that had been the basis of rules in that pack: “Lyxxi are smarter, stronger, and overall better then any other wolf species” was the chant they would have to learn. You found a different wolf on the land? –Chase it off or kill it if it was feisty. Shaking off the doubt, “At least you don’t mind me hanging around—I’ll be with you for a while, long as you’ll keep me.” She winked.

Thinking to himself he replied what was on his mind. "I like that name... ahhh Boten then." he nodded.
The larger male cocked his head to one side and turned to look at Boten with a lustful gaze as he continued. "I believe it's somewhere in the desert... some guy named Tobias I wanna say I've heard them call him..." Nautic wanted to meet this guy, and then take him down once he got to know him... he would be alpha someday and re-live his past. He would make things right and fix his history!
"I won't ever make that mistake again!" Nautic snarled suddenly, then gasped and rubbed his face with his paws in embarrassment. "Sorry... I got a bit lost in thought..." sighing as he gave his ears a good lick or two out of force of habit.

Sure, i would love to see how Nautic reacts to a male approaching them xD (since he is a bit of a homophobic who is only keen on males that hold higher statuses in his own pack!)

[scrolly:h(197),w(410),sy] Raynor ran along the prairie, his muscles rippling with graceful ease. His golden highlights in his sleek black pelt glimmered in the sun and his large form streaked along the long, swaying yellow grasses. He was a Cael, and they were usually awkward out of water, but years of forced training had made him strong and versatile, ready for anything in and out of water: Though he had to admit he preferred water.
He stopped for a minute atop a small hill, and his golden eyes scanned the area for any sign of life. He saw below two more wolves, two Lyxxi by the looks of it. He had finished his patrol of the Alliance's lands, and had some time to spare, so he descended the hill with his long strides, and came up to them. "Hello. And how are you today? My name is Raynor, and I'm a fighter for the Philia Alliance." he introduced himself in his low, melodious voice.
Always up for company, he sat down, and smiled amiably at the pair. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" He glanced at the male Lyxuss, thinking he was looking rather oddly at the female.[/scrolly]

((I don’t mind! )) The red Lyxxus female smiled softly, her tails twining with the males. She giggled, cursing herself silently afterwards, smiling and looking out over the lands. Ah, what had once been a cell, bleak and barren, now held beauty. The flowers had looked washed out, bland, and colorless. Now, they almost glowed with color and swayed softly in the breeze. Unsure what to say, the other Lyxxus spoke.
“I believe it's somewhere in the desert... some guy named Tobias I wanna say I've heard them call him...”
Dismay was clear on her softly rosy face. “Desert? Er… isn’t it really hot and dry out there?” –Desert! That would mean… no Cael’s. She’d been able to get a hint of when they were in their land forms—clumsy Lupus didn’t exist. But not one would be out there! Her affinity would prevent her from joining them? She fretted, shifting as she decided. Suddenly, the male snarled something—though what, Verboten couldn’t quite hear. Something about mistakes. Had he perhaps thought of something, a mistake? –What was he doing out here, anyway, unless he was going to a different pack…
“Sorry… I got a bit lost in thought...”
“Oh, it’s alright, I’ve done that quite a bit myself…” Verboten let the sentence trail off, getting lost in her own train of thought, staring out across the bright and cheery fields. Silence, it was a beautiful thing… –Until it was broken. The transgressor was a black wolf, whose pelt glinted highlighted golden. He was large and had a commanding presence, something about him made Verboten feel childish. Her fur grew hot with embarrassment, and she coughed.
“Hello. And how are you today? My name is Raynor, and I'm a fighter for the Philia Alliance. I'm not interrupting anything, am I?” He added, sitting down and smiling at them.
“Err…. No, no you’re not. I’m Verboten,” She didn’t introduce Nautic, she thought he was capable of introducing himself. “…The Philia Alliance isn’t ’round here, now is it? I’d hate to be on their lands…” Though she didn’t sound one bit sorry at all…

Another male had entered the situation. His mood quickly changed from his usual flirtatious self to a more serious tone. He cleared his throat and shifted uncomfortably... his tails falling limp to the ground when he did so.
"Ah, nice to meet you. I'm Nautic... and no..." he peered over to Boten as she responded, I guess you're not he added mentally and half angrily to himself. Leave it to another male to butt in and make the situation awkward in his opinion. "Oh, are you? Guess it must be nice to have a pack to call your own huh?"
Calm down, he's just a passerby... nothing to see here. He will probably lose interest and leave soon anyways. Meantally Nautic hoped. Oh how he hoped. [/scrolly] | [atrb=background,http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q21/winkatuck/nauticlolcopy-1.png,true] | |

[scrolly:h(197),w(410),sy] The Cael glanced back and forth between the two small wolves, sensing a hidden undercurrent between the two: It was tacit that there was something going on between the two, but hadn't been said out loud. Raynor puzzled over this for a second: He would leave if they wanted him to, but as the female welcomed him with a bit too much friendliness, the male seemed less than open. He mentally shrugged: There was no use thinking about something that didn't affect him or those he loved in some way.
Raynor knew he was large for a Cael, but the Alliance was mostly composed of Lumen and Lupuse, so he was used to being the same height as most wolves. However, Lyxxi were smaller wolves, and it made him feel bigger, even if he already was. He smiled, his golden eyes curious: "No, no, you're not tress passing at all, though it is near here. Pleased to meet you both." Nautic's serious and almost bitter words struck a nerve in the male, and he thought for a moment: What was he getting at it? He answered slowly in his deep voice: " Yes, it is nice, a family to count on. Are you two in any packs?" he asked them, his tail twitching.
He had nothing against loners, but even though he knew many tough Lyxxi, they were still in more of a danger being alone because of their smaller size. Concern creased his features for a second, before he remained neutral once again. [/scrolly]

"No, no, you're not trespassing at all, though it is near here. Pleased to meet you both. Yes, it is nice, a family to count on. Are you two in any packs?"
"Well, to tell the truth, I'm not in a pack......" Something bothered Verboten, something to do with the new wolf and the way he looked. His eyes... something was strange about his eyes. -Beautifully golden, yes, very beautiful. A lupus, perhaps, a very strong lupus. Of course, lupus had eyes of all shades. Then it hit her, what she'd learned before. Lupus are- relatively- graceful. Cael aren't. Not on land, anyway. Ah, the beauty of realization hit- but the only way to tell for sure would have him walk. And how, exactly, do you plan on doing that, hmm? 'Sir, would you mind walking back and forth, I'd like to see if you're a Cael'? Her voice of reason hissed, blatantly shaking its head.
"You're eyes are really... something." I did not just say that. Please, please, tell me I DID NOT just say that. She wanted to kick herself, when the voice of reason came back, nagging.
What'd I tell you? You'd screw it up, I knew it. the voice sounded like it was just having a good old time, chowing down on some pheasant or jackalope. Gah, would you stop nagging me? The voice: Nag? NAG? Honey, you are FULL of hormones, trust me, I'd rather be somewhere else. You are a little nag yourself, remember what that other Lyxxus said? 'Don't get all high and mighty.' Herself: Oh shut up. The voice: And if I don't want to? Herself: I'll make you. The voice: I am shaking. Herself: Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? The voice: Honey, you're talking to yourself. Who's being sarcastic? You, me, or us? Herself: Apparently, the silence must be broken here, the conversation has just started. The voice: You're not... kicking me out? Herself: ...Well, bye now!
And with that, she firmly took a sledgehammer and beat down the voice, before shaking her head and turning towards the wolf again. Her perception of time was that she had just allowed a long enough time to pass for the air to get awkward. She was right, in her opinion at least. "I... like the gold. It... looks... nice. with the contrast." She smiled sheepishly, weakly.
