It was quite blistering today and the area was buzzing with activity as usual. There! He saw some movement in some grass not far off behind some lone oak trees. The antlered head of the jackalope jumped up in search for predators. By the time it had done so, it was far too late. Nautic was hot on the hare's heels, playing with his food as he nipped at it's ankles. The blood was trailing behind the poor creature as he finally pounced it, teeth meeting neck as he snapped it quickly, ending it's life. He began to munch loudly on the carcass in the shade of a few stray bushes, for Nautic... life was good. He didn't want to waste but he had to admit he was quite full and still half of a jackalope left at his paws. Looking around he was hoping maybe, just maybe... a babe might come by and want to chill with him. Okay so it was a bit too hot to chill- but they could embrace each others heat together. The thought aroused the sex driven male as he shifted uncomfortably by his kill.[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] Ariana walked through the golden grasses of the prairie the evening sun turning her golden pelt even golder than before. And despite the time the prairie was full of life and the suns heat remained in the air. She flapped her orange and black wings to fan herself as she trotted through the grass. She didn't know what had brought her here, maybe it was the food? Or just coincidince but she hoped to find out soon. She saw a jackalope nibbling on some of the grass stems and her stomach growled, she hadn't eaten in days or rather she refused to but she would keep herself alive...for now. She lowered herself to the ground, she couldn't remember the last she had hunted so she doubted she could catch it. The in a flash it took off with something chasing it. She looked closer only to see a lyxxus snapping at its heels and by the smell of it he was a male. She didn't like males, for everytime she saw one she thought of the ones that had either chased out or killed her family aswell as tried to kill her. Sure this one was small but she didn't know what he was like. She approached him cautiously her belly low to the ground her snowy white tail wagging a tiny bit hoping the male wouldn't hurt her. She would starve if she didn't eat soon and she couldn't catch anything so it would only make matters worse. Her ears remained flattened as her dark legs swept over the ground her glowing antennae dangling over her bright sunset coloured eyes hoping the male would be kind enough to share.

He nuzzled the rest of the prey towards her a shy smile crossing his maw to help such a fine and unfortunate lady in need. Thus, he felt the need to introduce himself. "Names Nautical Rausting... call me what you please. I couldn't help but notice you seemed pretty hungry. Help yourself, I'm not really hungry for food..." he felt his whole body heat up as he let his thoughts wander of him and this fair mannered mistress mixing odors. Could he ever keep his cool around these female beasts? He pondered as his seven tails twitched back and forth in a friendly manner. Babes, his only weakness, seemed everywhere he turned lately... he would never be lonely if he were the only male left on the face of earth. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] To Ari's luck the male tossed her half of the jackalope she crawled forward quickly gulping it down in famished bits then she stood up and sat down relaxing a bit letting her eyes wander over the purple eyed lyxxus. "I-I'm Ariana but you may call me Ari, thank you for the Jackalope that was very kind of you but I best be going, I don't want to be a bother." She turned to leave her head and tail low where they usually were. The wag had disappeared and she sighed as she headed off to who knew where, the life of a loner had been terribly hard on her with the loss of her mate, her family aswell as her pack and home. And she doubted shed have all that again her life was pointless now. She was unloved and uncared for as usual and nothing or no one could change that. (sorry its short/crappy ran outa time)

There was no way a babe would just come and go... nu-uh not on Nautic's watch. He knew secretly that she wanted him... but she was playing shy. "Now hold on just a minute sweets... where do you think you're going so fast?" The large Lyxxus took charge of the Sennyo and rested his chest on her back end. His arms grasping her hind legs loosely. Nautic being dangerously close to his target... but he jumped down and circled around her to get a better look at her. Damn she was pretty thin for a Sennyo. "Ari... let me help you. I could easily catch something more or even escort you to where ever it is you are headed. You do have a destination... do you not?" he gave her a sly smirk with a questioning gaze. He finished on a good note. "Please, you are anything but a bother to me... the ladies are what I live for darling."[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] If Ari was anything but nice she would have given the male a smack over the head for chasing after her and grabbing her that way. But as it was she was nice so she merely bared her teeth and tried to shrug him off but he had already come to stand in front of her. "No it's fine. And no, I have no destination as I have no home my old one was taken over and my family has disappeared along with my mate, I have been walking for over six years alone and have finally reached here now I only seek a place to call home." She sat down her eyes looking into his gorgeous purple ones, maybe the male could help her, she had no way to defend herself as she could not fight and barely could hunt. He could pretect her dispite his size as she had heard that some lyxxus were great fighters. But she didn't want to trouble him anymore she would only answer after he did as she didn't want to sound desperate.

Ari was a fighter inside when she wanted to be, noticing her flare up at his action to unnerve her and test her emotions. Nautic wasn't one to tease much but he was one to find out about a lady's personality. "Is that all? I am sorry for your loss babe, but you need to move on. Life won't stop for anyone... well except those harbingers... well you get my point love." Nautic could see the desperation in her eyes even though her body struggled to bury all her negative air and emotion about the situation. This lyxxus felt he had only begun to serve his purpose to this lady. Someone who always feels as a burden to people. He had to admit he hated wolves with that personality, it was as if they didn't have their own to begin with. The large lyxxus gave a soft smile, time to play the daring knight in shining armor with a romantic side. He knew he had to take it slow and easy with this one. He turned around to let one or two of his tails skim the bottom of her maw as he took a few steps forward. "I'm looking for a home myself, we could stick together until death do us part..." he laughed again then quickly grunted correcting himself. "...err, till we find where we belong M'lady."[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] Ari was about to snarl when Nautic asked if that was it, it was everything. But she had to admit she needed and escort and if he was willing she was sure it would turn out just fine. She lifted her head as he curled his tails under her jaw. She smiled sllightly "Thank You Nautic, I hope it's no trouble. Do you know of any packs that I may be able to join, any that would accept someone like me? Someone who can't hunt, can't fight and is practically useless." She hoped he did so that she wouldn't have to live the difficult life of a loner anymore. She walked up to him, maybe he would be happier to help if she could do something for him something that wouldn't make her feel so useless. "Is there anything I can do for you in return, anything at all?"

All in due time, just remember that you owe me. After all, my dear, there is a time and place for everything... is there not? And right now is not exactly the time for you to repay me. But all in due time Ariana, all in due time." the thought made his lick his lips as his maw threatened to drool. The idea of him taking her in his own passion driving the male insane as he forced himself to put the thoughts away. Then he thought about the question she had addressed before. He could see her to other clans and make sure she found where she belonged. Or maybe she could join him with this all Lyxxi pack he was searching for? Surely she would feel left out though... he realized in the end he would have her though... and that was deep down... the only thing on his mind at that moment. Was there ever a time mating wasn't the top priority on his list? "Hmmm... well if you do not hunt or fight... what kind of position were you expecting? I'm sure there are plenty of places that have positions that do not require you to do so..." he gave her a thoughtful glance as he turned to face her for a moment, taking in her antenna's atop her skull. Something different about a Sennyo's from other wolves that Nautic found quite attractive.[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] Ari looked at him surprised to hear that he didn't want anything at the moment but still she had to make sure she wouldn't want to feel useless. "Are you sure there is nothing I can do for you now?" She nodded when he continued on "I guess. Do you know of any so that we may look for one in particular. Maybe you could join?" She was enjoying his company so far expecially because she hadn't talked to a soul in over six years and she had been becoming dreadfully lonely. She noticed that the male was staring at her in particular her antennae. She herself thought they were gorgeous just the way they glowed gold all the time like miniature suns. She couldn't help but smile a bit. Then tried to shake them away from her eyes since it especially made her eyes glow but sometimes the light got annoying. She looked at Nautic his purple eyes naturally glowed with such radiance also allowing him to see better at night than most. She looked up at the quickly darkening sky "So should we spend the night or continue on now?" she hoped he would like to stay the night as she didn't like travelling the the dark..

[atrb=cellPadding,0,false][atrb=cellSpacing,15,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,500,true][atrb=height,333,true][cs=3][scrolly:h(300),w(220),sy,c()] Nautic felt a shiver travel down his spine. It was getting a bit late, and Ariana seemed a bit uncomfortable about the idea leaving now. Surely he could easily make a move then? Oh, but he was just getting started! Yes, staying the night in the Prairie seemed the ideal at that moment. "I'll tell you what Ari... you might just have an ingenius idea there..." he noted, looking for any signs of a comfortable resting place. He licked his lips once more, more in thought of something else than to taste the air. What was she asking him again? "Oh, you want me to join a different pack?" he hadn't really thought about opening his doors, he just really wanted to climb up in ranks and become alpha of a pack. Then again, it didn't mean he had to be in an all lyxxi pack. Maybe he would be looked at as someone even more powerful if he could control all wolves of a society? "We can talk more about that in the morning I suppose. But I did have a pack already in mind, I just can't seem to find them." with that the male let his body graze against her own as his pheromones were thick and musky. Taking the lead he found a soft ditch in the ground covered with bits of moss that were just soaking up the early dew of the night. "Here looks like a good place to rest." he said aloud, stretching and laying out on the soft patches of grass.

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] Ari glanced at him "Well only if you want to, I myself dont like being a loner and thought maybe you didn't either. But if you prefer a loner or another pack then you could just help me get there. But it would be nice to have a friend, I don't have very many." her smile disappeared and she looked to the sky as the sun disappeared then looked up to see her antennae glow even brighter showering her in golden light like lanterns. She watched as Nautic licked his lips once more as he had been doing for awhile then went to what looked like a ditch. She followed him towards it and as she reached it she started to walk down hoping that no snakes lay beneath the grass but as her eyes searched the ground she didn't see the rock and when she put her paw on it, it slid and down she fell knocking right into Nautic she quickly got up and looked back at him a guilty look on her face. "I'm sorry very sorry, I just slipped I didn't mean to hit you." but she shut up after that and just walked a bit further away from him then lay down staring at the ground she then lay her head down and closed her eyes slowly drifting to sleep. (OOC: the next few posts be dream convo XD so fun)

Though it seemed she was very apologetic... Nautic could care less if thousands of she wolves threw themselves into him. Nautic chuckled a bit and he got up and untangled himself from her and his long lustrous tails. "Tis quite alright, my dear..." as he felt his whole body start to heat up with excitement. Resistance was almost futile at this point. But he kept strong, he would not give into his cravings so easily. He had plans in mind and doing so now would just jeopardize everything. When she scooted away from him to rest elsewhere, he couldn't help but feel a bit giddy at how beautiful her sleeping form was. In fact, he almost half loathed her beauty. His instincts told him to make a move... so he made quite the gentle one and settled for resting beside her, Ari's silken red fur against his own sandy pelt. As he too soon, fell into slumber. -------------------------------------- "Wh-where am I?" Nautical rubbed his paws over his head as he sat up from a crouching position. His periwinkle gaze scanned the area. Why did it all appear so familiar to him? Why couldn't he remember? Before he knew it he was surrounded by babes of every sort... from lupus to lyxxus and even to yagi. He followed them one by one, sniffing their back ends curiously in a daze. "Hehe... come play with us Nautic... oh please." they all cheered together. He felt drool dribble at the bottom of his maw. Where to start? "Now now ladies... there is plenty to go around... one at a time..." he struck a handsome strut his tails becoming elastic as the wrapped around their bodies teasingly. After all, anything can happen in a dream. This poor lyxxus just couldn't grasp that he was dreaming. Then it cut immediately to a cold crisp night... desert and dead trees the only thing in sight. "We will never accept someone so raunchy and grotesque as you Nautic! You filthy little Man whore!" Another lyxxus snarled at him on the open battlefeild. "T-t-tillix?" He automatically felt his ears flatten in shame as another familiar face raised their body from the sand. "What have you done to me?! I trusted you!" The gray keiyou cried out... her body heavy with pups. "You just left me! How could you?! I loved you!" tears streaming down her face. "S-sky? I- I'm sorry!" The large male felt himself shrink to the size of a bug, all the women towering over him... then it was all black as he awoke again, startled. "Wh-what's going on?" he stood again, a bit unsure what was going to happen next...[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z341/awaywithmysanity/ArianaTable2.png] Ariana tossed and turned one moment she was dreaming of her past as a pup playing with her sister as her mother watched over them then it blurred swirling around until she was tossed into something else. Little did she know she was being thrown into Nautic's dream, the same thing had happened when she had met Hazen on the mountain top. She concentrated on her own dream to try and get the blurriness to stop then opened her eyes to find herself back in her old home. She was alone in her packs cave but it was empty, right across from her sat Nautic looking startled. "Nautic?" she walked over to him. In her dreams she was how she used to be rather than now but still this wasn't her dream it was Nautic's but little did she know she was changing it. But as she focused on her dream it quickly turned to a nightmare. The thundering of the waterfall changed to actual thunder as two mortui stepped into the cave snarling. She looked at Nautic, why was he here? But then it hit her, this was Nautic's dream but she didn't know she was controlling it she quickly walked over to him. "Nautic! Think of a place! Any place quickly!" She waited for him to think of something as the two wolves drew nearer and nearer their snarls growing louder.

"You are just a bunch of babies for cornering and trying to attack someone like Ariana..." then he blinked and before him were two lupus pups whimpering and crying. "Agh, god! Make them stop!" he gave a frustrated look as he growled at them, one of them trying to play with his tails. ((sorry it's so short xD! I just loved the idea though and don't have much more idea what to happen next.)) [/scrolly]
