The Heat of the Day (Hazen/Open)

[kora]

Kora lounged alongside a gently flowing stream. Her delicate limbs arranged neatly alongside her. Purple and green patterned vines colored her back and dripped down her sides. Two thick scars stretched along her neck, one on each side, and shone silver. She had hidden the black points on her ears and paws.

The cool earth soaked into her skin as the sun's heat beat upon her coat. The day was hot but so far she refused to degrade herself by panting. Instead she tried to distract herself from the discomfort through practicing with the light. Idly she grabbed random light waves and concentrated them into several balls that hung about the air. Focusing on certain buts of the light she pulled and wove them, changing each of their colors over and over again.

As the heat bore down upon her she concentrated on the floating lights, getting them to swirl about her as they changed from red to white to green and blue. It was rather consuming, having to deal with so many variables, not only keeping the light there and having to deal with multiple ones but switching their hues and moving them about. It had taken her decades to even be able to use this skill and it was good for nothing more than a distraction from her own discomforts.

Wow, she thought, it's beautiful! Kasmira the Lupuse trotted over to the unknown wolf, her bright purple fur reflecting the sun's rays. She noticed the wolf must be quite hot, as was she, and so she concentrated, absorbing the earth's energy. Large, thick bushes appeared to form a sort of small den, perfect for a small group of wolves to take shelter in. She also added bright colorful flowers all around it and beside herself, a sort of habit of hers. Now orange, purple, red, yellow, pink and blue accompanied the green of the bushes. " Hello! My name is Kasmira, but most call me Kas. How are you? If you want, you can join me in the shelter, it's quite hot out today. By the way, I must compliment you on your abilities, they were quite pretty!" she smiled warmly in greeting, and entered her makeshift den, immediately feeling a lot cooler now that the sun did not beat on her back so much.[/scrolly]

Hazen’s discomfort was shown in his every step, he wore a scowl upon his face, his eyes narrowed and with everything that threatened to worsen his discomfort he snapped at it. His fur was decorated with violent shades of red, orange and black. His eyes shone red, making his appearance all the more fearsome. His fur was unkempt in most places but not dirty.
Behind him various rocks, plants and the unfortunate small animals to cross his path lay in ruin. Whether stunned by sudden bursts of light or simply ripped out of the ground only his imagination held him back from what he could do to the things around him.

The core reason of his discomfort was the heat, it was blistering. Why he had come here not even he knew but surely it must be the only place in all the land that was this hot. If even a slight breeze blew or a single cloud floated in the sky then he would be okay. But neither of the two things had happened yet and because he had not gotten what he wanted he took his frustrations ou on the things around him.

Ahead of him he saw one of his own kind playing with light, an interesting past time but why would she play with light in such a blistering place? Why not leave and find somewhere cooler. The arrival of a Lupus did not help much. In fact it worsened the situation. As the Lupus finished speaking he approached, his appearance calming down.
“Good afternoon” He said to the female Lumen, he would not degrade himself to talk to a Lupus on a day like this. Even he had his limits.

Where was he again? Oh yeah, in a hot hell whole!!! He panted as he trotted tiredly and aimlessly across the prairies. Maybe the Republic was nowhere near here. Wherever here was. He was beginning to lose track and focus. Also beginning not to care. Then, he perked his enormous ears, who was that? Babes? He sniffed the air around him... two feminine scents and... ewww what was that musky smell?! It had to be a male. Well damn it all, he thought luck was playing in his hands. But this didn't get the Nautic down, no... there were clearly two new ladies and only one male. He jumped to his feet at such an opportunity. He didn't mind sharing. Of course that didn't mean he liked to either. The various lifeforms surrounding the lush area were quite the distraction on Raustings part. He wanted to take it all in, but kept focus on what matters were at hand. "Now where are you two hiding, my lovely's?" he cooed in a deep husky and romantic tone, half whispering to himself and half to make sure he was still hydrated enough to speak. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/sback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(420), w(340),sy] IC Normal "Talking" Sky flew down and landed in the grass only a bit away from a focused male Lyxxus. What is he doing? Sky though as she crept along to get closer. Even though he was a large Lyxxus, a Keiyou was not to be messed with. A jackalope shot past Sky but she extended a wing to block it's path and then pounced. She wasn't hungry, she simply liked having food just in case. As she went along, not bothering to crouch, bloody jackalope dangling from her white maw, she smiled, happy that she could share her food with more. From what her usually correct noise was telling her, there was another male and two females. Sky walked over to where the Lyxxus was, and looked around to see who he was talking to. She couldn't make out the words, but he was saying something. "Ello her. Ice gof med oo." Mentally kicking herself, Sky dropped the jackalope and said, with an apoligetic smile, "Sorry, lets try that again. I'm Sky, a Keiyou, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I just caught a jackalope, would you like some?" Sky wagged her tail in a friendly gesture, and nudged the bloody jackalope forward. "My food is your food!" She said generously, as she licked her bloody chops. OOC: Sorry its so short, I ran out of time! [/scrolly]

He had to admit he had worked up quite the appetite wandering in the humid forests. What a babe, first she swoops out of no where and greets herself as if she just flew in from heaven. Then she drops food at his paws and gives it to him. So his luck was with him! "Why... it's a pleasure. I'm Nautic... Nautical Rausting. Call me whatever you please, my lady." he bowed elegantly before moving closer to the meat before them. "Nice catch, what's a beautiful babe like yourself doing on the ground with those magnificent wings of yours? If I could take to the skies, you would never see me on the ground..." he continued to flatter her, in hopes of her easing up and becoming friendlier to him. Finding it hard to hold his hunger back, he gingerly took some of the food he was offered and sat across from her, mostly to get a good look at what he was working with. He cocked his head to the side and smelled the air around to see if those other wolves had left or were still around. This makes two babes for the taking... ((Sorry, I really need posts and since we weren't nearby the other wolves I figured it would be alright to skip until they post. And I don't know if they stopped posting or not either. @w@))[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/sback-3.jpg] [scrolly:h(420), w(340),sy] IC Normal, "Talking" Sky blushed so hard that she was sure that the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail was a bright vibrant red. Quickly trying to compose herself, she smiled and said "Nautic? What a lovely name!" She wagged her tail slightly as she watched him take a bite, and then replied "Why, thank you, but the jackalope wasn't very hard to catch. And yes, being in the sky is quite lovely, but when most of the wolves around are land bound, and seeing as I like company, I often have to come down here to talk. Hovering around someone's head is a little akward you see." Sky took another small bite and then said " Have you traveled very far? You look quite tired and hot. And did you smell the other wolves? Do you think it would be rude not to say hello? But if you don't want to, you can stay here and finish up the meat, well I go talk to them." Even though Sky wasn't hungry, it was sticky and humid, so she wanted to see the sights, meet the people, and take to the sky. She stood up, waiting for Nautic's answer, musing over her luck. Four new wolves to meet! Just thinking of it made her tail wag! OOC: Sorry other characters, but you guys were not replying and stuff, so I just posted. I'm making Sky go over and talk to you guys in her next post, so you guys can just hop in then! [/scrolly]

Though she was the one who insisted on going to meet the other wolves. Certainly he couldn't let her go alone. "No that's quite alright... I'll tag along with you. I'll tell you more after were settled with the other wolves then." he leaned down to pick up the fresh prey and took his lead to walk next to Sky. There is no way she's getting away that easily. He mentally noted to himself, his mouth watering at the scent wafting from his maw. Nautic liked this girls attitude, he could get used to this... maybe be like his secret lover that he went to go see outside of the pack grounds ever now and then. Yes, it would be wonderful to have a more leisurely family. He seemed a bit spaced out dawdling about such things in his head.[/scrolly]

She liked compliments and this wolf was giving her loads, she could hang around him a bit more. Sky sniffed the air as Nautic picked up the kill. She walked foward, Nautic at her side, and found herself in front of a little den. There were many beautiful flowers all around the den, and Sky reconnized a flower Lupus at work. In the den was the purple Lupus Sky had met before. "Hello there! It's great to see you!" She barked. She looked around and saw two more wolves, a male and a female. Sky's eyes sparkled as she said to them "Hi, my name is Sky. It's really nice to meet all of you!" In excitment, Sky spread her wings out wide, and quickly folded them back in. "The heat is horrible, isn't it? I'm so used to be flying up in some cold cloud, this heat is killing me!" Sky laughed slightly, and then waited for the wolves to reply. [/scrolly]
