The lands of Ludicael were finally cooling off. After the warmth of summer had finally begun to fade, the small male had begun to spend more time out and about in Ludiceal's territory. It was nice to get out during the day and not want to suffocate. Of course, just to be contrary, that meant that Frino was wandering about at night. There was something to be said for the beauty of Ludicael's territory at night. The glittering, gleaming waters, and the clear stars above his head. He was far from an active stargazer, but that night found Frino carrying himself across the lands on dainty paws.

A cool breeze stirred soft gray fur as the striped creature padded along, each step careful as he meandered through Ludiceal's territory. Time passed in a strange manner as he wandered. It almost seemed to have stopped, honestly. Surely, the sun would be creeping up over the horizon by now? His sense of reality was disordered by the loneliness that threatened to rise up and swallow the social creature. He needed to see other wolves. Frino was, in short, unbearably bored.

And unfortunately that boredom had hit him on a night where there didn't seem to be any other night wanderers. The thought had Frino stopping, frowning slightly as he flopped down to the earth, mere inches from the bank of a slow moving lake. He paused for a moment, a wicked grin spreading across his features as Frino reached out with one to paw to smack the surface of the water. Ripples spread out, and the glitter from the water seemed to grow in brightness until the area was well lit, illuminating Frino for all nearby to see.

If there were any other wanderers, perhaps that would draw them to him. If not, Frino would soon go on the prowl for entertainment. Perhaps he would find it on Ludicael's lands, though at the rate things were going, the thought of heading out into loner lands for at least a short while seemed entertaining. Hmm. What to do? Surely something entertaining would pop up soon, right? Otherwise Frino might die of boredom.

silent steps carried her slowly across the territory, the ludicaen nightwalker that was forged from habit and molded duty taking her time in her steady but purposeful gait. seductress hips swayed ever so slightly, the smallest of bounces present in her step, all a product of the lingering sensations of the night before. the lass cared little that the scent of her alabaster lover, marvel, mingled heavily in the threads of her fiery pelt. peace made her conscience light, the memory of pleasure aiding in lifting it from the weight of the act itself. the night, pleasantly very much like the one before it, was cool, enveloped in the grasp of early fall, its navy sky splattered with a myriad of stars and a half-full moon. had she looked at the same celestial body forty-eight hours ago, the sol might have seen it as half-empty, but with her nerves still singing with her own guilty pleasures, she found little time for pessimism.



it took her little time to come across the sight of a familiar wolf in her wanderings, and for a moment her pulse quickened at the silhouette cast against the gentle glow of the river, conscience flickering back to visualize the handsome face and to hear the lusty words of marvel. after a moment's observation, though, rational observations in to identify the individual as another suitor that she believed had at some point vied after her--frino.



in view should he happen to chance a glance behind him, the fiery-pelted lass settled down upon her stomach, ebony lips curled upward in a smile. the sudden sound of a flash was punctuated with a brief flare of light, informing her that he'd pawed momentarily at the water. amusement became evident upon her visage, violet eyes still intent upon the male. still seeking the element of relative surprise in which to provide further entertainment to her good mood, jupiter wasted no time to speak.



"oh, now, what did the water ever do to you, frino?" the lass chuckled. jupiter shifted her weight to a more relaxed position, still upright but her body fitting more comfortably into the scattered curves of the roots beneath her. "unlike myself, it won't bite." ebony lips closed and remained that way for the moment, though another very slight peal of laughter resounded in her chest, dulled by the lack of passage from her mouth. hm, i'd best be careful, she mused idly in her thoughts, wouldn't want to become the pack's common stale, now, would i?

Flighty and easily distracted, Frino had never been the most observant of wolves, and today was no exception. He was unaware of any audience that he had, and it was only when Jupiter's light voice interrupted his reverie that Frino realized that there were any other wolves out there. Grinning to himself, the gray wolf turned his head to glance in his fiery furred Sol's direction, ears pricking towards the other. Jupiter! What a lovely surprise! Frino hummed a greeting, tail flicking in amusement as he inhaled deeply. Nostrils flared to take in her scent, and after a long moment, a grin stretched across the small male's features. Well, well, well. It seemed that a certain someone had gotten lucky last night. Frino felt a twitch of jealousy rising, but most of it was overridden by sheer amusement. Here was a chance to test his Sol's limits, to see how easily embarrassed she was. Frino figured it would take a lot to make the female feel awkward, but he had wished for entertainment, hadn't he? And it seemed that it had been delivered to him on a silver platter in the form of the female that had slept with the most attractive wolf in their pack. Now, now Jupiter. I don't think Marvel would approve of you biting anyone but him, Not that he cared in the least about that. Nope. Not at all. Still, he could certainly have some fun with this. An amused noise rumbled low in Frino's chest as he continued lightly, Though I must say congratulations! Marvel certainly is a catch. Not as much as me, but I guess you'll have to take what you can get, eh? He wasn't going to lie; Jupiter was quite attractive. And if she were to make a move on him right then, he certainly wouldn't turn her down. However, if the scent on her pelt was any indication, her lust would be sated for a little while yet. That was a disappointment, for sure. Twitching his ears idly, the male grinned, tongue lolling from his mouth as he eyed Jupiter. Speech

jupiter hadn't been oblivious to frino's slight inclination toward the alabaster knight; in fact, the thought of a sexual encounter between the two had been quite... amusing. she'd approached frino knowing that her pelt held more than just her own scent and also knowing that the male was probably used to sniffing out such things on his potential targets. so when his nostrils flared and a smile slipped onto his features, followed closely by some witty remarks, jupiter wasn't at the least bit surprised.



"i can bite whoever i please," she said simply, a smirk spreading across her countenance. feeling a little bold, jupiter decided to test and see if her earlier assumptions about frino's lust toward marvel were correct. "hope you're not jealous," came her snarky remark, "as i know you wanted a piece of him, as well." she tossed a catty wink his way grin turning wickedly mischievous.

Frino had to admit that he was amused by Jupiter's almost sharp response. "Wouldn't want Marvel getting jealous, though, would we?" He countered playfully, ears twitching idly as he examined his Sol. "As much as I'm sure I would enjoy it, I wouldn't dream of causing drama in my lovely Sol's life." Was that Frino messing around? Indeed it was. For he certainly would not mind causing trouble. In fact, drama was his bread and butter. He lived for it; he adored it. But his feelings had Marvel had become more consuming than his lust for drama swiftly. Not that that was something that Frino was going to be confessing any time soon. But it looked like he didn't need to. Jupiter had figured out more than she had let on in public, it seemed. Snorting lightly, Frino turned turquoise eyes on his Sol and smirked. "Only a little," Frino responded lightly, "But I'm sure there's enough of him to go around, eh?" Not that he really thought anything was going to happen. Frino was well aware of the fact that most males preferred females. That was the way that the world worked. And that meant that Frino was more than a little abnormal. Not that the male was really bothered by that. Normal was all too boring after all. "And if there's not, well, maybe I'll challenge you for him, huh?" Now he was laughing easily, making fun of his rather lacking fighting skills without a care in the world. That was one of his favorite things about his Sol. She was much less strict than most Alphas, and he adored her personality. And her ass. That too. Everything about her was pleasant. And yet here he was, head over paws for the male that she had been having sex with. Life wasn't exactly fair, was it? Speech
