It's my life, it's now or never
More often than not Alpine would find himself stretched out against the plush moss of the earthen floor a few paces from the widespread space of Wolfpaw Lake. It was a comfortable setting with the dull shine of the sun peering through the shimmering mirage of clouds and casting a pale golden light that was not too bright nor too cool. The day would stretch out before him, for once empty and thoughtless. Already he had spent time with the errant pup, placed an offering of food to the recently birthed mother who still hardly dared to venture into the pack life.
No, he felt utterly at ease without the chores of the day, and with his special gift tucked between his paws he would find himself utterly relaxed, his tail swished lazily behind him as his crystal blue eyes blinked lazily out into the equally stunning blue of the water. His head rested against folded forepaws and his back legs tucked gently to his side. He looked the picture of peace and relaxation as he allowed himself to soak in the sunny fay and crisp blue sights.
"Speech"

Her elegant neck would lean back slightly, causing her muzzle to nuzzle him gently. She would listen as he greeted her softly, her delicate pink tongue would slide from her lips to kiss him on the cheek. She was tickled to hear how well he found himself doing. "Relaxing sounds perfect." she would sink lower to the earth. Letting her form loose and allowing the sun to relax her aches away. "I'm alright," her head would move to nuzzle him.?
Despite the presence of his friend, or perhaps even aided from her presence he found himself unable to shake the dregs of drowsiness. It was too relaxing, too peaceful here beside her for him to shake full conciousness into his being. The soft touch of her nose against him would warrant another few drowsy blinks of his eyes, as they flickered open he would see Twig's face so close to him. It would be then that her tongue would flick out and brush lightly against his form. A soft pink tone would creep against his cheeks at the intimate touch, and surprised at his reaction he would bury his head further into the softness of her neck.
He felt her shift beneath him, to relax and calm and find contentment before again her muzzle would softly caress his coat. It was so nice, and calming and open that he found his own lips parting, and words slipping free. ?Twig, I don't want to burden you with my own worries, but.. I've had something on my mind for the past few days. Perhaps you would be an ear for me?? he asked her softly, knowing that to ask this of her was more then to ask a content being for all her own pains easily threatened to swallow her whole. ?I.. I don't know if you know, but I was courting a girl of the pack, Lyric. She's a gorgeous, lovely girl? here he would sigh, his relaxed state shifting to one of anxiety. ?However.. something changed. Something in me, and I don't know what.. and.. it just wasn't the same.. so I.. I spoke to her, and I believe I broke her heart? he buried his eyes against her check, hiding against the world.
"words"
A sigh would escape his lips as his words completed their course and he would wait for her answer. Would she confirm his thoughts? Agree to the harshness of his actions the wrong he had committed? But the head she lifted and leaved to him was not filled with a judged expression, but rather one of empathy for Alpine and his fate. Again, warm red would seep against his cheeks, in that thought that it was him that she felt for and not the poor Lyric. He did not think he deserved her gentle words, but that did not change how nice it was to hear them.
?I... suppose? he allowed, but he was not so forgiving of himself as she was of him. He truly did hope that love healed her, that she found someone again, because he knew that she deserved it. It was so wrong of him.. how could he have changed? What had changed him? Was it all that had befallen him within these pack lands? But still, he did not understand how his connection to Lyric had been so utterly cut. It was as through his heart desired something else, he was just incapable of working out what. ?Is there any who have your eyes? Any I have to ok?? he would tease her gently back, with thoughts still on love it was hard to talk about anything else.
