Obsidian lips parted from their meeting, ivory's were at a glimmer every once in a twitch of their sheath's lift. Unthreatening and even soothing to a point, the rose colored tongue belonging to the large male lapped at the water's edge. Like a rhythmic pattern it flicked backwards and pulled the crisp liquid into his long, narrow maw. Titanium optics came slowly to a close only to be forced open as he neared the edge of satiation. A sigh escaped his lungs, rosy tongue stretching over his lowered lips to grab at the water that had clung to his silver whiskers.
He lifted his dial, auds flicking back against his skull as he starred forward for a moment, a thought popping into his calm, revived mind, and suddenly the aura of the lake had drawn him towards it, almost as if a force had made him do it, the brute stepped forward, long, spindled legs pushing into the waters edge. Twilight bugs were buzzing, gnats and flies beginning to die down for the night. Wide set pads pushed into the darkening sands, reed's kissing at the brute's underbelly. The rustle of their leaves picking up as the winds grew louder for a moment, blowing over the surface of the water as ripples opened and scaled from around the brute. His moment of tranquility was gone as the pup-like male managed to gain a glint of amusement in his eye, being alone he let himself charge forth, his paws picking up, and waves splashing about I'm as he submerged himself before the crisp, cool shore. His ruckus allowed the last of the settling song birds to fly off to find a more comfortable area to rest without the business of a big black pup to disturb them.
Claws ripped into the pebbled sands about the lakes edge, lifting his dial and top line above the lake's edge as he slowly walked about, lapping and biting at the waves he created every once in awhile, losing himself in that moment of bliss.
Purpose and practise had wound themselves so deep within her genetic clockwork, digging trenches further beneath porous flesh with every month of responsibility that had passed. The days of paradise were well and truly void of her youthful mind, a young vulpess with the world once ahead of her; only now she had committed herself to a lifelong liability. As the daughter of a King one could easily grow weary, drained perhaps, beneath the pull of his heavy expectations. Spirit had all but fled the golden gaze of her curious stare, standing silently and warily against the golden river stones that would beg for her to near the water?s edge. However she was far too lost within her envy, watching as the man toyed so innocently with the lapping of water that tugged eagerly at his slender limbs, crying for him to offer himself to their rolling depths.
She would stand, far too silent and reserved for a babe that held such curiosity, her maw zipped tight by her reluctance to show interest where it was not truly her business. However perhaps it was his careless ecstasy that lured her forwards, taking a daring step with a dainty paw towards the stony shells of his proximity, ?Hello.? For a word so vague, her gaze blossomed with youthful wonder, inspired by his unknowing charm and utterly captivated by his prosperous character; alas, she did not smile.
Waves pushed against the slender limbs that belonged to the playful young brute. Mind wandering prior to relaxing a fair amount in order to ponder the past this wolf has endured. Titanium optics relaxing, coming to more of a state of zen as the brute began to slowly stop his playful maritime outburst. Paws submerged still he slowly came down from his crow-hops and leaps back to a walk, all four feet crushing down between the smoothed rocks flickering beneath the waters surface like silk-covered coins in the treasure of a sunken ships trove. Nails scrape over their surfaces like the belly of another ship before submerging between them. Slowly he walked along the shore of the lake, still partly submerged.
His mind fell backwards into a hole of thoughts, stored memories that were re-emerging, within them was the image of a young pup, even more obsidian than this devil of a male looked right now. The pup was a simple pup, larger than it's siblings of a snowy white in color, each much smaller than the midnight colored pup they roused with, leaping about and seating at one another, snatching ears and tails with their small ivory's. The titanium optics of the pup stood out from the emerald and azul that graced the two others he played with. Echoing tiny growls filled the brutes mind as he day-dreamt. A sudden noise, like a gun-shot shook his cranium with a blast of reality, echoing within his skull and suddenly with a momentary shutter the brute looked out into a sudden burst of light, blinking away the memory of joyful pups at a waters edge and the echoing gunshot that rang in his ears for a moment, only to end in a smooth, relaxed voice.
Silver optics turned towards the sound that caused his sudden jump back into reality, standing still within the waters his dial turned to see the fae. Stricken from words for a moment the brute surveyed who they belonged to, gaze was still and empty, nearly clouded over in a sense of enveloped sadness, but it faded as the dove's angelic voice reached his relaxed auds. Good evening, miss." His own thunderous voice poured out slowly in a calm almost hypnotic volume. He watched her, she seemed similar to those she's seen before, unique and physically obscure in many ways, curious and beautiful in the eyes of a simple brute like himself. "Forgive me if i've disturbed your stroll... or anything else." He followed up.
