The branches whispered, rubbing against each other as he pushed through them. A single steel blue narrowed against the leaves that threatened to harm the only good eye he had left. The girl had slipped away again, and the next time he saw her he’d have her head for the games she insistent on playing. But more than that he wanted to play against her, wanted the next time she saw him to be a moment of realization… he would be thrall to no one, least of all her and as he took her eyes the last thing she would see would be the woman she could have been.

But that of course required a woman didn’t it? Procuring one was a challenge in itself… one he was determined to overcome!

 

Her travels so far had been filled with boredom, nothing but the wistling win filing her ears, stench of a new season arriving and sight of nothing but trees and open fields. Isis wanted something interesting to happen in her life, was sick of this bullshit that was going on to prevent it. So she would make a goal for herself, to try and meet people who catch her attention, whether it be physically or mentally. The people from her young days had been kind and caring towards each other, making her wonder where all the bad uys were that she heard stories of as a pup. Her first destination since making this goal, a patch of trees that looked like their branches were trying to touch the ground. Odd. She raised a brow as she approached the trees, head raised and tilted to the side as her blue eyes scanned the deformed branches. Did somebody do this to them or was it just the wind pushing them downward? speech Awesome table by Canttina <3

A scent brushed against his nose and Novocaine stopped suddenly, thinking for a moment before a disconcerting smile pulled his lips back. He adjusted his course, his good eye scanning for the owner of that particular scent. Branches obscured most of her from his view, and he stopped, unsure how to proceed. He didn’t think she had seen him yet and he wasn’t quite sure how to grab her attention. He wasn’t much for greetings and he was certain his usual approach wasn’t gonna be very effective.

Instead he settled on a middle ground, clearing his throat to draw her attention… if he didn’t already have it anyways. After a moment’s thought he tipped his head down, angling his missing eye away from her… it might not do to scare her away… not right away anyways.
