Chasing the sun

She could sense the frustration wavering in his aura. The frustration of not knowing her mood, perhaps? To her surprise, she was getting better at this emotion-reading business. Learnt from the best, she thought smugly to herself. The thought was almost enough to ruin her straight face, but not quite. The only sign she emitted that indicated a change in her mood was the short flick of her ears at his reply. What did he mean? Had these past couple weeks been a challenge for the male, though not entirely a 'bad' experience? She was curious, though before she could question further, he continued to speak about his alpha plans. He had been busy travelling far and wide amassing his followers, certainly taking it all seriously, and she held no doubt his pack would grow to be formidable. Almost enough to change her mind...

The grey male momentarily turned the spotlight back on her. And Riv. She could expect that, of course. She was practically drenched in the Adravendi's scent, not that it was anything to be ashamed of. Priorities had changed since Myriad's fall. Xephyris wanted to build a pack and she just desired the company of her lover. They wanted different things out of life now. "Funny you should say that," she remarked, a twinkle in her crimson gaze. "Riv and I are planning to move to the north for the time being. I'm not sure for how long." She flashed him a toothy grin. "Until we get bored, I suppose." At least until the end of autumn, she hoped. The north was cold no matter the season, though this time of year made the snow and temperatures a bit milder, more bearable for wolves like her raised in the warmer climate of the south.
