Rain, Rain, Go Away

"Oh no, by all means, make yourself at home." The tone that painted the lyrics that spilled from his jaws made her smile. The petite woman tilted her head as she looked up at the great brute. "You could really hurt someone's feelings with that tone," she quipped, blinking her glimmering silver eyes. Her smile grew incrementally when she saw him lift a foreleg to wipe the side of his face where water from her drenched coat had reached him. "Oh! I'm sorry, did I get you wet?" she asked with feigned concern etching her vocals. As her eyes wandered over his dark, handsome mask, watching for his expression so that her smile might grow a little more, she suddenly remembered the prey she'd left in the rain. She turned without a word and dashed back out into the hazy rainfall, grabbing the beaver's heavy, soaked carcass and dragging it under cover.
She settled herself on the ground, then, while Vyper slithered over to her, crawling over her body and twining his long body with her fur. It was wet, but her body heat radiated outward and it was enough to keep him cozy. Saffron bit several chunks from the beaver and laid it aside for Vyper as she normally did. The snake found the meat with little difficulty and began to devour it, slowly eating it whole as snakes would do. He preferred to eat small animals whole, but he wasn't going to refuse the easy meals that Saffron offered him. The she-wolf looked up at the massive male again. She wondered how long he'd tolerate her nonsense; she supposed she shouldn't push his buttons too much. After all, not everyone had endless amounts of patience, and it would only take for him to grab her by the scruff and give her a firm shake to put an end to her banter.
"So, you belong to a pack nearby?" she asked, having noticed some detail about his scent now that she'd been her a few moments, "What brought you out here?" She hadn't ventured too far into Auster, but she had of course come across some pack scents. They were hard to miss, bordering the edge of the continent. Her questions to him were merely of curiosity, something to fill the silence until the rain died down. Currently, it didn't look like that was going to happen any time soon. Much as she enjoyed her time spent alone with Vyper, she didn't want to sit here in silence and try to pretend like there wasn't anyone else present. She figured she might as well try to figure out if there was anything interesting about the male, besides how interesting he was to look at.
