I will smother you just to feel your touch

Aureus felt himself starting to drift off. The warm breeze in his fur, the smell of the grass tinged with the slight burning smell of ash. An ambience of singing birds and buzzing insects would have lulled him to sleep if it hadn't been for a sound that was slightly off. That sounded like foot steps. His eyes cracked open and turned toward the source just as a powerful voice called out greetings. Huh? Friend? Aureus lifted his head, his expression leaping to surprise at the stunning stranger who was addressing him.

Oh, he knew of wolves with celestial patterns but he'd never seen anything quite like this man. His gorgeous pelt hugged his muscled frame in a way that made Aureus glad he was lying on his stomach. Aureus cleared his throat, trying to get ahold of himself. Shock melted into a coy smile as he stretched his front legs forward for a moment before curling them back under his chest. "That depends, friend. What is it you need?" His tail curled over his back, waving lazily as his head tilted slightly to the side.
