furious hearts

Chaos was happy to be home, that was for sure. Happier yet to be home without the stress of the responsibilities he'd gladly handed over to his younger brother and knowing that he didn't have to be the one to step up all the time to take care of their family. His stints as alpha had changed him indelibly, he knew, and it was only a matter of time before his vacation was over and he stepped up to take a high rank and help out Tyrian. But for now, for this little bit, he wanted to just relax for a while and not be in charge of a damn thing except himself and a brief carefree lifestyle.

He'd gone wandering through to the mist-shrouded forest that had been so fascinating to him as a child. Age and familiarity had dimmed the fascination it held for him, but it wasn't a bad place for a little adventure, if you were ok with fog and muck and spiderwebs, which he didn't mind. He especially didn't mind when he spotted the feminine form some time into his jaunt, cautiously lapping at a little bit of a stream. She must have felt him looking at her from the misty undergrowth, because he saw her raise her head and bristle with nerves. Well, far be it from him to be so ungentlemanly as to keep her worrying about monsters!

Stepping from the fog, he gave her a cheery, long-fanged grin. "Well well, I wasn't expecting to meet up with another intrepid explorer today, let alone one so," he sketched a dramatic little bow to her, "One so beautiful as you are." As always, his banter was playful to the point of silliness, that crooked smile making it difficult to tell if he was flirting or teasing.
