I'm jealous, I'm overzealous

Atreyu rising had not escaped the notice of her dark knight. He had more than been awake already. He had already sought out some of her siblings and spoken with Alaric. He felt things went well. He had foreseen things going worse but he didn't mind the more pleasant route things seemed to be taking.

He moved silently through the undergrowth and moved to follow her like a shadow. The light of the morning had already started warming the land and Azriel disliked the heat but he wouldn't complain. The scent that lingered as well was nose wrinkling. He'd smelled whore houses that smelled better than this. His tail lashed at the thought, it had been a long time since he had been intimate with another, how would Atreyu take that knowledge? His paws thudded lightly and a dry dust came up with each step.

He wasn't hiding himself, there was no point. But he did sit down in the shade of a tree on the edge of the shrine's clearing. His eyes stayed on Atreyu's form as she stretched and prayed. He wouldn't interrupt but he would watch. Routines were important to learn for each other. Perhaps this morning he would see if she wanted to go for a hunt or swim together. He was thinking hard about what to do when a shape caught his eye slinking towards Atreyu. He was up faster than one would think. He darted past Atreyu as the cat lunged for her, colliding with the black cat mid air and taking its element of surprise. A loud snarl ripped from it as he also let out a deep guttural growl. Claws gripped into his chest and his fangs sank into its leg. Its canines aimed to sink into his neck but he inwardly grinned seeing this, his quills were standing at full attention in the moment.
