It's been a long time coming

The raid completed, wolves of both packs took the opportunity to relax around a large bonfire well into the night. Gradually, wolves meandered off to sleep and do other things. Nothing like a battle to stoke the fires of lust. In fact, Chimera was certain that he heard the moans of satisfied ladies off in the distance. Dirty dirty.

Chimera and Aliana lay beside one another on a nice, plush fur. Artorias and Briar lay nearby on another. The blue brute's words brought a chuckle from the dual-toned giant, lips splitting to flash rows of jagged, sharp teeth. "Strength and vigor, indeed. I'm not even back to a hundred percent just yet," he teased.

Artorias thanked Aliana for keeping him alive and Chimera nuzzled softly into the clouded woman's cheek. "I would have been dead if my wife hadn't been so stubborn. She refused to let me go." Chimera owed Aliana his life and he would spend the remainder of it making her happy.

The black and blue brute then apologized to his pretty, antlered wife and Chi chuckled again. "Perhaps she enjoyed it. I certainly did." It was no secret that he was a lover of both genders. He often mourned Erystotle, missing the beautiful, loving man. Chimera couldn't deny that Artorias was attractive, but it was more than that. They had a bond, a friendship, a brotherhood. This made the attraction much different than a passing fancy.
