The sweet scents grew heavy, settling the old male into an easy trance. He relaxed near a warm apple tree, seeming to taste the ripe juices in the air. There was a bit of old fruit on the grass near his paw, and he leaned forward slowly to prod at it with his nose. He fastened his teeth lightly into the fruit, avoiding the browning spots as the bittersweet taste spread across his tongue. As he pulled away from the small treat, he felt a smile on his lips.

Then something interrupted his daze. More accurately, someone interrupted it. He felt a pair of feet stumble into his hip as another wolf walked by. It was a slightly battered female with an earthy pelt and a familiar scent. She muttered an apology as she backed away, tucking her head down and away as if she were hiding something. Yes, this was definitely a female Hyperion had met before. The pretty woman from Glaciem - her name was Narsha. He could never have forgotten. After all, he had reacted so strangely then, unable to speak for once in his life. But now the blanketing aroma of rotting fruit seemed to intoxicate him, and words came pretty easily.

"Don't apologize, miss, please." Even as he blinked and struggled to return to reality, the male managed to bow deeply to the younger woman. She looked as strangely captivating today as she had the first time they'd met, only this time there was something else about her that distracted him. That dreaded, inviting scent, all too familiar. His aged body had learned to fight it by now, though. This was only a product of his years and of his gentlemanly nature. So, luckily, it was the smell of Narsha's heat that snapped him out of his trance.

His dark feet shuffled away a bit, giving the girl her space. "If my memory serves, we have met before. You are Miss Narsha?" He gave a small, gentle smile to the female, keeping his golden gaze on her politely. What had brought her here, alone, when she was in heat? Did she wish to be protected in any way?

Walk.
"Talk."Think.
