"My heart feels on fire"
The Golden King found himself rather lost in the haze of memories that threatened to consume him. The memories...endlessly spinning in the back of his mind. It seemed they had no true intention of forgiving him. And as those bright bi colored eyes flicked and wandered upon the snowy floor. And it seemed he had company...a presence making its way towards the golden marked canine. His vibrant gave lifted and landed upon her from a curved glance long before she spotted him...The Golden King was alerted when the crunch of snow was smashed under her paws.
She was...in his opinion. Brilliant...as much a representation of fire as he was of the sun...
She smoldered like tired embers lazily falling from a fire, born from darkness and eventually to die in darkness, but not before the consumption of all before her. Dull and dirty but still burning and if you touched, you'd get hurt. But Osiris knew hurt and embraced it and he wouldn't care if the whole damn forest burned, he'd stay here grinning because he was not afraid and it was not his time to die. And if by the off chance it was...well, he'd meet his reaper with a smile.
Observing the striped mass, pounding this way, freight train of toothed mass, Osiris remained motionless and smiling. He gazed at her, lacking the reverence he may or may not of had considering she was a stranger and he was new to these lands...fresh blood to the cauldron, but maintaining the respect given towards any dangerous weapon: handle with care. Wielders get hurt too, but only if they make a mistake.
Osiris did not make mistakes.
Here was a great contrast: the huge and bulking, uncontrolled and messy, everything a blur of uncontained and raw strength. She was a dull mass, ready to engulf like a great burning flame feeding on not the blood but the joy of releasing the blood. And she stood before The Golden King, who's every piece was sharp and edged and clean, every motion controlled and every fur sleek. He was every inch springy and cutting and small and thin, razor wire.
She moved close and let her position be known. She tried to claim him.
NO.
Not tensed, but neither relaxed, the male on legs ready to dart like pistons at a moment's falling. Hmmm, evening luv. he said charmingly. Small bow. Smile didn't fade. Standing several feet away, as she had drawn back. He'd found himself here, he'd made himself better, and while he would have cowered at her approach all those years ago, now he merely stood. Osiris knew he could be matched, but he wasn't about to be dominated. While he had never been prideful, it was obvious that he had found his confidence, that he knew what he could do. He knew what he could not do...and at the moment he would observe what this...stranger could do. From her size alone he knew that she was capable of causing him great harm. But he had no fear. This was not a challenge to her. And hopefully she had no intention of doing the same.
He did not attempt to dominate her in return. There was no need, no point. She was no keen sword, no, this was a landmine, indiscriminate, equally prepared to destroy her creator as her most hated enemy. While Osiris loved to collect, to hoard, the others, his soldiers, his spies, all the rest, he knew grasping at a time bomb was not wise when you can't see the clock. So he remained, prepared for whatever would unravel from the chaotic coils of the universe's dark maw, whatever was to be released into the system. Osiris approached chaos with lips tilted and words and movements liquid.
Is there...anything i can help you with? He asked softly, pearly whites gleaming and glittering as he cracked a toothy grin.
Oh how fun.
