Location: Order of the Wolf
The uncanny hybrid dangerously teetered on a small rock that could barely sustain his size, blissfully unaware that he was close to falling off. Tail was suspended around his voluminous body, nostrils pleasantly quivering as he inhaled the various flowery scents around him. Muscular shoulders were pressed forward, framing his face in a charming pose. The fur around his ears was made askew by a relentless winter wind, though it went unnoticed by the lounging warrior. Lackluster paws crisscrossed, outrageously yawning and slowly opening his eyes. Bone's hind limb lifted, idly raking it against his ear to quench an itch. The arcane heavenhound took a moment to observe his surroundings, though eyes were rather blurry from having just woken. "Mmm.." He groaned softly, feeling a bit groggy.
Zibah wandered aimlessly, maidenly shaped paws brushing softly against the landing. High-wires swiveled every now and then, at any sign of sonancy sensed by the godlike temptress. Voids of sea blue scanned the distance frantically as she shifted oh so gracefully, her banner cocked in dominant posture. Entering the obscurity of the already well-known tunnels, bitch's onyx nostrils flared at a intoxicating scent, kind of familiar to her. It was a teasing please. The heat period was messing with her hormones, and just the thought of a male being somewhere nearby sent a shiver down her spine. Allowing a sexy grin to spread across ebony dipped features, the alphess followed the aroma 'til it's owner, Boneskull. She just stood there staring unpolitely, not aware of how deep her own glare was at the moment.
Juxtapose ears quivered, sensing the sound of an approaching body. Inevitably, skull hoisted upward and mechanically swivelled toward the derivation, finding his nose engrossed in the sensual scent of womanhood. The oh-so infamous, and almost impish, "Mmm.." Came from his mouth once more, recognizing the approaching countess as his superior - - Zibah. Jousting nose into the air, the contemporary manifestation twisted fatty lips into a most desirable grin. However, he had not forgotten manners, so tail immediately descended in nauseating loyalty and respect. Disheveled body slipped from the rock, which groaned in protect against the ground. "Hello.". Voice was deeply welcoming, with just a hint of clandestine danger added to it. He noticed the chilling glare she was giving, causing his hellish side to stir. Heart flowered open as a surge of excitement dwindled through his body, finally seeing the Alpha on his own.
Zibah managed to give him a softer glance, submissive demeanor manifested by the present 'soldier'. Bitch allowed her weight to settle upon the jade grass heavily, sitting upon hindquarters as banner curled elegantly around pewter dipped forelimbs. Wings spread from between shoulderblades before enfolding her alluringly, leaving a couple of nigrescent plumes to fall and rest in some random corner of the tunnel. Politely, skull bowed in greeting, as she gave the newcomer the formal salutations. "Greetings.", matron said, voice acting as kind as possible. Fortunately she was in a good mood and could ignore the way he tensed at her piercing glare.
Bone allowed a slight smile to appear, satisfied with the direction of things. Divine simper crossed his elegant face, bulky body swaying gently in a nonchalant way. "What're you doing down here?" He questioned softly, his voice easily filling the underground esplande. Head turned slightly in a curious, boyish manner, the coy simper fading. Bone attempted to subdue the diabolic tendencies that occasionaly surfaced, deciding to act as much as a good boy as he could muster for the alpha. Bone could have asked her about her day, what she had done, and other bogus conversation starters, but that was incredibly boring. Boneskull's muscular shoulders flexed gently, moving him into a more comfortable position as eyes wandered over her magnificent wings.
Zibah grinned softly at his boyish gestures, but quickly managed to shrug it off, mentally slapping herself for letting her estrus affect her so much. 'Shit.', she muttered under her breath, hopefully not loud enough for him to understand. Sometimes it was just impossible to keep her thoughts to herself. Allowing her gaze to shift back to his virile figure, ears perked up, listening carefully to his questioning. What was she doing down there? Not even she knew the answer for that. It was pure curiosity to see how the forest she grew up in was looking like, after so many years. "Nothing really. Just wandering around, but I shall return to our packlands soon. How about you?"
Bone's keen ears did detect something that came from her mouth, but not enough to understand it. Churlish mastermind twisted his lips back into that oh-so wonderful smile, flicking his tail about in a content gesture. Her answer came, causing angular ears to perk forward and eyes to lighten with a certain incandescence. He hoisted his shoulders up in a blithe shrug, "Same, I guess." He murmured monotonously, smile fading slowly. "I was a bit bored... I'm glad I found some company." His smile seemed to return as quickly as it had vanished, making his face seem much more welcoming that his usual stoic expression. Slowly, body rose and moved forward in a careful way, extending nose to gently sniff at her chest in a ritualistic canine observation.
Skull tilted slightly to the adult bitch's right, sea blue pigmented voids watching him from the corner of her eyes attentively. It was not smart to let a stranger come this close, and she tensed at their proximity, breathing heavily. But once his snout brushed against her chest and sniffed her perfume, the alphess managed to cool down, tail wagging back and forth upon the ground. She wasn't dealing with a total stranger, anyway. It was a packmate. As soon as his face retreated, she'd do the same on him, taking in his aroma and scanning him with wide eyes.
The ceremony continued when Zibah returned the gesture, Boneskull patiently sitting and waiting for it to conclude. He noticed the momentary tension, hoping that he could receive her full trust sooner or later. His encounter with Seamrog and Idoltary had not been pleasant, causing Bone to have second thoughts about his recent allegiance to Aldora. However, the wise military hound decided against it. He would give it time. Softly, tongue reach forward to lightly run over her shoulder, recoiling his heavy head to watch her. "So what're your plans for tonight? Heading back to the pack lands anytime soon?" Bone remembered her mentioning that earlier and at the moment, he was clarifying it or perhaps seeing if her plans had changed. Friendly tail thwarted the ground, the dull sound exuding into the chilly night air.
Zibah shook her head once retreating, still undecided of her plans for that night. There was nothing in special to do in there, but she was also sure Aldora was merged into a disturbing peace, like always, so obviously there was not much to do there too. Sometimes she even wished something interesting or dangerous would happen. Anything. "No, I'll spend the night here, probably on Fenris' Ledge.", she replied, expecting he knew which ledge she was talking about. "I might leave tomorrow before dawn, there are new puppies to teach and they tend to wake up early."
Bone askew fur ruffled around his neck, giving him the appearance of a bushy mop. The constant wind wasn't aiding in his hair problem, either. However, a bad hair day could hardly ruin his buoyant mood. Bone nodded, knowing where she planned on sleeping but withholding a comment about it. Nonetheless, her next comment caused him to reply. "Puppies?" He questioned, having never been too terrific with training children. He was wonderful entertainment for them, but not the best teacher. Contumely humming to himself, eyes wandering back up to Zibah's face. "Doesn't Seamrog have puppies on the way?" He asked, his voice falling softly and holding a gentle twang of disgust. He looked over the alpha's body once more, wondering if they were to expect puppies from her anytime soon. Yes, Bone was well aware of her state.
Zibah quirked a brow at the way he glanced over her feminine silhouette, though silently knowing what he was thinking. Yes, it was true she wanted to give birth to a second and possibly last litter before passing the gates of heaven, but this goal could not be achieved until now. Which is pretty sad. But going back to his question concerning Seamrog's pregnancy, the female of seraphic features allowed her grin to spread even more across 'er ebony lips. "She gave birth today to four cute little brats.". Grin turned into a slight frown as she realised she had just said the word 'cute'. Ew. It was just not her.
Overbearing warrior snorted at her comment, laughing opening in a whole-hearted surge. "Cute, eh?" He questioned with another beat of smooth, charming laughter. "I can't wait to see them." Of course, it was a sarcastic remark, but he kept it light and jolly. He stepped back, surmounting the rocks behind him and looking at her with a grin. With light toes, his balanced on the top of the rock and walked along it as if it was a catwalk. What a show off. With a powerful bound, he lunged off of the rock to reach his destination - - the water. Dipping his head down to the water, he generously lapped at the surface until he was quenched. Head yanked back to her, "Idoltary was the father, hmm?" Bone was still trying to get everything straight in the pack.
Standing upon haunches, she approached silently, forelimbs pressing against the tallest black&blue stone as she "climbed" it, careful not to slip. It was rather cool and wet, the water drops kept falling upon it constantly after the impact caused by the waterfall. Once gaining balance, body language instantly changed to her usual dominant stance. Tail remained frozen by her side, as she watched him with a nonchalant look upon her face. "Yes, of course.", she said, aware that he probably didn't know all the news concerning the pack, so there was no hint of surprise in her voice.
Boneskull ended it there. He lost interest in Idolatary and Seamrog's affairs, flippantly twisting his nose upward in an indifferent gesture. He slowly moved toward the rocks, locomotion impressively lurid as he stalked closer to the Alpha. Bone was having trouble suppressing natural urges to be closer to her, knowing all too well that he couldn't be too bold with her. In a high-spirited romp he bounded on the rock next to her, feeling his front paws slip beneath him. Bone landed with his front limbs uncomfortably crushed beneath his chest and upper stomach: ass high in the air. A sheepish laughter expelled, looking at her with a comical smile. Rising, he shook himself off, grumbling in his head he tried keeping his cool. "So.." He mumbled. "What should we do." The first flicker of boredom coarse through his mind, despite his recent fall.
Zibah gave a playful and kind of suggestive smirk at his inquisition, voids glinting in malice. For the look she gave him, it was easy to tell what she really wanted, but obviously, being who she was, the maiden would just play innocent. "I don't know.", bitch muttered, winking. Her interest on him was apparent, but he was going to have to figure it out by himself. It was not like she had fallen in love with him, of course. Lovesicks are foolish and useless. She was just giving in to her heat impulses and being as teasing as expected. Hopefully he would not get her wrong. "What do you want to do?"
The astral juggernaut twisted his lips into a wiry smile, noticing her wink with a sultry, suggestive growl. He shook his body in a fluent motion, the lurid Warrior standing fully and facing her. Paw rose to prod at her right leg, "You're the alpha -- aren't you supposed to making all the orders?" Bone's own teasing side surfaced, allowing his tongue to fondle gently underneath her chin for a moment. Tail rose, curling around his hind limb as he slowly sat down, the war Jehovah cocking imperial head upward. Tongue ran over his lips in a, 'Mmm', gesture. Lackluster brown paw fell back to his side, a coy simper overcoming his face once more.
If it wasn't winter and the alphess wasn't on heat, she would have probably snapped at him for the teasing. No doubt he was insolent, but this time she would let it pass, and even play his little game. Even though teasing wasn't really her thing, she was the kind of plain female. "But there are no other packmates around, you see.", Zibah said, a shiver going down her spine as the water drops now fell on her coat instead of the stone. Damn weather. "Which orders would be there for me to give you?".
Combative angel twisted ears forward, listening to her words with the same alluring smile on his face. Tail cumbersomely wagged, though Bone was very careful when he moved, since he didn't want to take a fall as he had last time. He laughed cooly when her inquisitive words reached his keen ears, a shrug oscillating through his body. "Perhaps you can give me orders pertaining to more..." He hesitated, grimacing slightly also when he felt a spray of water. Face mutilated in disgust, thinking they should move whenever they were finished beating around the bush. ".. personal things." He managed to spit out before slipping off the rock and resting beside it -- using it as a barricade against the cold spray and gazing up at Zibah simultaneously.
As he shifted off the stone, she instantly stepped on in, equally careful not to slip. Invisible brows quirked at his suggestion, but then the smartass and sexy expression reappeared quickly upon seraphic female's visage. She really missed flirting, courting and stuff from her past, but now she was already getting sick of so much mystery. They both knew what was going to happen and fact, she was tired of waiting, her hormones boiling inside. For an elder femme, let's say Zibah was still quite active and not ready to give up on breeding before giving birth for a very last time. Instinctively and all of a sudden, her lips were on his ear, gnawing softly as she purred under her breath. But then she ceased, standing upon haunches and moving a few steps away from him. Skull tilted to the side as she gave him another suggestive glance, hoping he would follow. If he follows, she'd lead them to a den, and the rest, well, you know. If the answer was negative, whatever. She was used to sleeping alone.
Bone's incandescent eyes shut gently, hearing the purr with a pleasurable feeling in his gut. Tongue loped forward, curving gently around her front leg until she dismounted her throne and began to walk away. Her sheer suggestiveness caused his stomach to flip about, dastardly soldier swaggering behind her with a certain coolness to him. In a singularly affectionate gesture, tongue lapped her hind leg as he caught up, following her in silence. There seemed to be no reason for words anymore. In the distance, Bone caught the sounds of nightly birds, ricocheting off the underground walls. With a libidinous look, he continued following her with a heated soul.
