Fading Colors... (Arctic Only)

[Arctic Fang]

Arctic laughed but still his eyes held a dreamy sort of haze to them. What was happening to him? He never felt this way around a female before. Ever! He laughed though because she did still not want to accept his generous offering. She still insisted on sharing it with him. He thought this to be something that he would cherish about her but at some point he would have to draw the line. For now though he would appease her giving nature and share with her but not before answering her questions. ”I have no family, well not brothers or sisters. My mother is still alive, though I haven’t seen her for a while. Her name is Noonday Miracle. As far as my father goes… I haven’t ever met him. I was pup-napped. Basically my whimsical days were stolen from me. I didn’t have the luxury of being a pup like others have. I guess that’s why I love pups so much.” He didn’t want to think about his past so much as he now longed to think about the present and his future. With each moment spent with Alei he could see that his days ahead left something for him to desire.

Tersely he cleared his throat, putting a smile upon his face so that she would not get sad for his lost pup-hood. Arc then leaned forward and shared the morsel in which she held so delicately between her front teeth. Her lips were soft and feeling this Arc was even more delicate so as not to nip her. Delicately he bit his part of the meat off and then chewed thoughtfully, never taking his eyes off of hers. Immediately though he leaned down and pushed the rest toward her. ”Now the rest is yours. I insist. You need your strength. This is your first order from your Alpha.” This could not be said without a larger smile and a blush to his cheeks.

Before she could decline further, the meat with the most vitamins, he ripped into another part of the deer. He wished to eagerly pursue a conversation with this female, and so he did. ”My mother was head guardian of a place called Crystal Water Creek. Prophecy was handed down from generation to generation telling of a male that would become head guardian after her. He bore the mark of a snowflake on his body. This mark was what caused his life to be a living hell.” Arctic was speaking from experience. It was he who the prophecy spoke about but he just didn’t come right out and say it. Noticeably Arc wore the mark upon his right shoulder.

There was much more then met the eye with Arctic Fang. Who ever decided to be associated with him would likely be in a smaller amount of danger, smaller because he was now enthroned as head guardian. Many had tried to keep him from gaining that position but now that he owns it those that wished him dead backed off a bit since he’s watched more closely. Arc assumed that the female would ask more questions. She seemed smart enough.

Sadness filled her eyes, if only for a moment, turning them a soft, powder blue, when she had heard his heartbreaking answer. Though, the food was still in her mouth, so she couldn't answer him right away, yet she knew what to say. So, instead to waited and listened to the rest of his story. Interrupting was a bad habit of hers, he was lucky this meat was in her jaws, so she would keep them closed. She instantly fell in love with the concern and love he had for pups. He'd make a wonderful father someday, she knew it. Still, she felt sympathy for his missing childhood. Covering his own sadness with a smile, she could sense Arctic hadn't wanted to start of an upsetting subject. So, she figured she'd keep the conversation optimistic as well. She hadn't wanted to bring sadness upon him, causing him to bring up and remember sad memories. She knew what that was like.

She felt the flutter return in her belly as he leaned forward to accept his share, their lips barely touching as he parted his muzzle, wrapping it around the meat, teeth sinking in. She caught his gaze again, as she softened her grip on the morsel, then he backed away. She was about to speak once her mouth was empty, but he beat her to it. Laughing slightly at his next words she nodded. "Yes, sir." Her voice was playful, eyes shooting him a michevious glance, before she bent down to quickly take another bite. The pause afterwards was short, for he had begun speaking again, so she took her time chewing the meat.

She listened intently, this caught her interest. Of course, she had never heard of this place he spoke of. They came from two completely different places, almost different worlds it seemed. The canyons were nothing like the place she found herself at now, and they didn't sound like the Crystal Water Creek that he spoke of. When he mentioned the mark of the snowflake, her thoughts seemed to come to a stop, her eyes drifting to the snow-flake marking on his shoulder that she had noticed earlier. She hadn't realized, until now, just how much power this male wolf had. Not, just being alpha male of a new pack, but he was also head gaurdian, part of a prophecy. This, surprisingly, did not bother her. It only made him seem more intriguing to her.

Before she forgot, she wanted to mention something about his pup-hood. "We've got to show you the joys of being a pup." She grinned, knowing how much she had loved it. Having no worries, living carefree, thinking of everything as a game. She wanted to experience that with him, more than anything at the moment. But for now, she would finish the meal he had so greatfully served her, and learn a bit more about his past. Taking another bite, and finishing it quickly, she asked, "So, why'd you leave?" Curiosity loomed in her now lavender eyes, as she waited for his answer, taking more hasty bites. Her energy was rising, and she couldn't wait to run. She always ran after a nap. Anticipation slowly crept over her, like an itch that needed to be scratched. She was very impatient, but everything would come in time. Besides, she was very much enjoying being here with Arctic.

[Arctic Fang]

Arctic chuckled deeply when she mockingly said ’Yes Sir.’ He thought it to be funny. She had a sense of humor. He liked that as well about her. So far there was nothing that he didn’t like about her, including that mischievous grin that she flashed around so prominently, which made him chuckle even more.

Whether she realized it or not… today she has given him the greatest gift of all, the gift of light heartedness. The cares of his life melted away, much like his heart did when she looked at him with her set of mysteriously attractive orbs. He just wanted to kiss her over and over again but for now such an action, he felt, wasn’t appropriate. Arc was a gentle-beast, proper… old fashion.

Amidst his revealing things to her and her to him he noted that her eyes did indeed drift to the mark, the very tattoo that seemed burnt into his fur, even though it held a luster that was attractive in color. In truth it should be a mark that he proudly wore, and it was, now, but it wasn’t always like that. When he was growing up he was forced to hide it.

But now she knew and he was happy about that….

The fact that she didn’t say anything about it showed Arctic that she wouldn’t be the type to gloat if she had a high position in the pack. This was good. Alei was also humble. Thus far she was everything good. She seemed like she couldn’t hurt a fly. Arc began to wonder if she had anything mean or bad in her. Such thoughts caused him to want to get to know her even more.

Arc laughed gleefully when she mentioned that she wanted to show him how to be a pup. ”Oh really? Well I’d love for ‘you’ to show me.” His emphasis was on the word ‘you’. He wondered if she’d notice. Arc found that there was nothing that he wished to hide from her now. His heart began to open. His life was like an open book to her. He wanted her to know everything and he wanted to know everything about her.

”Why did I leave?” He licked his lips clean of his meal, he was finished, and he had his fill. ”I didn’t want to leave. Crystal Water Creek was a beautiful place, of what I can remember of it. As I said… I was pup-napped. Apparently someone caught wind of my prophetic position and decided that they wanted the throne.” Arc leaned toward the deer but before clamping his powerful jaws down onto it he looked up at her and smiled. ”Wanna see where we sleep? Then I’ll show you the land.” He waited for her response as he grabbed the deer, ready to drag it back to their shelter.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


Oh, his laugh was so amazing. She found herself swooning over it, over him. A larger grin consumed her face again, as she laughed with him. Taking a few more bites, she finished up what he had given her. This filled her up, but not too much. She'd still be able to run. Her paws itched to glide across the land, her muscles no longer ached. Energy surged through her body. She waited for his next words, catching her breath from the laughter, and licking the remaining blood from her jaws.

She definitely heard the emphasis of the 'you', and she grinned. "Oh, yes..." She answered, "And I would love to show you." Listening even more intently, she found out why he was taken away from the land. It was a horrible thing for someone to do, but Alei was greedily happy that he had been taken, for she may have not had the chance to meet him if he hadn't. The he asked if she wanted to see the rest of the land and the pack's camp. Getting to her paws immediately, she nodded enthusiastically.

She watched his powerful jaws clamp onto the doe, fangs not ceasing to pierce through the flesh for a better hold. Something about it, his power, his strength, the danger of those sharp fangs, and muscular jaws, made her heart beat even faster. It made her want to know him more, for she knew now there was nothing much they could do after just knowing each other for a few hours. That would be a bit awkward. But something jolted through her, something that made her wish she had known him longer, something that made her feel almost as if she did.

[Arctic Fang]

Arctic wanted to be strong, he wanted her to think that he was the bravest and most wonderful male wolf that she ever laid her eyes upon. Proudly he held his head up high, holding the deer up as high as he could without falling on his face. Still though Arctic was an impressive specimen, the top ranking of his kind, not only in looks but in personality as well and he was willing to prove that to her even if he had to look silly to do it.

As they came upon the falls the male dropped the doe from his iron-grip jaws, being sure to not let the doe's head clunk to the ground. Arctic showed as much respect to the fallen doe as he could, understanding the ultimate sacrifice that she had made in order to feed them.

Arc then spoke to the female that stood beside him. "The cave is just behind that waterfall. It's well hidden from any predators and we are very safe there. I thought that it would be the perfect place to sleep." As soon as the Alpha was done speaking he again picked up their meal and headed for the cave.

As they entered Alei could see that it was a rather comfortable looking dwelling. There were many places that was lined with soft looking moss to sleep on. There was a pantry section that was designated just for their food. There were hanging vines nicely decorating their home. Simply put it was very homey and really didn't seem like a cold, damp cave at all. Arc even had a place all picked out for himself, a lofty place where he could watch over his flock as they slept. It was a large area, comfortable for him to stretch out in.

Indeed he was proud of his new home and hoped that the female would be as well. He stood there tall, chest jaunting out and looking rather kingly as he waited for her to look around. Arc felt as though he were brining a female home for the first time and he awaited for her approval or disapproval. It was sort of exhilarating. "Well... What do you think Alie? Is it to your liking?" He smiled ever so gently at her, his eyes greedily wanted her blessing.

Arctic strode up next to her and then whispered before she had a chance to say anything. "Tell me that you like it. Tell me that you like your new home and you'll make me a happy wolf." His voice was but a whisper. His face was so very near to hers, near enough to stretch out his tongue to lick but he didn't, he remained in the state of wanting to give her everything that her heart desired.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


Alei padded alongside him, just a bit farther behind so that he was in the lead. She noticed his muscles ripple as he lifted the doe high above the ground, so that just its hooves drug a bit, creating little trails in the soft grass. Still, she hadn't gotten over his enormous size. She felt so petite walking next to him. More than normal. It wasn't a bad feeling though. It only added to his unbelievably wonderful looks. She knew, with a great leader like him, he could protect more than one pack. Turning away from him, she focused on the trail, she'd have to remember how to get back to the den, for it would soon be her home. She wanted to memorize each tree, each stone, each individual blade of grass. But that would take time. Time that she could hardly wait for. Her paws still itched to run, but she kept her pace somewhat slower than his. She could wait.

Then, there it was. An enormous waterfall, roared down the rocky slope in front of her, the sheet of water slicing through the surface of a lake beneath it, mist clouding around the wound. The waterfall its self was enough to impress Alei. Her eyes widened as she studied its beauty. Turning back to Arctic, she noticed the care he put into setting the doe down. Everything he had done was so gentle. She smiled. Then he spoke again. His voice hit the air, and she felt herself swooning over that lovely sound... He had been right, it was the perfect place to sleep. She'd never seen such a well-hidden cave. Actually, she still hadn't actually seen the cave. The waterfall cascaded over the rocks, completely hiding the entrance from her, and other, more unwanted eyes.

He began moving again, leading her through the entrance. Once inside, Alei took in the new surroundings, observing each and every detail the eye could see. Caverns carved into the thick, gray stone, soft forest green moss lining the floors in patches here and there. Vines strung over the walls and ceilings, acting as curtains for some of the 'rooms'. It was warm and inviting, comfortable. She sat down, and turned to him as he asked her what she thought of the home. As she gathered the words in her mind, forming them into a sentence that she would decide to answer with, she watched him turn and smile at her. A smile so brilliant, she lost the words...

Luckily, he had walked toward her, before she had the chance to reply and whispered into her ear. "Tell me that you like it. Tell me that you like your new home and you will make me a happy wolf." His words echoed in her mind, and she could feel her knees weaken at the 'comand'. Now she would answer. "Oh, but Arctic..."" She whispered back, just as softly, pressing her face even closer to his, her breath against his ear fur. "It's far better than that..." She let her words trail off, as his scent enticed her even more now, than it had before.

[Arctic Fang]

Arctic literally wallowed in her scent. Her aroma, her aura caused him to feel dizzy in his head until he felt like he was merely dreaming. When he thought that she wasn’t looking his eyes closed and his nose would capture her scent within its nostrils and they would flare until it filled his lungs. At some point he wondered if she knew what she was doing. Was she cunningly trying to entice him so? Well it was working. Every inch of his mind, body and soul wanted her.

Her voice was like silk. To Arctic it sounded like the morning song birds that sang their happy tune just outside the cave in a nearby tree. Even to this her tones could not be compared. Arc would rather listen to her talk all day then to be awakened by songbirds. Just her presence made his heart sink into his stomach. Indeed he began to thirst for her, desire her like no other, long for her until his bones ached and his knees quaked. Oh if she only knew…

He could feel her warm breath travel into his conical ear. It sent waves upon waves of shivers down his spine until he could stand it no longer; teasingly he cuddled his cheek into her muzzle until his throat allowed a groan to escape. She’s so beautiful and smelled so wonderful. At this moment a desire settled into his heart. He wanted her more than anything but the words of such desired expressions never left his lips. Now was not the time. It was much too soon. ’Be sure of what your heart wants Arctic,’ the male inwardly repeated to himself. There was a fight within between his heart and the logical part of his brain.

Before his slightly agape muzzle left her he too whispered into her ear. ”I’m glad that you approve. You don’t know how happy that makes me. Now…. Shall we take a walk?” Oh how he wanted to lick her cheek, to feel her fur beneath his pink tongue, to taste the sweetness of her lips but he refrained. Arctic wanted her longing to become fertile as well. When their determination to have one another peaked then they would both know. For now their flirting and culminating teasing would fill them until they would burst with desire for one another. Arc had to be sure that this was right. If it wasn’t then it would just fade and then they’d end up being just friends.

Arc grinned smartly, knowing full well what he was doing and then he turned to leave. His muscles rippled like waves across his body but still he was slender and a rather enticing male. He turned and glanced back at her, awarding her with a rather flirtatious gaze that danced about in his golden orbs. His eyes too looked her up and down and he didn’t hide this fact. It was his first real indication of what he wanted, displayed to her so that she knew for a certainty what he was after.

The male Alpha then exited the cave, letting her stand there for a moment so that she could roll around in her mind what just happened between them. Still though the male chose to not come right out and say which direction he wanted their relationship to go. They had just met but it was as though he’s known her his entire life. Destiny… that’s what it was but still he had to be sure. Only time would tell if his heart was true to him.

Once outside he sat and waited for her, to see her emerge from ‘his’ cave would be a very exciting thing for the male. For the first time ever he had a rather gorgeous female in his home and it was more then just exhilarating to Arctic. It meant that he was a male, a mature male and perhaps soon he’d have a mate and a family of his very own to nurture, protect and love. Indeed he was coming into his own; he has developed into an adult. Such was felt in the pit of his loins but especially in his heart when he looked at Alei.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


Alei parted her muzzle, a quiet breath escaping into a soft, barely audible moan as his own breath blew into her ear... Then he spoke. She smiled, lingering in the moment, not backing away just yet. She'd wait for him. When he did back away, she watched him leave; his large paws thudding gently against the cold stone floor, muscles rippling with each step. Before he passed through the entrance of the cave, he glanced at her with a flirtatious gaze dancing in his beautiful eyes. Something else was there, but she couldn't be completely sure of what is was...

She sat in the cave, gazing at the entrance where the male had just disappeared. She wanted to leap into the air and dash after him... She felt the warmth of his body so close to her slowly fade, and she wanted it back. Already, she missed him being there beside her. Her heart raced, as she blinked and glanced around the cave once more, before stepping to her feet. A smile spread across her face. Everything was so lovely, and now all she wanted to do was run alongside her new friend.

Padding nonchalantly across the stone floor, just as Arctic had, she made her way out of the dim lit cave, and into the bright, warm sunlight once more. She found herself gaze through the sheet of silvery blue water as it cascaded down in a thick curtain in front of her. Blinking, she turned her gaze back to Arctic, eyes blazing with playful challenge, turning a deep blood red. "Race you!" She narrowed her eyes, daring him to try and beat her. Lowering her head to the ground, she tensed her muscles, and took off in the opposite direction in which they had come. Running aimlessly, she waited for him to take chase, feeling the cold wind whip at her face.

[Arctic Fang]

Oh yeah... He was sure that he had gotten to her. It took her a little bit to finally emerge from the cave. Inwardly the male was proud of himself. He was actually able to capture the attention of a real lady and his skills at doing so would only improve with time. What he really wanted was to keep testing them on 'her', the she-wolf that came into his life so suddenly and was able to dive straight into his heart. Her face echoed through his mind, her voice through his ears. He just couldn't stop thinking of her.

There departure was short lived. There she was, looking as radiant as ever and holding a child-like glint in her eyes. At first Arc didn't know what she was going to do but soon she took off running but not before shouting out a challenge toward him. Of course the competitive side of him wanted to race her and beat her but the newer side of him, the side that seemed to be falling for Alei, wanted to just run and play with her, to tease and to flirt with her.

His muscles merely tensed as he took off after her, nipping her playfully in the back leg as he chased after her and laughed so loud that the entire kingdom might be able to hear him, but he didn't care. This female took his breath away. She was like a free spirit that was blowing in the wind, a fragrant flower that eventually waved beneath your nose until you were hypnotized, paralyzed by its aroma.

He wanted more and more of her....

Once he nipped her leg he ran passed her so that she'd have to chase him but he was quick enough to dart forward and make a U turn, heading straight back to her. He stopped short of running into her and he made as though he was going to pounce on her but instead he pounced from side to side, giggling like a pup. ”Want to see the lake? We could take a dip if you want. It’s almost as beautiful as you!” He couldn’t believe that he just said what he did… but he did… and there it was… out in the open.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


The wind continued to lap at her fur. The itch in her paws was no longer there, with each long stride, her muscles stretched releasing a wonderful feeling through her body. Still, pictures of him ran circles in her mind. His scent still lingered in her nostrils, sickly sweet, tempting and masculine. She couldn't help but wonder how this had all happened so fast, but she didn't want to question it. Live life as it comes, whatever happens, happens. Be spontaneous. That's what she lived by. Her claws gripped the ground softly, this was no where near as fast as she could run, but she wanted to give him a chance to catch up. She wanted to see him again...

Alei was so enveloped in the joy of the run, that she hadn't heard him approach her from behind. In fact she didn't know he was there, until his teeth nipped gently at her hind leg. She let out a little high-pitched shreak, and watched as he easily ran ahead of her. His next move was unexpected, as he turned and came running straight toward her. Laughing, she watched him hop back in forth a few feet ahead. Hearing his words, a bright smile crossed her maw. "He thinks I'm beautiful..." The words took her by surprise, she never looked at herself that way. Then she remembered what he had asked before he had given her the compliment. She loved to swim.

Instead of stopping, she sped up, and leapt into the air, forepaws outstretched far in front of her. They locked onto Arctic's chest, and sent the two barraling toward the ground. Her head lay against his chest, between his two front legs, when they came to a stop. Lifting her head to face him, she laughed, regaining her footing, paws on the ground, one on either side of his head. "Take me there?" She smiled, their noses just inches apart...

[Arctic Fang]

Beauties in the eyes of the beholder but Arctic knew a beautiful femme when he saw one. Alei not only had the looks but she possessed the charm as well, she was able to lasso his heart and all the more so when she ended up on top of him. Now his heart was beating as fast as a jack rabbits as Arc looked up at her, their faces soooo dangerously close that he was tempted almost beyond what he could take. What he longed to do was kiss her, that face was so sweet and that voice so sultry.

Arc laughed and then nodded. His body remained stark still as he looked up at her as his face became the epitome of serious. "You know that you 'are' beautiful... very beautiful. You know that right? Any male would be proud to have you as their mate. Is that what you want one day Alei... to be someone's mate? Or do you already have someone?" He failed to mention why he was asking, the more personal reason would be because 'he' was interested in her for himself. If he knew that she was free then he'd feel better about pursuing her the way that he really wants to.

He ignored her request on purpose, the request to take her to the lake. Before he went any farther with her he just had to know if he could put his heart into his attempt to win her over. Softly he ran his paw over her cheek as he gazed into her eyes. She couldn't get out of answering this, not even if she got off of him because he'd simply press the issue until she told him what he longed to know.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


Her smile faded to be replaced with a look of surprise, as she heard his next words. It appeared again in an instant, brighter than the one before, as he ran his paw down her face. The touch was so soft, so gentle. She leaned her head into his paw, closing her eyes. Ignoring his first question, she decided to answer his last. "No. I don't have anyone." Her voice was soft, eyes still closed, the smile fading again. The closest she ever felt toward someone in her past had been Keenon, though she rarely thought of him in that way. He was more of a fatherly figure to her, he basically raised her and took care of her. She knew that didn't count. Though it did force back sad memories upon her. Pushing them away, she spoke again. "But... That is what I want. I want to have that more than anything. To love someone, and know that they love me." Smiling again, she opened her eyes, and found herself gazing into those lovely golden orbs once more.

She noticed that he hadn't answered her question. Taking this as a no, she guessed they weren't going to the lake anytime soon. That was the last thing to care about at a moment like this. She didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay here; laying against him, feeling his warmth surround her, his scent entice her even further, while gazing into his eyes, their faces agonizingly close... But she didn't know how long this would last. They couldn't stay here forever. Sunshine trickled down upon the two wolves, ray by ray as a cloud slowly made it's way across the sky. It was getting later, sun set would be here before they knew it.

[Arctic Fang]

Arctic felt a washing of relief, to know that she had no one to call her own. Now he could move onward. This was good news! A smile radiated from his face like beams of light, sending their blessings upon her. He watched her as she seemed to enjoy his touch. Arc wore a gentle smile. He was enjoying giving her his touch as much as she seemed to like it.

Before her eyes could open he whispered to her softly, if only loud enough for himself to hear. "Good then I shall enjoy winning your heart for my very own." Once she opened her eyes she smiled at her, unsure if she had heard him or not now that there came to be a light breeze blowing through the area.

Now that their attention was upon each other exclusively he popped to attention and grinned even wider. "Are you ready to go for a swim? The moon might be full tonight and so we could enjoy bathing in the moonlight. Perhaps you'll even join me for a howl at the moon afterward." To a wolf that was the frosting on the cake, to be able to howl at a full moon was very intoxicating and thrilling.

His paw continued to stroke her cheek gently, their faces still very close, so close that Arc could resist no longer. Gently he wiped his tongue over her muzzle, starting at her nose and working its way to the corner of her mouth. Oh how sweet she tasted. She's everything that he's ever wanted in a female.

[iivie]

A l e i ; ;


A soft breeze ruffled through her fur, bringing with it a cool and refreshing wave of air, just as the heat of the sun beat down onto her back. She sighed at the soothing feelings of both the sun and the wind. Warm, then cold, the two mixing together beautifully, dancing through her pelt, her skin tingling with delight. Continuing to gaze into his golden eyes, she listened everso closely as he began speaking again. A moonlit swim did sound very nice. Especially with a wonderful male, such as himself to accompany her. Alei also loved to sing as well, her lovely howl, calling lyrics into the dark, night sky. She couldn't wait to hear Arctic's howl. She was sure it would be like no other.

Just as she loved the sun and the light and warmth is brought, she also loved the moon. It was beautiful... She could imagine its pale rays dappling through the leaves, causing the surface of the lake to reflect on their pelts, silver lines dancing through their fur. Her eyes closed again, as she invisioned it... A smile spread across her maw, and she almost forgot to answer him back. Still, she felt his paw stroking her cheek, and before she reopened her eyes, she could feel his tongue slid across her lips again. Parting her jaws, she let her own tongue venture across his muzzle, her eyes still remaining closed. He tasted just as, if not more, amazing than he smelled. Their tongues touched so gently, she couldn't be sure they actually touched.

At this moment, a million thoughts ran through her mind. So many things had happened today, so many things were happened at this very moment, and so many more things were to come in the future. Was this really all happening so fast? A wave of feelings overwhelmed her once more at all these new thoughts. Most the feelings were good, happy, excited, curious. There were others thought. She pushed them away quickly, and continued to focus on his delicious taste. She couldn't even begin to describe it... She just knew that something about it, along with everything else, released feelings she'd never even dreampt of.

Suddenly remembering his question, she pulled back again, this time stepping off of him. "I'd love to Arctic." She grinned, as she gazed down at him.

[Arctic Fang]

Arc looked up at her and grinned, a sort of goofy but knowing grin, a fully aware grin. He sensed that she was feeling the same things as he was. He felt the scent of her getting stronger and stronger by the minute and now he only wished to entice that aroma to it's fullest potential, until she to felt the sweet smelling odor misting from her very own skin.

She stepped off of him and he automatically rolled to his side, his head cocked up so that he could look at her. It was time to get up and so he did since she still wished to see the lake and to perhaps take a swim. The excitement welled up in his body as he thought of seeing her fur all wet and hugging to her beautiful frame. Shivers coasted up his back.

Arc finally stood and walked passed her, purposefully brushing his much larger frame against hers, rubbing enticingly against the nap of her fur. "You are going to love the lake. It's refreshing and so relaxing." Arc turned and smiled at Alei. Clearly he was up to no good. Quickly he licked her upper lip and then ran, hoping that she would give chase to him as he laughed out loud, dashing and darting through the land until they came to the lake.

The pair stood on the edge of the water. The lake was vast and very calm on this day. It was fresh water, it being fed from the rather large water fall that their cave wore as a cascading veil over it's face. Arc simply looked at it and then at her, waiting for her to say something, anything so that he could hear her sweet voice once more and certainly her approval.
