Little Circles, Big Steps - Chantille - May 25, 2012 [dohtml]
Little Circles, Big Steps - Sloane - May 25, 2012 She agreed with him and stepped yet closer, turning and brushing her tail just beneath his nose, giving him another sample of the sent that was Chantille. If he didn't know better, he'd think that she was flirting with him. Of course, his experience with females was exactly zero, so he had no idea if that was the case or not. Either way, she invited him to play chase of all things. He hadn't played chase since he was a gangly pup with ridiculously over-sized paws, but he had to admit it sounded like fun... a run across the rugged mountains with her. Taking in her teasing tone, he concluded that she thought he would not be able to keep up with her. Perhaps not, but he would sure have fun trying to do so on her own 'turf' so to speak. "I am a little rusty, but a game of chase sounds... entertaining!" He just hoped that he didn't end up falling on his face in front of her. That would be quite embarrassing, to say the least! "You take the lead and I will do my best to emulate your grace!" He had seen her before and barring her brief stumble she fairly oozed grace and elegance. Grace was not the first word that came to mind when you looked at Sloane Thorben! Little Circles, Big Steps - Chantille - May 25, 2012 [dohtml]
Little Circles, Big Steps - Sloane - May 25, 2012 Without another word the ivory fae turned and led the way, speeding faster and faster over the uneven terrain. Being such a large wolf had it's definite disadvantages and lack of speed was the biggest one. He kept up a decent enough pace, but soon fell behind the agile woman. He kept on his gaze on the treacherous ground before him, but continuously glanced forward to see her bounding about as graceful as a gazelle. He knew that he had no real chance of keeping up with her, due to his steady yet lumbering gait, but it really didn't bother him. He was enjoying the exertion and the challenge. He finally gained a bit of ground back when she began to climb in earnest, hopping up each ledge and gaining altitude. This didn't require speed, calling rather for strength and sure-footedness. He lunged his great body upwards, thrilling in the feel of his muscles bunching and coiling beneath his burnished coat. He gave a small deep laugh as he steadily closed the distance now. Until her foot loosed a small rock that catapulted downward and hit him square between the eyes as accurately as David had with Goliath. He hadn't seen it in time to dodge and grunted when it struck him. He stopped his assent for a moment, standing on his current ledge and shaking his large head to clear it. Anywhere else and he probably wouldn't have even noticed it. Now his amber eyes were slightly crossed. After a moment his head cleared and he laughed at the sight that he must have made, felled by a pebble! With a laugh, he continued to bound up after the disappearing Chantille.

Little Circles, Big Steps - Sloane - May 25, 2012 Sloane neared the top, glancing up to she the creamy pelted female standing proud at the top, waving her thick brush of a tail in victory. He smiled for she looked beautiful and so very proud of herself. In truth, he never stood a chance in a race, but knowing that allowed him to enjoy himself anyways and not dwell on the fact that he'd just been smoked by a delicate female. As he climbed the last few footholds he said, "There was no need to stack the deck by throwing rocks at me!" With that he rubbed the spot between his eyes that still smarted a bit, but his tone was teasing and there was a smile on his face. When he climbed the last step to stand besides her he took a breath in and expelled it with a heartfelt, "Wow." The incredible view from up here was nearly overwhelming and got his heart beating with the thrill of it. He glanced down at the fae beside him, for he fairly towered over her this close and shook his head in wonder. "Chantille, it's just beautiful up here. It's well, ... wow!" He felt the need to ingeminate himself. Other words escaped him for the moment. He finally tore his gaze away from the ivory female and stared out at the scene, He'd never been up so high, in such a potentially precarious position, he thought as he looked down at the incredibly steep drop of before their paws. He felt his blood pumping through his veins, making him feel more alive, somehow and his tail waved gently in the strong breeze that was combing through their pelts.

Little Circles, Big Steps - Sloane - May 26, 2012 Sloane glance back down at Chantille. She was looking towards the sun in the sky, likely taking note of the time. He sighed and knew what she was about to say even before the words left her delicate muzzle. Their time was coming to a close. She called their time together lovely, and while it was accurate, it would not sound right coming out of a big strapping male. That's what he told himself anyways. "Yes, I have truly enjoyed our time together as well. You've even given me a momemto for the occasion!" With that he lightly rubbed the spot between his eyes with his paw again, laughing. He turned and led the way back down the rise that they had just sped up moments before, at a much more sedate pace, his thoughts a bit more serious now. His expression was hidden from her with him in the lead, but a small shadow of sadness flickered across his face. She was his first friend here in Relic Lore and he really had enjoyed their short time together. Her teasing banter and strength of spirit definitely appealed to him. He wanted to see her again, but there was no telling if he ever would. When they arrived at the bottom, he put a cheerful expression back on his face and turned towards her. "Chantille, it has been my honor to meet you and have you show me some of your beautiful mountain. I've no idea where this wanderer will come to rest, but surely we shall see each other again some day." After a moment he remembered something that she'd said earlier and he brightened. "You still have to show me your field of fire! So now there's no doubt. We'll run into each other again!" Little Circles, Big Steps - Chantille - May 26, 2012 If you can toss in one more reply, we'll archive it and get our points <3 Sloane and Chant definitely need to meet up again :D [dohtml]
Little Circles, Big Steps - Sloane - May 26, 2012 She laughed and smiled at him assuring him that she would. Then she nuzzled his cheek in friendship and promised that they would meet again, telling him to howl for her if he was in the area. Definitely. "I promise to do that, Chantille!" he said in his deep smooth voice. Then the beautiful, spirited fae turned and headed towards her home, leaving him all alone once more. It was the state that he was accustomed to, but somehow, it seemed lonelier with his new friend gone. He had not had any friends over the past year, so he hadn't missed them. Their short time together had given him a taste of what he had been missing out on. Food for thought...food for thought... With that realization burning in his brain, Sloane began to think about what it might be like to be a part of a pack again. It was definitely something to think about. Then the large russet wolf turned northward and continued on his solitary way. |
