sharp teeth, fast feet - Vander - Mar 06, 2012 [dohtml]
The creek as his profluent guide, he meandered along it's twist, and turns to the east. It was there he had spotted several coyotes gnawing on some sort of carcass, and it was worth a look. His run became a quick trot, not wishing to tire himself out. He needed to keep his energy to scare the other carnivores off, and this time he had backup. Pakuna. He did not know a hell of a lot about her. Almost instantly, he liked her, and that was enough for him. If his judgement was correct, or further proved he was hoping to find out in this chase. He did not forget she was padding along on this trek with him. He would twist his head enough to see her, and casually drift onward. He did not really speak, feeling small talk time was over. sharp teeth, fast feet - Pakuna - Mar 06, 2012 [dohtml] Pakuna followed behind Vander, both ears and eyes waiting for the small tawny furred beasts. She felt her heart beating a steady rhythm, and to that rhythm she walked. Her nostrils were taking in the scent of Vander as she tailed closely behind, her brain registering her scent. This handsome male was one she did not wish to forget. Pale emerald eyes observed the scarred trees as they made their way through the forest. They seemed to be begging to fall, but instead they stood, long mangled branches reaching feebly towards the heavens. She had not seen a forest quite like this one. She brought her head back down to shoulder level as she continued forth, muscles rolling fluently beneath her dark pelt. Her tail flicked as the sight of a carcass came into view, with the rodents they called coyotes surrounding them. Catching Vander's wink, Pakuna felt a sheepish grin slip across her maw, but it soon disappeared as she burst forth into action. Her cream toned legs carried her at a full sprint, outstretched and spraying wet snow all about. Her auds narrowed in a hasty matter, focusing upon a coyote that had turned on heel away from the carcass. Ears flattening tightly against her skull, Pakuna bolted after the creature, gaining on it quickly. It had felt like forever since she fooled with these critters. Her jaws opened , ivory fangs exposed to the warm sunlight as she craned her neck out, snapping onto the coyote's right hind limb. The scraggly creature released a deafening yelp, flipping onto its side and snapping at the air. Pakuna felt a sharp sting as the coyote clipped her thick furred cheek. Growling, the shewolf grasped onto its neck with her jaws. Her auds listened intently to the slight whimpering of the animal before she released it, watching it dash away. Pakuna turned back towards Vader, observing him mouth at the coyotes. She grinned, and bounded forth to join the fun. sharp teeth, fast feet - Vander - Mar 07, 2012 [dohtml]
A yelp screeched high from the second victim while it jerked hard to get away from his snapping jaws. He easily let it go, the second following close at it's friends heals.Two down. He was not aware how many they had to go. Keeping tabs on those close to him, he didn't see any immediate target.His fur bristled, and let out a threatening, sharp woof there was to be more pain. A young one scattered, and when he turned he spotted Pakuna, both powerful and elegant breaking the distance to get some more. He smirked, his fluffy tail wildly flying behind him, he did not stare long. He crinkled his nose, and made a fake snap at the closest coyote to him, a snarl ripping after the clink of his jaws. This coyote leaned back, sending it's own growl of warning. Crouching low his large shoulders widened, and his tongue snaked between his canines. They began circling, his eyes upon the faded brown. The coyote made the first move, rather quick biting just at his chest bone. He let out a soft yip as teeth met flesh. Now the coyote was beneath him, and his opened mouth encircled it's smaller neck. He dug deep into it until the coyote released it's hold. Before the creature ran off he nipped it once again at it's haunches to further encourage it to be on it's way. sharp teeth, fast feet - Pakuna - Mar 07, 2012 [dohtml] Pakuna watched as Vander warded off the other coyotes. The creatures scampered off but turned back to observe the two wolves, waiting to return to their carcass. Sneering, Pakuna looked away from the smaller canines and approached Vander. Her eyes focused on his tail, which seemed to be working like a metronome. Pakuna dipped her cranium graciously as the male pointed his deep brown nose to her then the sow. She had only eaten one boar in her life time, so tasting this creature again would be something interesting. She lowered her head to the animal, letting its scent fill her nose. Pale emerald eyes peered up at Vander's "Ye were quite impressive" she smirked softly, looking to the coyotes before glancing back at Vander. She parted her jaws now, gripping down upon the dark stomach flesh of the sow and ripping her head upwards. The meat tore easily, releasing a metallic scent into the air. Her jaws worked the meat, tongue picking up every taste. It was sweet and gamey- very enjoyable. Pakuna's fluffy tail flicked briefly in delight. She lifted her head, swallowing the meat, then looked to Vander, waiting for him to try it. As she gazed at the male, she felt a sort of magnetism within her- like she did not want to part ways with her new found companion. Nay, she did not know him all that well, but she picked up good vibes as soon as she met him. They had rid of their boredom, chasing coyotes together, which is something she had never really done, but found it quite enjoyable. Pakuna realized she was still looking at Vander, and she shook her head, looking back down at the sow. Feeling her face grow warm, she was thankful for her thick fur, as Vander would not be able to see her blushing. [/dohtml] sharp teeth, fast feet - Vander - Mar 10, 2012 [dohtml]
Faded, green eyes stared into his. They seemed smooth like the top of water on a creek. He did not let the contact last too long. Instead he smirked, shifting his own gaze to match hers to the whining coyotes. "You're not bad yourself." It was not much of a flattery way of words, but it was not intended to be. It was more of an admiration the way she had handled herself. Skills, and quick thinking were high on his list of things that matter. Sharply his blond ears shot back, and he licked his chops when the tear of flesh crack in his ears. He hadn't eaten anything large in months, only measly morsels of pathetic varmints, and birds. It only took one look from her for him to join in. He started working at the bit of meat behind the shoulder blade (or what was left), gripping the carcass with his paws before ripping a large morsel free. He ground it between his teeth eagerly chomping it, and rushing it down his throat. He continued in this manner. Who knew the next time he would have a decent meal? sharp teeth, fast feet - Pakuna - Mar 11, 2012 [dohtml] Pakuna lowered her cranium again, tearing into the flesh of the fallen beast once more. It was delicious. She lifted her head again, looking to the clear sky before sighing in satisfaction. Pink tongue ran 'cross her crimson soaked maw, only taking a small amount of blood away. She grinned a bit at the male's compliment. She was not full, but sat- isfied. Resting on her haunches, her bushy tail flicked to and fro before resting on the ground next to her right haunch. She nodded her head slowly at his question "Aye. I've only had boar once in me life. It be a pleasant meal to have once more." Her ears perked up, and she rose to her feet once more. She looked to the sad, charred trees as Vander munched on the carcass. A slow sigh escaped her mouth as she watched two crows land in a dead tree. Their ebon feathers shone in the sunlight, their beady eyes scanning the forest. Pakuna turned her head, thick fur on her neck ruffling as her head came 'round. A slight chuckle rumbled in her throat as she watched Vander lay down, obviously very full. "Eh, I dunno" she said. She really had no clue where she was to go, or what she was to do. The shewolf looked at the ground "Aye, a pack would be great." she said quietly. Her green eyes caught a ray of the sun- light, shining a brilliant jade tone. She craned her neck, head facing the crows again, and eyes scan- ning the charred tree. Pakuna shrugged her shoulders, muscles raising her dark pelt up and down slowly. "They be sad lookin'." she said rather blatantly, a small frown tugging at her dark lips. Still looking at the trees, her tone changed a bit "Surprised ye aren't in a pack yet. I think the females would be all over ye." She tossed her head slightly, gazing at the cream-blonde brute before looking back to the pair of crows in the mangled branches of the tree. She was always fascinated by those with feathers. sharp teeth, fast feet - Vander - Mar 11, 2012 [dohtml]
She appeared to enjoy the free meal, laughing at his inconvenience. He returned a toothy grin, but it was of no threat only a mere joke. Then he bobbed his cream head to her. "It is nice, I just wondered what they eat, and how the hell the coyotes got a hold of it." He said, a little disturbed if there were that many coyotes around. He shook the back of his shoulders, before rolling onto his side to stretch the lump in his stomach. sharp teeth, fast feet - Pakuna - Mar 11, 2012 [dohtml] Pakuna watched as the ebon feathered creatures hobbled up a mangled branch, their bodies teetering as a cool wind passed between the scarred and ashy looking trees. They took to the air briefly, eyes obviously on the boar below. Pakuna closed her eyes, allowing the breeze to thread itself within her dark coat. She took in a breath through her nostrils, smelling nothing but the old scent of the boar's blood. Ears were intently listening to Vander's voice as he spoke. Lids raised, green eyes sliding over to the cream wolf. Pakuna smirked a bit, before circling the male for a brief moment. "I ne'er had the chance to take care of some younguns'. What be it like?" she questioned. For a moment, her brows furrowed in slight frustration at her sudden realization- she never took care of pups. She had been a lone wolf most of her life, and she had only seen pups a few times. Suddenly grunting, the shewolf flicked her tail in a bit of annoyance. "I be gettin' up in age as well." Her voice seemed to quiver for a second in a sullen way, but it dissolved as she forced out a slight chuckle. "Was never sure 'bout 'em. Tried to avoid males as much as possible durin' the matin' season". She now walked in a circle a bit closer to Vander, her tail just barely brushing his cream and blonde toned flank. She wondered if this wolf had ever been in love. Pakuna tried to think of a male wolf she was once bonded to, but she could not think of one. Her mind was a film running in her head, but it only starred her. There was never any other. sharp teeth, fast feet - Vander - Mar 14, 2012 [dohtml]
His creamy brows raised in a sudden surprise, then they lightly touched while an uncertain smile shaped the side of his muzzle. It was a poor assumption to think because she was female she would have had time with little ones. "Huh," he murmured not sure how to quite share nor hide his dumb moment. The flick of her tail caught his attention, and his cream face smoothed. "No shame in that, it's one of those things that come natural to some." He doubted it would make her feel better about the issue, but at least he tried. The lack of knowledge on the subject might say she hadn't been in a pack long after she grew up, or there was just no pups. That idea in mind, he lifted his head, and then pulled himself into a sit. "It's alright. Some days are better than others," he lifted a hind limb to scratch at his chest while continuing, "I enjoyed it for the most part, watching 'em grow, their curiosity, and how they seem to absorb everything. I actually hope I get to see some more before my time comes." He placed his paw back down, straightening up. He didn't feel as much as a bloated cow now, and found sitting to be pleasant again. He wished he might explain better, he wasn't much for words, not when he didn't know someone very well. sharp teeth, fast feet - Pakuna - Mar 14, 2012 [dohtml] Green eyes watched Vander as he spoke, absorbing his facial expressions. She could tell that he attempted to make her feel a bit better, and she appreciated this. Black tipped tail swayed slowly as he continued to speak, now about the pups. Oh how she now wished she had some of her own. Once she passed, what bloodline was there to be of her left? None. For all she knew, her mother and father were long gone. Tossing her head, Pakuna sighed slightly, watching as Vander seated himself comfortably. The shewolf nodded as the wolf said he is smarter than he used to be. She could completely agree with that statement for herself as well. Through the years, she had learned to cope and survive on her own. A pang of sadness shot through her chest as she thought of the day she left her mother. It wasn't guilt, no, but worry. How was her mother to survive on her own? Pakuna felt older, wiser. Nay, she was not a dowager, for she still had a few years left to her life. She padded back around to Vander's side, and nodded her head softly. "Aye. I think that sounds good. All the luck to ye findin' a pack." she said, her voice suddenly sounding sweet. She grinned a bit before turning away. "I hope to see ye again, Vander." she cooed, beginning to pad away from the handsome wolf. She honestly did want to see that wolf again. Out of the wolves she had recently met, she felt an attraction to him, one that she did not want to lose. [{Pakuna Exits}] |
