Fly Me Away - Lucero - Apr 12, 2013 RE: There is a full moon. A surprise thread for {Fenru} [dohtml]
[/dohtml] RE: Fly Me Away - Fenru - Apr 13, 2013 This really was a surprise! Had a long day at work and this was superduperpleasant to discover. Thankies in advance. <3 [dohtml] For so many nights he aimlessly wandered, so many mornings observed and several afternoons and evenings wasted... thinking. The facts were simple and they all led to one veritable truth. Fenru Tainn should not have been here. Corinna had told him to go, and she had guilted him into staying home, but still the boy had stolen away into the night wrought with wild emotions and the utter disappointment of how poorly he still behaved in the face of dire situations. He was a wolf, nothing more and nothing less, yet he acted as though something much tamer than the instincts that reigned over him. And, on that train of thought, down, down, and down he went, thrashing about westbound through the Lore without a second thought. Spring had come finally and with it, his winter pelt had started to shed, making the lean and slightly wiry frame that had become his adult build underneath show. In the soft moonlight, the patches of ivory and silver shone in stark contrast to the darker colors on his coat; but, he was neither worried nor concerned about it. Others who were nearby, predator or prey alike, would hear him coming before they could even pick him out between the trunks of the trees. With every other heavy step it seemed something was disturbed: a twig snapped, his hardened paw pads and claws scraped down the side of a small rock, leaves rustled, blades of grass swayed against one another in a telltale swooshing sound that told of his passing. It wasn't until he realized that he had come upon the sight of a still body of water did he stop. Warm orange eyes, rendered a cold and pale gray in the moonshine, fell to his paws as he lifted one to sniff the cold mud that now caked the bottom of it. He frowned and shook his head, placing it back down with a crisp squishing sound before looking over the lagoon. His nose twitched and he next thing he knew he was stepping towards the water's edge and craning his neck downward so he could lap at the glasslike surface. The icy water quenched the thirst he had been ignoring for a better part of day and it seemed for a time that he felt like he could not stop drinking. He did though, and the reason why came in the form of someone emerging from the water. Fenru licked the droplets of water from his maw, standing up straight as he took in the ripples that tried to reach him where he stood. He tried to sample the air for traces of her scent, forced his eardrums to listen for her voice in the still air. She shook out her glowing cream-colored coat and he watched in awe. In a series of memories, of things that were once forgotten now newly recalled, he reeled upon remembered how far he had gone from his family's territory. Where there should have been a cautionary warning or courteous salutation, Fenru, still Swift River's youngest {male} Guard, said the first word that came to his mind, "Arlette?!"

[/dohtml] RE: Fly Me Away - Fenru - Apr 13, 2013 [dohtml] As he had expected she looked at him, really looked at him and the boy saw the shock flicker across her face. His tail wagged but slowly stopped in midair as she informed him that she was not Arlette Lyall of Grizzly Hollow. "Oh," he muttered, hoping she wouldn't pick up the note of disappointment in his tone. He mustered up a smile but it did not stay on his face and he continued to gaze upon her still interested nevertheless. Truth be told, Fenru had not seen many white wolves - Arlette, Ice, Cali, and his Aunt Borlla were the only three he had ever laid eyes on - and the sudden the idea of him never finding or seeing the younger of three women he had only chance meetings with tore at his mind. It had never occurred to him until now that Relic Lore was much larger than he had initially imagined. To even think that his pack and family were only a few among several, maybe even a couple hundred, others made his head spin. He lifted a large paw, slowly placing it down in step as he turned to look at her fully. The distinct features that made her her had yet to be seen, but for the time being he eyed her quietly, unsure how to go about learning more about her if she found him suitable company to keep. "Who are you then?" he questioned rather eagerly, his voice curling up on the last word. "I-if it's okay to ask..." RE: Fly Me Away - Lucero - Apr 14, 2013 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] RE: Fly Me Away - Fenru - Apr 17, 2013 [dohtml] Lucero. Luce. "Luce," he tested her name on his tongue and through his teeth, ultimately smiling as he placed it to memory. "I'm Fenru," he answered her, a more becoming smile placing itself on his masked features. His tail wagged as he watched her take a step forward. Phew! At least she didn't seem to find him intimidating. Then again, he realized that distance might have shrunk his large physique into a more approachable dimension. She also seemed genuinely interested in meeting him, even if she gazed across the water and avoided his gaze. The boy took the opportunity to sneak a little closer. One step, two steps... three, four... Then one more large step and he was a stone's throw away from her. His eyes narrowed as he looked across the Lagoon after her line of sight. Nothing specifically jumped out at him, visually, but when he slowly turned to look upon her once more he realized that she did not carry the distinct scent of cedars as strongly as Arlette had. He could feel himself growing bashful, his muscles tensing apprehensively as he took in her elegant features and the way the moon's glow actually seemed to make her seem luminescent as well. The more he ogled at her the more he realized what was different between Luce and the girl from the Hollow. He wasn't able to discern as much as he initially wanted though (he had noticed that she had a 'saddle' marking of sorts on her back and a bit of gray shading on her face), the fact that she was peering across the water had him suddenly baffled. "Umm," he fumbled with his words, nervously chuckling two airy notes in turn. "What're... What are you looking at over there?" RE: Fly Me Away - Lucero - Apr 17, 2013 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] RE: Fly Me Away - Fenru - Apr 18, 2013 [dohtml] He trained his eyes on the water again as she drew closer, leveling her head with his. Both of them for a time seemed to be scanning the scenery for something. But what? He wasn't so sure until she told him to wait. His nose twitched, patiently wondering what she was about to show him or do to him. For a second he tried to talk himself into believing she was messing with his head until something small lit up over the water, its reflection making it seem like there were two pinpricks of light. Fenru was sure she was looking at him, maybe even staring as another small flash of light lit up in another location apart from where he had seen the first one. She told him to look and ever so slowly he began to notice them. Here, there, over the water, and even seemingly high enough to look as though they could kiss the moon from where he stood. Lights. Little things that were like stars, blinking and twinkling against the backdrop of night. Though he had been initially wonderstruck, a smile played on his lips. Never in his whole life had he ever seen anything like this. Whatever they were, it was obviously apparent he had never seen them in the Grove, not even even on the mountain or on the other side of it where his sister now laid in peace. "Wow," he breathed, turning his head in small degrees to just watch a small light flicker out only to glow again in another place nearby. "What are they?" RE: Fly Me Away - Lucero - Apr 19, 2013 [dohtml]
[/dohtml] RE: Fly Me Away - Fenru - Apr 22, 2013 [dohtml] "They're fireflies, Fenru," she supplied him with an equally mind-boggling answer. Fire, he knew from family lore, was one thing, and flies, from personal experience, were another. But, fire-flies? Whoa. He glanced to her as she asked whether or not he wanted to get a closer look. Regardless of if he actually wanted to or not, Luce proceeded in going ahead to investigate. "Come on!" she shouted to him. He obeyed, his tail high as it wagged about, sending the fireflies that came too close spiraling in the opposite direction. She had just disappeared behind a curtain of cattails when he arrived at the obstacle. "Luce?" he called after her, slowly parting the tall plants with his muzzle just as she had. "Lucero?" She seemed to have become awful quiet on the other side and was starting to think he had to come to her rescue. Don't worry, I'm coming! his mind cried, his cumbersome frame awkwardly navigating him through the small patch of flowering plants on the water's edge. By the time his head managed to break free from between the slender blades, he saw her turn back to look at him. She was fine... Perfectly fine. He breathed a soft sigh of relief and another grin curled the corners of his mouth upward, especially now that he noticed how rather silly and winsome she looked when a firefly landed on the tip of her nose. He snickered lightly as fought to keep his balance, tottering forward to fully emerge into the openness of the weir. "You, um," he lifted a forepaw slowly, partially gesturing to point at his own nose. "Ya got a... uh... there." "Here," he edged closer to her, tilting his muzzle downward just slightly as if to threaten the glowing bug with the proximity of his nose. It just... didn't seem like it felt threatened! As much as he wanted to just blow at it, huff and puff with all his might in hopes that it find some other place to land, he held his breath, and in trying to nudge it off of her, bumped his nose lightly into hers. As the pesky insect hovered up and away, Fenru took a half-step back in embarrassment. "Oopsorry!" |
