Umbra Copse Dare you to

Esper stood still as the cackle of the male's laugh filled her ears. She scrutinized the wolf in front of her. He was pallid like her, but instead of cream he was pure white. His fur was rather...mangled. Typical. It was long and looked extremely unkempt. She let her posture relax, but not to a full "comfortable". She tilted her head just to a slight angle and rolled her shoulders back letting her paws grip the ground in front of her, and her tail hung low, but not in a submissive way. She wasn't sure exactly what the male intended for her, but oddly she was captivated by him.

With a flick of her tail she allowed her eyes to retain to his.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize wolves made a habit of following me when unasked.
Revealing a toothy grin she let a smirk catch her face.

The male seemed to show no aggression, but he did come a little too close without her invitation. Trying not to portray her tense position of his presence she stepped to the side, not letting her eyes move from his. The night was closing in and it was not Esper's prime time. She wouldn't want to be caught in a crunch during the night. The male was clearly following her...but why? Would she be able to slip away without him tracking her down? She didn't know enough about him to even jump to conclusions..but any wolf...was not worth her time....but if he was different..like her..what would she do? How would she react?

Ugh, so many questions Esper...don't let this one fool you, they're all the same.

He stood watching as she took him in. He had his chance to do the same to her so he was giving her a chance to do the same. Maybe he should just start a fight. He was just itching to see who would come out on top and with her relaxing he wanted to do so even more. Restraining himself mentally he scolded himself internally. I need to work more on verbal skills as well as physical ones he thought to himself. Her words had him laughing though. I didn't realize that you had to ask in order to follow someone. He shook his head amazed. Why would anyone ask before they began to follow a stranger? It baffled him to the point that he wondered if she had grown up in a rather strange place or if she thought that every wolf she met was peaceful. 

His eyes watched her move to the side. Was she scared of him? Good. The thought pleased him and a wicked smile spread on his face. Boldly stepping towards her kill he asked Mind if I have a bite? Not waiting for a response he sank his fangs into the flesh. His eyes remained on her waiting to see if she would try and chase him away or let him eat in peace. Either way the taste that exploded on his tongue was worth whatever she tried to do afterword but then if she did try to chase him away it wasn't going to work out well for her at all. Kay wasn't much of a runner and was always willing to fight.

Surprisingly, him digging into her meal didn't catch her off guard. What bothered her was his openly admitting to following her. She glared at him as he spoke these words. Esper held her head high, displaying that he was not above her in any way..especially since he decided to just prod into her meal. Well, she was finished with it anyways.

Her eyes flickered over him, he was larger than her for sure. That just made it easier to outrun him, but he could overpower her if he really wanted to..or if he ever caught her. Her over-sized ears twitched back and forth, he clearly enjoyed the tension in this situation. If he gave any signs of aggression she could easily escape, she had no worries of that. Besides...why escape just yet? If he could have fun...why couldn't she?

Don't be naive...you're not a lost pup in the wood.

She was completely competent of taking care of herself without anyone else interfering, she mostly thought this over and over just to remind herself she had made it this far or at least convince herself she was still capable of it. Instead of backing up, Esper trotted to him and allowed her tail to gently brush against his leg as she passed him. She turned her head and sniffed in the opposite direction and kept along. Isn't it astonishing how girls emotions can change in an instant? That's how females end up ruling the world, whether the males realized it or not. Well, that was not entirely the case for Esper...she was just learning to hide her fear for her own sake. The quick change of her nature would probably bemuse the male, and hopefully catch him off guard. For he had caught her off guard...so what was fair was fair, right?

Esper looked at him with a half-smile, it was almost fake because she wasn't exactly sure how to react. She always enjoyed a little mystery..not knowing what could happen would scare anyone...but it was different for her. And do not get her wrong, she was extremely cautious...but the constant yearning for knowledge of something she couldn't comprehend was captivating and elusively rare. Instead of replying instantly to the male's snide utterance, Esper just looked at him. Her eyes were almost bewitching, they brimmed with intelligence and the tints of golds and browns just enhanced her already magnificent features.

She licked her lips, just out of habit, for the deer's smell still was heavy among the low branches.

I'm really glad you joined this thread because this is really entertaining. ^^

Her proud look had him laughing between bites of the fresh meat. It didn't matter to him if she thought he was being rude but the way she held herself as if he was nothing but a cur had him raising his lips to bare fangs, but he didn't move towards her. He wasn't willing to let a free meal slide quite yet so he remained were he was taking another bite. He ignored the way she seemed to be eyeing him some more if she wanted to look he would let her. When she moved towards him though his head went up as he watched. She seemed to be ignoring him that is until he felt the soft brush of her tail rubbing against his legs. Surprised his gaze followed her before a feral grin spread on his face. Oh she was going to play with him then did she? First she was afraid and uncertain and now she was almost bold and fearless. How interesting.

When she looked over her shoulder at him he growled softly as he padded up to her his hackles raising slightly. The motions weren't as aggressive as they could have been and there was a slightly playful edge to the growl. Nipping lightly at her shoulder he growled. Careful I do bite. He ended it with a wide grin that bared his fangs quite nicely. Her gaze had him focusing on her intently and then she licked her lips. He wasn't sure if it was because of the deer or out of habit, but he gave her another light nip this time between her shoulder blades. It was interesting that she didn't seem to want him to leave but rather wanted to stay and play awhile with him. He decided that he would try and refrain from hurting her seeing as he rarely had a chance to have some fun and when he did it was few and far. So no matter what his previous intentions were he would try and keep the violence to a minimum but the tension would remain, it just added to the fun.

Eee thank you! I'm enjoying it too.



Esper knew her gaze would have an effect on him, her eyes were too easy to get lost in. Her motives seemed to be paying off, she had his attention away from the deer and simply on her. She let a grin creep on her face when she heard his growl, it wasn't menacing or aggressive, just a growl to let her know he was interested and there. She reminded herself to relax, she was getting what she wanted, just some fun.

When he sauntered to her side and nipped her shoulders she knew she was in for some real amusement.  

I take that as a challenge.

Her voice was teasing and kittenish. She looked back to him in a cunning manner and grinned and skipped a few feet away, this time letting her tail brush his chest. It was enthralling that Esper was enjoying company...having someone to play with was actually quite exciting. However, the play can't last forever..and she knew it in the back of her mind, and then she would be on her own again. Esper had always had trouble trusting others, just because no one ever gave her a good reason to. She definitely didn't trust this brute, but he could still be a contender...probably not though. Oh well, the play was just beginning.

Gripping the ground beneath her paws she stuck her rump up in the air as she faced him, swaying back and forth, wagging her tail at a solid beat. Letting out a small yip she bounded into the trees and looked back to see if he would follow.

Kay was still rather surprised at her change of emotions, but he kept that thought hidden away as she told him in a teasing tone of voice that she took it as a challenge. A feral grin spread on his face as she danced her tail across his chest while pulling away from him. A rumbling growl rolled up his throat as he watched her go down into a bow. Oh she did want to play now did she? He would take what he could get from this experience and think back on it when he got into one of his moods. It might keep him from tearing someone's throat out. 

As she raced away a yip echoing in his ears he watched as she glanced over her shoulder to see if he was coming or not. Like the ghost his fur mimicked he raced silently after her. With his gold eyes gleaming he brushed against her side as he continued past her. If she wanted to get him to bite she would have to get clever because if he knew that the bait hid a hook he wasn't going to bite. He was eager to see what she came up with and whirling around he dipped into his own bow and snapped his ivory fangs at her as his tail swung loosely behind him. Telling her without words to come and try. He would definitely be curious what she came up with to get him to bite. Curious indeed.

As the two rushed through the woods she noticed how light on his feet he was, just like her. Esper had always been light-footed, it was what made it so easy for her to just run away rather than stay and fight for whatever ridiculous reason wolves came up with. She always thought it silly for wolves to fight over land, honestly they just marked their territory and apparently that gave them full reign over all? Interesting how she could manipulate them and stay on "their land" without them ever noticing... And it was even more silly for wolves to fight over one another, mates were important of course...but who really was worth fighting for? Esper couldn't come up with a solid answer.

As he brushed against her and landed a few feet in front of her, Esper watched as he invited her to play with his rump up in the air. She looked at him with a devious smile and clicked her tongue once as she opened her mouth to reveal her glittering teeth. Without losing eye contact, she allowed herself to slowly circle the male, getting closer and closer with each round. Finally she stopped in front of him. As her eyes penetrated into his, she bent her head and almost let her nose touch his..and then in a split second she was off again.

She peered behind a tree, her ears were so vexatiously large you could see them no matter how hard she tried to hide; her whole body swayed along with her tail--she was almost giddy at how much fun she was having.

Damn ears, always getting in the way...

It's up to you if his 'attack' lands or not.

Kay was finding this immensely interesting as he watched her with gold eyes. A low growl rumbled in his chest as she bared her ow pearly whites at him. Then ever so slowly she began to circle him. His head twisted as he followed the her movements until she she dipped her head to seemingly touch him on the nose. He wasn't sure if he should pull back or not when in a sudden flurry of motion she was off again racing away from his bowed form. Getting up the ghostly male laughed under his breath as she peered around a tree her large ears sticking out obviously. 

Stretching his legs out he raced towards her hiding form before stopping suddenly so that the motion sent a wave of snow at her form. His eyes were filled with mischievous as he then proceeded to lunge forward. Using the snow that he had sent her way he was hoping that he could knock her over so that she was on the ground with him over her. It would make things rather interesting but seeing as he couldn't quote see her he wasn't sure if his aim was true or not. Either way the movement would likely surprise her and even as he thought this he grinned. What to do if he did get her on the ground? The options that were available to him but in any case he was having fun and having this type of fun was rare for him so he was going to enjoy it to the fullest.

Hiding behind the tree allowed Esper's head to catch up with her play. She was actually interacting with another of her kind and enjoying it.

Does he do this often? Or is this new for--

Before she could finish her thought, Esper's face was quilted with unexpected snow and before she could blink away this unforeseen event she felt her body knocked over by the larger male. She let out a small yip of surprise. Fear swept over her in an instant. Her ears immediately fell to the top of her head as she shrank to the ground. Her courage was in her feet, and all too suddenly-it was taken away from her.

Instead of looking to the ground where she was sprawled out on, she managed to look at the male's face, hoping to God that vengeance wasn't in his eyes. Before letting fear take hold, she noticed that in his eyes wasn't violence, but pure mischief. Realizing that fear occupied her thoughts too often she tried to cover up the fact that she had let it have such a hold over her. She bared her teeth and nipped at his ankles allowing herself to crawl free, still with snow whipped through her fur and a small bit still on her nose.

Feeling his frame push over hers, he found himself laughing under his breathe. When the snow settled back down he found himself looking her straight in the face. Her overall stature though all but screamed fear at him. The scent that was coming off her fur had turned sour with it. Eyes still filled with mischief he pressed his nose into the scruff of her neck before dancing away as she began to nip at his ankles freeing herself of him. Kay was feeling rather pleased with himself and this encounter so when he twisted to look at her once more he saw the snow on her already pale frame. He knew that he likely had some on him as well but he wasn't paying attention to it. His focus was on the she-wolf before him. 

Seeing the tiny little bit of snow on her nose he moved forward and being bold once more licked it away with the tip of his tongue. Mmm delicious. He teased her playfully as he moved forward so that their shoulders brushed. Using his teeth he nibbled at the snow that lay scattered on her back before twisting his head so that he could gently nip at her large ears. Not wanting to get the same treatment and curious to see what expression her snowy features held he pulled away a grin on his face and ears pricked with interest. She was interesting this one and he was almost glad to have met her this foggy day. Plus he was happy that he had gotten a free meal as well which once they were done playing he was going to return to in order to eat some more before he continued on his way. But for the moment he was content to keep going with their teasing and tussling.
