Chanting Chase (M) Don't look behind you.

Mature warning - Language and Ö-type teenager horror movie glices.

@Anaeia

Aurek was idling through the trees as he made his way through the Chanting Chase, the youngster by now utterly and completely lost and without direction. By now his search of Lorcan pretty much meant pick a random direction and go forth until you meet someone, from whom to ask if they might know where his dear uncle might be. Who knew tracking one butthole could be this difficult? To top it all off, he was also getting hungry.

"GUUHHHH!" -he exchaled loudly with frustration, while sitting down to think of his next move. It was chill early morning of a spring but it still felt like a heart of winter, the frikking cold not wanting to leave the Relic Lore just yet. Aurek noticed the forest was strangely silent, like something ominous was lurking amongst the trees - but he could not see anything, just had the feeling in his gut.

He stood up again and continued forward, unable to shed himself of the feeling that something was watching him. As he walked he kept glancing behind him, but the forest was just as empty as his belly every time. It was propably nothing, but every time Aurek looked behind him, he failed to convince himself that he indeed was alone. Finally, the feeling of someone's presence near him grew so strong that Aurek was not imagining it. He did not dare to look behind him but he knew there was a wolf. He could... he could feel it breathing on his back. One last time he turned around, this time completely, but where he imagined to find someone standing behind him... again there was but his own tracks and empty forest view. Aurek grumbled, growing more and more frustrated. Was he going mad? "Yeah.. thats right... stay in hiding.. im not afraid of you..." -He muttered, partly to convince himself that he was not frightened and partly to tell off his potential stalker that clearly he imagined.

Aurek turned again to continue his journey but as his gaze moved ahead, he suddenly found himself staring at a girl, standing mere inches from his face. The pale boy yelped and jumped back, landing onto his rump, his hearth exploding with adrenaline as he gasped for air. "Wh... What... WHAT THE FUCK!?" who the hell was this female and how the hell did she get so near him?

@Aurek

An eerie silence fell upon the forest, perhaps understanding that a life was being stalked somewhere within its depths. Funny how that works out. As though trying to warn the individual that danger is approaching, without actually being able to voice it. What a shame it would have been.

Amber eyes watched from the shadows, focused on the white figure of a wolf moving through the trees. There was a peak of curiosity forming from the observation, but at the same time that assassin side of the woman was zeroing in on its 'target.' Ears pulled forward, eyes wide and breathing had slowed down as she followed its movements. The body had lowered itself into a semi-crouch, paws carefully moving over the earth with a purpose. Her nostrils flared at the gathering of scents in the area, having placed herself downwind of the other.

He kept looking behind him, surely getting that instinctual feeling of being stalked. Every animal could tell. Unsettling. He wasn't sure if there someone or just imagination, and that is what got them most of the time. You could sit back and watch them throw themselves into a panic. And just when they think it has passed, that was when you struck.

The distance would grow smaller as she moved in, silent like an owl on a hunt. She was aware of her surroundings, able to place those paws in just the right spot and with enough pressure to barely make a leaf crunch beneath her weight. All those lessons proving greatly useful as she was able to sneak up along the individual's side, a breath caught on his back and causing the male to turn the opposite side.

By the time he had turned back around she was standing fully before him, snout pointed downward and eyes large, staring. She didn't appear to flinch or cock a brow at the scene that quickly unfurled. He fell back on his rump, yelping and yelling on the ground in shock. But the girl didn't react, didn't move. She simply stood there watching him intently, no flick of an ear, no raise of the tail. Just... being creepy.

Posts may be vague to show her silence and lack of body language to communicate with others. She simply stands there and stares, with the smallest of body gestures.

The pale boy sat there in the ground, his breathing hard and tense, his entire fur bristling and eyes wide with fear. He was by no means old man, but for a moment he had felt like that jump scare would give him an heart attack. He had yelled at her but there was no response, not even an reaction from her. Simply that unsettling stare which told Aurek there was something fucked up in this female. Outside she did not seem all that intimidating, not particularly dangerous or deadly. Had she not had that stare, Aurek would have even found her innocent or cute.

The white youngster stood onto his feet and then lifted his tail higher. He was afraid, no doupt about that, but he wasn't going to let some stupid girl bully him. His dear sister Duska had already done enough of that to him. He growled, not threateningly, but more stating his irritation, demanding to know why had she crept on him like this. "What? Why you staring at me like that?" -He muttered while standing as tall as he could. "...You gonna say anything? Hello?"

The male took a few moments to collect himself, breathing heavy and staring back at Anaeia who simply stood before him. But it was quickly displayed that he was unamused by her sudden and not so pleasant appearance. He brought himself up, lift lifting into the air and growling in agitation. Ears stood erect on her head, lips pulling back the slightest to show just the very tips of those fangs in response. Something about the lightest wrinkle in her brows was intimidating despite still appearing almost innocent. She could mean no harm should this simply be shown as an annoyance.

But as soon as those small signs were shown, they slid off and she remained as before. Like a switch was flipped. She did not need to stand tall, didn't need to bristle to show she meant business or bothered. Just gave a tilt of her head as she looked him over, nostrils flaring as she gathered his scent and stored valuable information about this inhabitant of the land.

She heard him, that much was clear but frustratingly she did not utter a word, simply stood there and slightly tilted her head. Longer the silence lingered, more unsettling that staring and just standing there started to feel like. Aurek took a step back, already settled that there was something wrong with this girl. "...say something!" -he yelled, growing more and more frustrated by the minute.

Perhaps she was mute or did not understand the language? Aurek tried to see if this was possibility. "Can you even understand me? Nod if you do or just.. give me some sign." -He pleaded, now with lower and more soothing voice. By now he was more settled on annoyance and frustration rather than fear, for despite what she might have been, she did have quite gentle features on her..

"You have a name?" -he tried another route. Perhaps they had got off on wrong foot or he might have offended her with his earlier yelling and swearing? It was so difficult to read her and lack of communication made this situation so unsettling.

There is a family of deer nearby. Hunt Opportunity

He yelled at her, but it did not faze the female. Much of her early life that had been done, and it had only gone so far back then. Now it was similar to breathing. He wanted her to speak, but that just wasn't possible. At least to this stranger, only one person had been able to bring that from her depths. And he was gone. But things could always change, her behaviour now even. Even if it looked strange, unhinged possibly. It was a matter of time and patience, as well as a low of self-control to get to the point of basic communication with the Wraith.

Alas, he questioned her intelligence. If she was even able to understand the male if she could give him a sign, a nod. This was possible, yes. It was an action deemed suitable for the situation. The lowering of his voice adding a coaxing manner to it. Gaze shifted back to his briefly, amber eyes flicking down to his nose. You don't make eye contact. That was a no-no. She would response though, ears giving a small bounce as they shifted forward. It was about subtle actions, one of her position having to rely on such small things to remain hidden and focused.

A name. This caused a small disturbance in the female, nostrils flaring out and her gaze further dropping away from the man. Such a simple thing caused a flare up, remembering how this had gone the last time with an individual. It was not a good one. She stepped aside, as though in thought. But rather than give a name to the male she instead rose back up as the wind shifted and brought a scent to their noses. Food. Short attention span or perhaps intentional avoidance to the topic, the girl would look back to the male as though expecting him to be all in for a hunt.

Aurek was fairly certain at this point that this girl was fucking with him. Oh yes, she was and he did not like being fucked - at least involuntarily. The pale boy was trying to think of ways to get back at her, but she had such an upperhand in trolling him that he had no idea how to throw a comeback at her. At least, this was what he was convinced of. "You weird.." -He muttered under his breath while she stepped aside as if lost in her thoughts and then suddenly lifted her gaze up. He took a moment to understand what that look propably meant, but as he wondered - and only now noticed faintest of deer scent in the air, he realized she was asking him to join for a hunt.

Fuck no! Aurek almost audiably worded that, instead letting out a loud hmpff. He was still butthurt for being scared like this and further for her refusal to even speak to him like a decent wolf should. Out of spite and perhaps in attempt to get back at her, Aurek now himself begin to behave strangely; he turned his back to the girl and just stood there silent. Was he protesting? Did he want her to go away? Was he planning some mischief to play on her expence? Aurek made no real indications as to what his next move would be.

The male was uninterested in this, turning his back on the female and simply standing there. In the past, this would have been of no issue for the girl and actually a good thing. She would have run off to catch a meal for herself, not even bothering with him. But that was not the possibility now. She had been tainted since that Elite first escorted her, spreading those foul things called emotion. Curiosity was developing in this being, making her do things that would not have been a consideration before. And it was confusing, trying to figure them out. Figuring how to apply them to her daily activities.

And so she would turn back around, body twisting till she was facing his rear. Lids pulled together in the smallest of actions, exhaling heavily but quietly and allowing her hot breath to caress the midsection of the male's tail. Had he not been taller then it would have surely run up his spine. She would not move, would not circle or even leave him behind. Simply, she just stood there watching and waiting. Patience was a skill she earned long ago, able to stand for hours while watching her targets. She had time for this.

PP approved by master sock. Feel free to PP in turn. >:D

Hnngghhhhh! The girl did not get the hint but instead just stood there - uncomfortably close to Aurek's butt. The pale boy was trying to outlast the strange girl in silent treatement but the way she just stood there, so close to him, breathing and not doing anything else was rapidly getting under the boy's skin. She was not only creepy but excessively annoying.

The pale boy had much shorter fuse than what she propably had and there was no way he was going to stand here silently for hours while she would breath into his backside. If he had been afraid of her moments before, now he was starting to grow annoyed to the point that he wanted to simply chase her off - make her leave him alone. As Aurek felt her breath on his tail again, he suddenly snarled and swung around, intending to snap her into the muzzle. "ENOUGH!"

...

..

The pale boy suddenly jolted as he felt cold surface against his backside. He had no idea how or when it had even happen but he realized he was laying on the ground on his back and it was... difficult to breathe. He could not breathe! He flailed, struggled in panic, feeling how her jaws were tightening around his throat, the strange female tightly latched onto him. More Aurek struggled, harder it came for him to gain air and the boy whimpered in fear and panic, realizing she could easily kill him. He tried to submit to her, both word it and show it but he could barely utter a word. "..I...ggvv.."
