Malleah


Six - Loner - Unattached

"'Tis the wind, and nothing more."

Life would be much simpler if she merely gave up her stinging pride and joined a pack but Malleah didn't want to need them. But didn't she need someone else always to help take care of her? Perhaps not, but she always strove to find someone who would. It was easier that way. Easy was always one of her favored things. No need for all this driven drivel that Solitaire believes in. Let him go home and prove himself if he must but Malleah only needed to prove to herself for now. Later maybe she might worry what others thought but she was already six and if she didn't care now then it likely wasn't going to happen. Just as long as Mallum and Taji were around she would be alright.

It is with a mischievous spirit that she eyes the male before her. So timid he is but gentlemanly in his own way, nothing at all like the males she normally takes up with. They are all brawn and brutish actions, usually with that sly smile and those twinkling eyes that hold secret desires. Her presence with him might abrade his sense of hope so it was likely a good thing that he would not stay with her and besides, if he was as kind as he is now forever she wasn't sure she could handle it. Malleah has a thing, you see, for bad boys and some bad behavior. That could also be a reason why she did not want to find a pack. Such behavior, wanton as many called it, would be frowned upon.

The moment she jests with him it seems as if he recoils from her. Her jaw parts on a lilting laugh as she blinks at him with crinkled eyes, laughter rumbling within her chest as her tail sweeps the ground repeatedly. That look! Priceless! He was quick to try and assure her that he did not mean his words in such a sexual connotation and she finally cannot help it, stretching her forelegs out until she sinks onto her belly with loud guffaws echoing in the cavern and covering her eyes with one slim paw. "I know," she gasps out in her amusement before peeking out with shining eyes at him.

"I am sorry. I just.. I could not help it," she giggles some more, grinning up at him. "Forgive me please Solitaire, but I could not help myself!"
