Use caution when the Wolf comes aknockin; Posted on October 23, 2020 at 10:14:56 AM by Rougaru
Rougaru watches the pale mare now as she tossed her small dished head. Those small perked ears bury beneath the thick curls of her sweeping mane as for the first time she peels her own lips back to bare her fangs at him. Despite himself, the chocolate colored stallion finds himself almost taken aback. Himena may be a feisty creature, a spitfire who clearly had no qualms with traveling across the world to find him, but never had she bared her teeth at him. For him yes, but not at him. Even when he had come crawling back to her all those many years ago in the land beyond the mountains, even when she had cursed his name over and over through the hours of labor that it took to bring their twins into the world, she had never bared her teeth at him.
A single step backwards is taken now as for the first time, he lets his gaze sweep over her. No longer is there desperation in her eyes, for some semblance of acceptance or adoration. No more does she show the anger and pain that his betrayal must have burrowed deep into her soul. Even when first she had come to the islands in search of him, the pain had shown bright as the pale silver hairs on her skin. Now… now that pain was gone. At least, gone from her eyes and actions. A single brow raises now as he meets her angry eyes. She snorts harshly at him, her tones clipped and venomous as she describes her newest lover. Despite himself, dark ears fall backwards amid the tangle of wind-tattered locks as the truth of her words stab at the jagged edges of his stone heart. The wolf forces the mask of indifference upon his face, fighting away the flash of hurt in his green eyes and replacing it instead with the feral gold of the beast. ”Good for you Himena.” he murmurs, finally a voice finding purchase in his lungs.
He takes a step forward, intent on leaving her once more behind as he continued on with the border patrols. That is, until she growls at him again. This time, the wolf lunges. Swift as a snake he turns back to her, thick cream and caramel colored tail lashing angrily against thickly muscled haunches. ”What is it that you are trying to imply Himena? What is your real purpose here? Valka ensured your freedom from here should you wish it… I promised to honor that…” he began, taking a step towards her to bring his broad muzzle inches from her own once more. ”Don’t bite off more than you can chew. I might just resend the agreement.” he growls.
