The game that played between them was something far more than mere cat and mouse. There was toying to be sure, gentle prods here and vicious swipes there. Both parties wore the battered bodies of crimson trails left in the wake of dagger sharp words. Yet regardless how many raw emotions entwined them, still somehow the gods sought fit to toss them together again and again. The fire that burns in her dark eyes now as she stared back at him is a reminder of just what it was that had drawn him to her in the first place. Vanya. The spirited ballerina who always seemed to wield her silver tongue in just the right manner to bring her out on top. Time and again he had chased her. These rolling meadows hold testament to the games that they play and play still. She lifts her proud head in response to his blame and while part of him expects an immediate, flame-fueled response, strangely enough she is silent. Well, as silent as those burning eyes can be. He had won that round. At least, that is what he tells himself as they stand facing one another. Her dark eyes fuming and his multifaceted green pools glittering with unspent hunger. The lines of age might be beginning to leave their mark on his dark skin but his heart was far from beating its last. ’Bring her to me!’ again Titania’s voice hisses in the back of his mind, trying its best to chill the burn of passion that rises within his breast so close to his once-queen. Vanya is suspicious, as no doubt she should be. Part of him finds that fact endearing. Proof that they are more alike then either would ever care to admit to the other. However the beast within him growls it’s displeasure. It hated having to play the fox and rely on cunning to get its way. Her narrowed eyes and suspicious hum is almost enough to bring the caged creature roaring to the surface. How dare she act as if she planned to turn away, act as though he were some suspicious stranger instead of the stallion who had sired her children and coddled her close at night even when he found the task tedious. The dark hairs along his spine begin to rise in irritation and the muscles beneath his skin begin to tense as he readies himself to lunge forward and force her towards the desert. Yet just as he is about to unleash the wolf, her gaze softens and the venom in her voice disappears. The exotic little head of hers tilts towards him and he can almost feel her resistance loosen. This time, it is his turn to feel both suspicion and confusion. A single dial twitches amid the wind-knotted curls of his thick mane. Emerald eyes study her elegant face, searching the depths of those dark eyes for some sign as to what plans she held beneath. Yet as always, she holds her mask firmly in place. Now it is his turn to hum a gentle response, his own sharp words softening an octave as his broad head nods. ”She did.” he murmurs, his thick cream and caramel colored tail flicking idly against his hip as he switched his weight from one hind to the other. For a moment longer, silence holds between them. Her gaze unreadable. Finally, she speaks and even the wolf howls its pleasure. ’take me home.’ her words echo in his head and cause the roguish grin on his lips to broaden. She was his. He tilts his head back towards the beach, his saucer-like hooves shifting beneath him all too eager to be on the move before she decides to change her mind. Vanya was known for that. ”Come then.” he barks, his graveled tones fighting to hide away his energy. He does not tell her that they are bound for Salem or that the Desert was under his control. No doubt she would have an earful for him when she discovered that he had abandoned his claim on Atlantis. However that was a fight he would much rather have far away from the prying eyes and ears of strangers that would love to jump head first into their tit-for-tat game.
