Searching
Mismatched eyes scan over the land, peering from the darkness of the trees, only punctuated by the watery sunlight near the edges where the heavy grean leaves were more sparse. Catching a shimmering ray of this light, his eyes gleem slightly before the light fades as the sun slips back behind it's cloudy shroud. There were no new scents on the land, at least coming from the west with the wind. His black nose twitches slightly as he breaths in deeply, only the clean smell on on coming rain came on the breeze. it would be another hour maybe before the rains would come.
"Hmmph..good...more mud." His voice, in speaking to himself, is still full of the biting sarcasm that it would hold had he been talking to anyone else. The mud didn't bother him so much as the rain. It was wet and uncomfortable, and it made him feel sentimental, which bothered him more than the physical discomfort ten fold. His ears perked up, he shifts them to the side, listening for somone coming. They were downwind of him, so he hadn't smelled them coming before he had heard them. His dichromatic eyes flick backwards, his steps calm and fluid. Whoever it was would have smelt him by now, and if they meant him harm, they were on the packlands of the Stellar pack and would be delt with as soon as he raised an alarm.
If only he was less paranoid, perhaps others would find him more personable. If only he was less paranoid, he may be dead.

One day too late, i'm in hell
((*kicks myself for not fixing titles yet*))
Luna spotted the male before the wind brought her his scent. She thought to slink away so she wouldn't have to deal with him today. She'd had her fill of company. Silver eyes narrowed as he turned and spotted her. She cursed softly under her breath. "D@mn." With a soft sigh, she sat still, watching him. If he chose to approach her, she'd allow him to.
The cooling breeze ruffled her snowy pelt as she closed her siver eyes. Rain would come soon. With rain would come thunder and lightning. The storms she enjoyed, regardless of whether or not she was out in them. A brief smile played over her face as she recalled a meeting that had taken place in the rain. Too bad that wolf hadn't stayed. With an irritable scowl she opened her eyes again, narrowing them against the wind.
Beyond the reach of human range
Orexis took in another breath of the soft wind brought the scent of the Alpha to his nose. The contrasted wolf, as pale as he was dark, save she had no marrings on her snow like fur. His eyes stay on her a moment longer before raising his voice in a soft call in respect. He knows his place well enough to know that he owes her this respect. He doesn't know why she would be out here this far, while he was scouting, but he was in no place to question her motives. He pads gently towards her, listening behind him, knowing that she didn't really want company. It would only be a respectful visit, then he would get back to work.
"Hallo sai, how to your ken." His voice is soft and sweet, on a level that in a human would be considered handsome. But this is far beyond the concept of humans to understand. His bright eyes gleem slightly, as a far rumble of thunder sounded not too far away. He offers casually, "There'll be rain."

It's all out of reach..."There'll be rain." Rain. No sh*t, Orexis? She smiled tightly. "I certainly hope so, Orexis. Rain is good for the lands." She looked at his, assessing him again as she had in their first meeting. "Looks like the Stellar lands are good for you. Are you at home here?"
Yes, she'd make an effort to be friendly. She was the alphess, and he was the newest member of her pack. She owed it to him to be at least friendly. But being friendly and liking him was two different stories. She truely liked no male...but she'd tolerate him at least.
She smiled tightly again, then glanced up at the sky, where the clouds were beginning to darken with the promise of rain. An errant drop fell, striking the silvered fey on the nose. Absently, her tounge flipped out and licked the moisture droplet away. The cooling breeze picked up, bringing a distant rubmble of thunder with it.
There is joy, but also pain...
Orexis could practically hear the tightness hidden in her voice, but he put it past him. He had heard that she was moody, and often hostile towards males, but he didn't mind. To each his own, and he would leave her to her own.
"Yes ma'am. This place is nice and lush. There are other wolves and food aplenty. I have some sort of purpose here. Any place with a purpose will do one well." His tail sat placently between his hinds, his eyes blinking slowly as he speaks, his voice soft and calm. When several fat drops fall near him, one landing on the back of his neck, his eyes flash slightly, but he continues to watch Luna quietly.
The sweet scent of jasmine and honeysuckle seemed to permiate the area as the flowers opened wide for the moistness, eagerly. The scent made his nose quiver slightly, and he bows his head slightly, still watching her, but the scent seemed to blur his ability to catch other traces in the air. It bothered him.

And pain goes well with pleasure."Yes ma'am. This place is nice and lush. There are other wolves and food aplenty. I have some sort of purpose here. Any place with a purpose will do one well." "True words, Orexis. Well spoken." She favored him with a rare smile, then tilted her head up to let the occasional raindrop meet her face.
The rain was soothing to her. Unbidden, a memory came to mind. Golden eyes looked deeply into her own eyes. A warm voice spoke softly in her ear, ticking her highly sensitive senses. "Each raindrop is a kiss, my love. A kiss from me..." A gentle paw laid on hers, as he smiled slowly at her. Riushu...normally the name would invoke animosity, but today...today, his name invoked a tender melancholy. She felt more regretful that he left, than angry.
And pleasure is followed dutifully by sorrow
The smile made his spine tingle, and for some obtuse reason he felt grateful and returned it with one of his own, though the gesture felt incomplete, unequivalent. The single golden eye lights up when lightning cracks above them, the dark eye just absorbing the light as he blinks, watching his alphess welcome the rain. he felt that something profound was occuring that was beyond his grasp, that he could not possibly connect to. It made his spine twitch again.
The fat wet drops started to come down sporadically, then with more of a pattern, splattering on the ground with a soft shushing sound as it dissapeared into the soft earth. The drops that fell upon the leaves made soft crashing sounds, the life of the droplet ending in breif agony on the green of the forrest's stationary overloards. Soon enough of the spheres would find there way to the soft floor to churn it into a wet concoction of life and mineral, and that's what Orexis put his dislike into. Not the fact that he feel vunerable as a pup just breeched, of course not that.
Hesitant to speak when her face was turned up so, but wanting to distance himself from the threat of showing too much of himself, he speaks lowly, under the sound of the dying rain droplets. "Mistress... shall I leave you then and return to my duties?"

And it all comes back to the fear of being alone..."Mistress... shall I leave you then and return to my duties?" Luna started at the sound of the male's voice. Lost as she'd been in her memories, she'd forgotten his presence. Reopening her silver eyes, she looked at him, really seeing him for the first time. She studied him silently, her normal distaste for males absent.
"No...stay and talk with me for a while, Orexis." She offered hima friendly smile, accompanied by a brief tail wag, as thunder rolled quietly across the skies. Another cool breeze came by, ruffling her fur, and intensifying the floral smells that surrounded them. She allowed the pleasant fragrance to soothe her as she sat. "Tell me of your life before Stellar, Orexis."
