Dream State {Sinister}

Hephaestus

The Spring had just arrived to the lands, flowers bloomed and buds created new life on vegetation. Animals flourished now more than ever, they were popping up everywhere and the hostility between predators was at ease once more. The fellow had traveled down from the North which is where he spent most of his time, the white blanket and frozen atmosphere made him feel alive unlike the other areas. Grand paws pressed into the fresh grasses, feeling the warm Earth beneath him. Each stride was more like a waltz, sauntering through the terrain. The male was certainly in no rush and completely relaxed, without a care in the universe. Nostrils inhaled deeply pulling in the fresh air, detecting scents and arranging them between friend and fiend. Tail flicked back and forth lazily as he came closer and closer to the bank.

Ears listening to the sounds of the world ringing intently in his eardrums, some noises he picked up a bit better than others due to his flaw. Intense tangerine eyes gazed at the scenery and fresh life before him, the left eye completely useless while his right was fair. It became hazy during darkness or very bright light though during mid-day it was just as any other eye. Hephaestus was quite curious to find something to amuse himself, the world was at his demise. The gentleman was on the hunt for something, the insatiable want to find something or someone. Finally the male had arrived at the water's edge, lowering his neck as his large skull reached the surface. Lips parted as the salmon colored tongue lapped the cool water, as his senses stayed alert to the world. Hephaestus was not easily ambushed, the male had a overpowering urge to constantly watch his back.

As the male quenched his thirst the male did not raise his head, keeping it lowered he noted others that were within proximity. Small rodents and such meandering around, no use or interest in such. Hephaestus was waiting for something more interesting, more enticing. Tongue slowly drew over his lips and chin clearing any droplets of liquid from his muzzle, watching and waiting ever so patiently. Tail swished a bit more violent as he awaited another to come wandering in, to catch his attention and draw him in. Though the fellow had to pray it was something worth his while, nothing simple and deprived of life. It could be a horrid process waiting for hours or minutes, though the devil had no problem in how long it took. A sly grin appeared over his lips, as he continued to pass time.

et me see you -- stripped down to the bone ;; let me hear you speaking just for me- let me hear you crying just for me

It was not a dark intent that brought Sin here, moving lithely across the thicket of fresh foliage. Spring brought a new vigour to the lands; an added freshness. The queen had always found spring to be most pleasant, for the wintering lands were too cold for her thin frame- and the summer could be unbearably hot. So the cool air appeased the dame the most. While Sinister moved, she was quick and almost silent- a trained calculated step. The lake was out in the open; she couldn't risk having a dangerous encounter with another- especially since she was useless in a fight.

That is when her nostrils took in a scent, an aroma of most familiarity; her own species. The dulcet smell was soothing for a moment- it had been forever since the vixen had encountered another wolf. Although she craved another voice, Sinis refused to instigate a potential hostile situation. That is when the wolf appeared, close enough that Sinister could feel her entirety tense. The male- for what she assumed due to his stature; appeared to be russet in paint. She tilted her head, observing his cranium as it dipped to sample the lake. That was the kind of wolf who need not worry- he could snap any extruder in half if needed be. But watching him drink brought back not only the craving for water; but a voice. Sneakily, Sinis moved outward, clearing a path in the thicket incase the need to flee became needed.

With her escape well mapped, Sinister stepped out of her cover, tensely at first- unsure. Her ears pinned downward, mouth pulled back. Mind if I join you? Her voice was not pleasant, not inviting; it didn't need to be, Sin didn't know him at all. Whether or not he agreed, she continued to walk forward until she dipped and drank hungrily from the water, sating what had felt like an endless thirst.

Hephaestus

                 It had not been long before another came along, her perfume wafting through the Spring breeze like a butterfly.  Oh how it was intoxicating how she drew him in without even realizing it, soon he heard paw steps bringing the beauty closer and closer. The lady approached quite boldly, as she spoke the words were not friendly and yet not aggressive either, Hephaestus was certainly amused. "Why on Earth would I mind to sharing a drink with a tantalizing female as yourself.." His voice was deep, baritones like thunder rolling from his tongue. Nostrils flared as he took in her aroma once more remembering it for future use if need be. Skull rose at this point and he turned to look at the female, her frame slender and elegant the complete opposite of him. The fellow knew most noted his left eye immediately, yet he cared not of what any thought about it.

Tangerine eyes followed her form, greedily taking any physical attribute in that he could. Oh, she was a looker and the eyes of diamond blue were enchanting indeed. "Tell me deary for one so delicate you hold no fear, why is that?" The male would remain charming for now until his thoughts formed into blurted blunt remarks. It was almost a disease some would say, no filter and all honesty. Though some appreciated it and some were disgusted by the way he spoke, yet once again Hephaestus was who he was and held no care in the world. Ears twitched listening once more to the sounds around them while also focusing on the lady for her monotone voice, curious to see if it would alter with his previous remark and question. A grin slid across his muzzle slowly and into a wicked state.

Tilting his large skull slightly he awaited the lady's response, watching her quickly quench her thirst. Hep was amused with almost any creature and of course wolves were his number one specimen, watching and listening to anything as he tried to figure out the way they worked. Now for the moment it was a toss up if the lady would stay or flee, if she truly wanted company or just a drink. Either way the devil would find out as much as he could, interested to see if the doll would stay for a little chat. Thoughts whirled in his mind, as he bit his tongue to allow the lady some time to respond before straightforward thoughts came bursting through. Tail flicked calmly as the male had found something certainly worth his while and could only hope she would stay for him to learn just a bit more, get just a bit deeper in her mind.
