Jealousy - Or Perhaps Just Desire (Open)

[cptkickercutleg]

Graal's hard heart melts as Midnight softly nuzzles the druins' chins.
"Oh Mi-" he begins, before she jumps away, towards a low hanging branch, hanging on with her teeth and flailing.
Graal steps forward, raising his voice above the racket of leaves. "Midnight! Stop!" he yells, not sure if she can hear him.
Creeeeaaaaaaaaa-CRACK!
The treebranch explodes at its base, making the older wolf jump as Midnight plummets to the ground, the branch following her.
"That's danger-!"
She still couldn't hear him, shaking the branch violently until apples rained down from it.
Thud, thud, thud.
It was a sorry sight to see, this mere girl begging for forgiveness from these giants, and her gift had backfired.
That was the last straw.

Graal quietly steps up to Midnight's offering to the Druin, gently picking up a single apple, stepping closer to her and setting it between her front paws before licking her muzzle.
"You deserve a gift as well Midnight. You've learned your lesson, I forgive you, Thunder forgives you." he says, eyes gazing into hers for a moment.
"I never meant to hurt you my dear sister... I'm sorry if I upset you, but you scared me..." he whispers, resting his chin atop her head, pulling her into his warm chest.
"I was so scared of losing you..." he mutters, just loud enough for her alone to hear.
"Come on, sister, let's go home..."
He prods the tiny wolf towards the bridge, rushing water filling their ears.
"Thunder has already gone, do you want to see if we can catch up?"

(( Fixed, deleting my previous OOC posts, I suggest you do the same as to reduce the amount of space taken ))

[Midnight]

Midnight picked up the apple in her jaws. Replieing((sp? >.<) to his question about catching up, she said, "No, that's ok, she's too far away. I just kinda want to go home."

((Sorry to hear it. D:))

(Thunder's gone, far far away sorry. I'm done with this thread.)

She glanced at Drexyll, briefly. If he thought so. Out loud she only said, "Thank you," and released a small sigh. What a day... it was amazing to her how it could turn from one thing to something entirely different. Oh well. She put it from her mind, to an extent.

She held herself proudly, staring into the distance. No, she didn't think the loners would return. It was mostly for good measure. Plus, she was somewhat tired all of a sudden and didn't feel like walking all the way back right this second. She didn't show that though.

"I appreciate you sticking your neck out for me earlier. You have much loyalty which hasn't gone unnoticed."

[Oki]

Drexyll began to space and unfocus his mind, staring at the fog covered bridge. His body became relaxed for the first time in a while. Inhaling and exhaling deeply, he felt better now this was all over with. He heard Masca's voice and it brought him back. Turning his head over to her, he was finally happy and didn't have to worry anymore, "You're very welcome, Princess", he smiled.

The two of them sat there, still like statues as if guarding the entrance into Giaku. He mostly stayed because she was still here. He hoped that he wasn't bothering her to any extent. Though he had to admit, it was peaceful.

Oh, yes. He kinda did go on the defensive. Slight embarrassment came over him, remembering what happened as a result, "Of course...But I hope you don't think less of me because of the following reaction of mine....I've never had so much viciousness come over me, especially for the sake of another. I wish I would have continued, I really do", he explained. He hoped she understood.

(( Graal is gone, so I'm out of the thread now :3 ))

[Relairah]

She shrugged at his saying he hoped she didn't think less of him. In truth, she would say he was completely justified, and she admired that he had shown restraint. She knew of many others who on the first hint of insolence, would have killed first, asked questions later. "Hardly," she responded.

After a short time, she realized she was getting over the whole incident and was ready to get on with her life. Pesky loners. She released a soft huff and rose, shaking out herself before turning back toward Giaku's heart. Time to leave these lonely borders.

Drexyll could do as she wished. But she glanced back at him and gave a slight smile, before her face returned to its normal state. "Perhaps we'll see each other around." And with that, and a flick of her tail, she was off once more.

[Oki]

Drexyll was almost desperate for Masca's empathy and approval of his actions at this point. Inside, he was willing her what to say, as if that would change anything. While on the outside, he remained calm, albeit having an anxious look in his eyes. Her answer came and it was relieving. She really didn't think less of him when he backed off when he thought he should have caused damage...that's how every other male would have reacted and would have followed through.

More time passed, as did silence. Abruptly then, Mascamora rose and turned to head back, though didn't leave just yet. Blinking, he turned his head and found himself staring as they looked at each other. Did she just smile at me?, he thought to himself. It was gone as quick as it came. Blinking a few more times, he felt his cheeks slightly flush and continued to look at her with his mouth open a little as she bit him farewell, in hopes that they may meet again. Reflexively, he gave a sharp nod of his head and an "Uh-huh", escaped his gaping mouth, he watched her walk off. He sure hoped they did. Eyes watched the flick of her tail and the sway of her hips as she returned into the forest. Feeling himself hypnotized, Drexyll finally came too and it was silent again. Looking around, Masca was gone. "Did I...Yes, I did..., he muttered to himself, hardly believing it. Though before too long, a wide grin spread across his face and bolted away to go home. The next day he would get to see Masca couldn't be too soon, he almost wished away the days until he could.

((And that wraps up this thread!...Oh boy, can't wait to see what happens with Drex and Masa ;D))
