The plains were massive in size. The wind an ever strong current. But if you ever wanted to know what flying felt, this place seemed to be the perfect spot. The rocks were high enough that she was able to perch upon one. Her neck outstretched as she took in the haze of the cloudy sky and the ever quick winds.
Zaynah had her eyes closed as she enjoyed the feeling she was receiving. Fur of white and green mixtures danced and played in the wind. Usually she was on duty,but luckily she was able to escape her pride for a few hours to relax and enjoy, a luxury she rarely allowed herself. And when she was able to do it, this was usually the perfect way to thoroughly enjoy it. [/color][/size] |

Thanatos had taken to daily flights in the large windy planes and it seemed that this was one of the best part of his day. His broad wings flared open as he caught a stream of air, rising up quickly and shooting him towards the sky. His eyes closed momentarily, the swirling blue and orange hidden from view until his golden lids opened. The thick fur that adorned his body rustled in the heavy wind and his dark wings shuddered as another gust of wind battered against them. He pulled the dark feathers close to his body as he dove head first towards the ground. He adored the plains and had even debated starting his own pack here, requesting the land from Lacrimosa.
His wings flared out as the ground rushed to him and when his feet finally touched a loud thud shook the ground. Ahead of him was a cluster of rocks and a figure that he hadn't seen here before. Striding forward with an easy loping gait that betrayed his youth Thanatos grinned as he approached. Being a rather friendly being he didn't think to express caution nor did he care to. He was his mothers son afterall. |

It was a strong scent that reached her nose and Zay waited for a moment for it to pass. But it never did. Soon her eyes were opening, revealing a deep green rounded with a gold color. She stayed still, letting the natural camfaluge ability seep in. But the white portion of her body stood out greatly. Eyes scanned the area, looking and searching. Though it wasn't hard to see what approached her.
Her statue-esque head tilted only slightly,g iving the way she was something more than a rock. He was smiling toward her, acting as if they weren't strangers at all. But she inhaled and frowned. This was no normal Giaku wolf. Immediately she lowered her body to the ground, hunkering till her belly was touching the grass. Her gaze moved down, showing the higher up much respect.

Thanatos was used to the whole 'respect' thing and even though he had never personally encouraged it, fear of punishment caused most wolves under his status showed him as much respect as they did the Empress. He was a Noble, the son of a Prince and he did enjoy that title. He himself had never had to punish or force another to respect his title and because of this he was a bit more lax around others. He still held a smile as an eyebrow rose at her posture and he gave a lazy shake of his head. "Oh get up, you look stupid cowering there" He settled down on his haunches, enjoying the wind that blew his thick fur around his equally thick, long neck. His long ears were pressed against his head, not in aggression, but more to keep them from being whipped around.
The shiny white scales that lined his belly glinted in the sun as it peeked out from the quick moving clouds. He regarded the female carefully, she smelt of Giaku, but he hadn't ever seen her before. Then again there are many wolves in Giaku and while Thanatos was a social kinda guy, he didn't know all of them. "And what are you doing out here, all alone?" He was being nosy, he knew that, but part of him really didn't care. He pacified himself with the thought that he was a Noble, if he wanted to know something about a wolf, he had every right to know. |

Zay had been waiting for the command to get up. But she had not expected it in that way. She stilled and then glanced up at him, making sure she had heard him right. She frowned before doing as he had ordered though the movements were slow and unsure.
At his question she glanced around before looking toward him. 'I am a scout.' She informed softly, 'I'm making sure that none trespass.' Or if she saw strangers to report them immediately. This would forever be her job. But now she was confused, had she missed something important? [/color][/size] |

He noticed how she stilled, how she glanced up at his rather lazy words and couldn't help but smirk at her. Then she stated that he was a scout and for a moment he tried to go over the names of the scouts in his head. He couldn't remember any of their names, though a few slave names came to mind and he couldn't help the sly grin that slipped onto his face. Blinking for a moment he looked back at the smaller wolf and yawned, not trying to be rude, just feeling like he needed a nap. "I'm aware of what a scout does, I'm not unfamiliar with Giaku's ranks" His tone was harsh and biting, his facial expression becoming a bit cold. He didn't like feeling like an idiot, and her seemingly thoughtless remark offended him.
He had settled on his haunches before and now curled his rather long tail around his hand-like front paws, the sharp nails digging into the ground, as if that would keep him awake and banish his irritation away. "What is your name, Auscultre?" He frowned, though his face was still youthful, boyish and the frown looked off place, too harsh and cold against the soft gold and swirling blue/orange eyes. |

He had taken her remark in a way she hadn't intended and she instantly lowered herself to the ground, ready to ask for forgiveness. She made sure her eyes were averted, not looking up at him in case he saw it as defiance. She kept her tail wrapped tightly around her, waiting for him to continue on with the conversation. He asked her name and she did fear what would come of it. 'Zaynah.' She stated bowing her head. [/color][/size] |

Thanatos wanted to sigh, once again she was all submissive and while yes he had grown irritated with her he certainly wasn't the type that punished without due cause. Her irritating him wasn't due cause, it was a fact of life. Now, if she would have taken a snap at him, or been obnoxiously stupid, or mean, than he might exert some of his power over her. "Zaynah, why aren't you closer to home? " He rose an eyebrow, curious as to why a scout was this far out. While these lands did fall under Giaku's reign, they weren't as well scouted as the actual empire. Atleast that was what Than thought. "I'd also assume that it takes a bit more than laying on a rock to scout" There was a teasing note in his tones, though it was covered with gruff irritation. |

So ended that topic. Zay shifted slihtly, looking at the rock she was perched on before shrugging. 'I was making sure that nothing slipped in past weakened defenses.' And if she was spotted, she wanted them to know that this area was just as well guarded as the central hubs. 'As for laying down...' Well she had no excuse for that. She looked at it then to him. 'Please, I needed a rest. The sun was warm and I just needed to relax for a bit.' [/color][/size] |
