Moon Phase

The silver fae padded into her land, harks perked and nares fully alert. She had hoped Darkeyes had gotten away from the humans. But for now she was alone, and her exhausted bod fell to the earth. She had fought long and hard, and dserved some rest.

Darkeyes

White male trotted in, nursing a badly bruised side and a torn shoulder. He limped on his rear left from a grazing. He spotted the silver femme, and lay down close to her, careful not to disturb her. He could tell she was exhausted, and he was concerned. He would not surrender to sleep, but would guard her slumber til she woke. He lay snuggled close to her, and kept up a faithful watch, waiting for her to wake.

Moon Phase

The fae's nares twitched at the scent of blood, not fully realizing she was sleeping. BUt after a few moments of the smell not retreating her lids fluttered open, silver sphers falling upon hr injured packmate. With a slight whine she nuzzles him,, hoping he was not to badly injured. Again he proved to be touching her. Only a short time she had known him, and yet she fekt so close to him. It was uncany. "Darkeyes you fought bravly. I am most impressed. But are your injuries serious?" Her tones were genuinly concerned and she looked into his eyes with the same feeling.

Darkeyes

He startled a little as she spoke, not realizing she had woken, so intent was he on guarding. He nuzzled her back, and smiled a little. "I am well, Mother-one. They smart but a little, and will heal in time. And you? Are you whole and well?" He looked her over, a worried expression on his face.

Moon Phase

"Exhaustion... simply exhaustion. "
With a deep sigh she continued to nuzzle him, feeling safe near him. Her lids began to flutter shut once more, though she attempted to fight it. She knew he would stay awake is she found sleep. And it was he whom needed the rest, not her.

Darkeyes

Somehow, as though the two were linked, he managed to catch a glimpse of the line of her thoughts. He nuzzled her again, a friendly, reassuring touch, and rested his head on her shoulder. "I am fine, Mother-one. Truly. You are tired. Rest. I am fully awake, if hurt. Get your rest. I will get mine soon enough."

Moon Phase

The fae let a light sigh from rom her trap as he spoke. She felt somewhat bad, like she was keeping him up. She relly shouldn't be tired, she had stayed relitivly unharmed, and her packmate had been the one injured. Yet still as he spoke she fell silent, letting her lids close finally. Then before drifting off to sleep her voice could be heard softly. "You are... very sweet." And with that her dreams took over her mind, falling into the illusion filled place within her head.

Darkeyes

He smiled quietly a she finally surrendered to dreams. He stayed watchful, waiting for her to wake.

Moon Phase

After a few hours of rest the fae twitched abit, lids fluttering open at sunrise starting to take place. After a moment she turned, eyes looking to Darkeyes, her friend... But was that all he was? A friend? Was he just a good, loyal packmate? Or was he more? She had found it strange how calm she felt near him, yet she dared never question it. Could this be love? It was possible for the fae had never expirienced the feeling before for any other then a parental or maternal.

"Darkeyes?"

Her voice was soft, checking to see only if he was awake or not. If he did not stir, she would assume him sleeping and head off to catch a small bite ot eat. But if he did, she would stay, in order to let him rest his body.

Darkeyes

He smiled, hearing her wake, and looking her over to see if she felt better. He nuzzled her affectionately, and spoke softly. "I am here, Mother-one. Have you rested well?"

Moon Phase

"Ay"

Her tones were light and cheerful even for just awaking. And as he nuzzed her her lids closed, enjoying the moment. She stayed like thsi for abit before she looked at him, sighing lightly at his wounds. "Did sleep find you? Or has it suffered at my benifit?"

Darkeyes

"Suffered? On the contrary. I have kept my guard, but am not, at the moment, tired enough for sleep to find me. I have rested, in a sense, without sleep." He turned his head to groom away the blood, now dried on his coat, wincing only a little as his vision grew red and his shoulder screamed in protest. He simply grit his teeth and licked at it, attempting to rid himself of the unpleasant stench.

Moon Phase

She shook her dial slightly at his words, only half believing them. And as she saw his face at cleaning his woulds she whined abit, a silently appology for lettinh him join her. It had been funsure, but he had been injured. So now she lightly licked his cheek, looking him in the spheres for a moment. Did she truely acre for this male this much... or was this simple friendship? She was so confused at the moment.

Darkeyes

He heard the whine, and turned back to look her in the face, smiling. Again, he caught some of her thoughts, and ran his tongue over her cheek, shaking his head a little. "Ah, Mother-one. I am well, I promise you. I have enjoyed my exercise." And he smiled, letting his tongue loll out in a laugh. "My injuries are of mine own foolishness. I know better than to stand in front of a human with a fire-shaft. I was reckless. But hey!" And his eyes flashed in wild abandon, "Wasn't it fun?"

Moon Phase

Her dial lifted up hgher at his sudden gain of energy, a smile falling over her features as she nodded and let a little bit of laughter get past her vocals. "Fun deffinetly discribes it my friend. Deffiently does" As she spoke she looked to the riseing sun, squinting abit as she did so. Like the sun, she too would rise with a new brightness. She would get over her feeling of being sorry for her friend, and start feeling happy that hewas still alive to expirience life with her. Like the sun anf the moon, her life would revolve in the cycle. Strange how nature played such a part in the faes way of living.

Darkeyes

He smiled, and nuzzled her again, and then, getting up, suddenly tackled her, just like a pup, pinning her. He laughed, all of a sudden in a silly mood.

Moon Phase

The huntress smiled, but found herself rather surprised when she was pushed to the ground in a playful game of tag. With a return sly grin, she pushed Darkeyes off, leaping towards him, fores outstretched to push him to the earth below.

Darkeyes

He laughed again as he was pushed to the ground with force, rolling and coming up before charging back at her, forelegs extended to shove her over, and salmon tongue licking her ear playfully. This was fun!

Moon Phase

The silver duchess rolled a bit in play before her bod tensed and she stood up, bod facing the wind coming from the Ranch. Again? Her orbs showed her curiousity and concern, and one of her fores took a small step forward. Something wanted to pull her towards the area. She could smell more wolves gathering in the area, and she wanted to join once more. Before she could think through she turned to darkeyes and with a sollom expression spoke. "Take care of the pack and stay here" Her tones were authoritve, and yet there was a loving feeling within them. And with that she set off, peds moving swiftly as she left the land to aid.

Darkeyes

Darkeyes was concerned for his dear friend, seeing her leave so quickly, but habit forced him to obey. He lay down, guarding as instructed, hoping the moonlit femme would be okay.
