Ayakai | F | M: Honeydew The peryton flinched as a twig below crackled. She stared down below, her thickly lashed eyes scanning the forest floor. She tensed, wanting to soar down and explore, but she hesitated. She saw no movement whatsoever. Finally, her curiosity got the best of her. Slowly, she stood, gliding down and landing gently with a soft thump. She looked around, sniffing deeply. She smelled the normal forest smell; rotting logs, fresh soil, some small animal feces... But she caught a whiff of something else. Something strangely familiar, but also new and different. Something exciting. She trotted towards the smell, keeping her eyes open as her eyes and ears swiveled around, making sure nothing was following her.
She came to a small wall of baby trees. She pushed through, using her head to spread apart the bendy trunks. All of a sudden, her hoof got caught on a rogue branch, and she stumbled forward, falling into the open. She caught herself, and looked up quickly, before seeing the back end of a doe, and Ayakai felt her breath catch in her throat. She was a gorgeous doe, with honey fur dripping down and merging into a soft white on her belly. Ayakai could faintly see splotches of that same beautiful honey and white along her sides. Her graceful neck was curved down slightly, her ears straight up in the air and her long, fluffy tail held up high. Ayakai kept still, her green eyes wide as she stared up at the beautiful female.

Honeydew | F | M: Ayakai . . . Honey heard bushes rustling and a not so soft thump behind her. She froze as if stuck in headlights, waiting for the creature to pounce and kill her, but nothing came. She risked turning her head to the side and a glance behind her. Her honey colored eyes widened a bit at the sight. It was a creature she had heard tales of and very rarely seen. Certainly not up this close. She was a blueish-grey that reminded her of the sky when thunder clouds hid it. The doe gazed at the Perytons wings. She was sure they were longer then herself. And they looked incredibly soft. Something made her want to touch them, to see if they were really as soft as they looked. But what drew her the most was the Perytons eyes. She'd never seen such a beautiful shade. She stayed like that for what seemed like forever, not knowing was to do or say. Finally, Honeydew blinked once and her body started to move again. She turned around to fully face the other and deciding she wouldn't be threatened, offered her one of her wide eyes + head tilt smiles. She wanted to say hello, or do something, but couldn't bring herself to. |

Ayakai | F | M: Honeydew The peryton popped up, pushing herself up with the air produced by a strong flap of her wings, which caused some fallen leaves to fly up in the air. She stared at the doe, who tilted her head and widened her beautiful honey eyes. Ayakai stuttered, backing away slightly, her claws raking against the ground, wingtips brushing the grass. "H-hello," she said quietly, tilting her head to the side slightly. All of her focus was on the doe in front of her; she couldn't pry her eyes away. There was something blossoming in her chest, but she couldn't quite grasp it. It was something she had never felt before. The Brothers | M | M: Each other, the herd Atticus let out a stream of curses as he stepped on a rather large twig, causing it to crackle and send the herd he and his brother had been tracking to bolt in the opposite direction. He straightened, grumbling as he shouldered his bow, stepping out from behind the bushes he was crouching behind. His brother's head appeared, looking calm but also a bit apprehensive; Niko knew how Atticus got when he was upset. The older and larger man stepped out beside Atticus, placing his hand delicately on his shoulder. "It's alright, Atti. Everyone makes mistakes," he said softly but cheerfully. Atticus shrugged his hand off, ignoring him. "Two days we've been following them, and every single time I lose them," Atticus shouted, stomping his foot and kicking at a bush. He clenched his fists, turning to look at Niko. His venomous voice was full of jealousy. "How the hell do you do it?" Niko hesitated, opening his mouth before closing it again. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly. "I dunno. It's kinda second nature for me. C'mon, let's follow them," he said, walking past Atticus and disappearing into the wood, letting his enhanced sense of smell and hearing lead him. Atticus paused, before clenching his fists and taking a deep breath. After a moment, exhaled through his nose. Hot tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to spill over, but Atticus violently wiped them away before they could. He ripped his bow off of his shoulder, and followed after Niko, muttering darkly to himself all the way. |

Honeydew | F | M: Ayakai . . . She watched the other go up with a large flap of her wings, which caused a few fallen leaves to swirl in the air, and her (Honeydews) ears went slightly back with the sudden woosh of air. When the Peryton backed away, Honey made a face that resembled somewhat of a frown, thinking she'd done something wrong. "Sorry.." She mumbled, looking down at the grass but quickly lifting them to glance at the Peryton. "Hi," She blinked "what's- what's your name?" The doe felt like a fawn making new friends, but she didn't mind. She just wanted to know more about the other. . . . Clementine | F | M: The Herd, Brothers (ind.), Honeydew (ind.) . . . A fae crouched low in the bushes, trying her best to cover her vibrant orange pelt. She raised her snout a bit to sniff the air and make sure she was in the correct position, then looked around to spot the deer she was aiming for. It was laying on a small section of leaves with it's eyes half-closed and resting. She grinned, a little bit of honey trickling from the gash that extended her lip, triggering her tongue to slip out lick it off. She then focused back on the resting deer and wriggled her hindquarters, placing her hind and front legs into a suitable position to pounce out and rush towards it. The fae was literally a second from pouncing when her audits detected a branch snap and the bear-like warning call of a stag and her head snapped to face it. When she focused back on the previously laying deer, it was far away and running with the herd into the forest. She looked around for a bit to see if any deer were left behind, but of course there weren't. In the process, a quick flash of white caught her eye and she watched it for a bit. It was a piebald doe, a rare thing the canine barely saw. Her attention slowly drifted away from the herd and realization set in. Two damn days wasted. F*CKING HELL. I will murder the ass who scared them. She growled, ripping a small branch from the bush and biting it in two, small tears forming in the back of her eyes. She quickly blinked them away and jumped out of the bush into the sun, her pelt now very clearly visible. The swirls on her stomach and back seemed to move as she did. The orange wolf wandered in a circle, her nose in the air trying to track scents that differed from deer droppings and deer until she finally picked it up. Her already extremely wide pupils dilated even more. Oh f*ck. |

Ayakai | F | M: Honeydew She straightened, folding her wings loosely, still a bit nervous. When she was nervous, she wanted to bolt, but something kept her tethered to the spot. Her tail feathers flared, curving up slightly as she tilted her head curiously, her eyes drifting over the doe's pelt. She couldn't get over how pretty she was... She cleared her throat nervously, shifting her wings. She was strangely itchy. Probably shouldn't mention that to her. "I'm Ayakai," she said, lightly pawing at the ground. She mumbled under her breath, "It's kind of a stupid name..." Looking back up, she tilted her head slightly. "What's yours?" The Brothers | M | M: Each other When Atticus finally caught up with his older brother, he found him crousched low to the ground, examining the forest floor. Atticus squinted to where Niko was looking, and with a flat voice, said plainly, "What are you looking at?" Niko glanced over his shoulder at his brother, a bit startled, as if he hadn't heard him approaching. But as quick as it had appeared, his startled expression shifted into his teacher face. God, Atticus hated that face. It usually came before one of Niko's signature lectures. "I'm examining these tracks. Do you see them? There's the base, and the tip of the hoof," he said, tracing the air above the imprint. It was very faint, and Atticus could just barely see it. "Yeah? So what?" Niko sighed. "It means that our prey went this way. This is extremely fresh. There's another pair of tracks a bit further away like the deer was sprinting." Atticus felt his brain click. And then he felt stupid. "Right. So we go this way. Big deal," he grumbled, pushing past Niko, who had stood up and towered over his brother. The darker-haired man watched his brother passed, before rubbing his head in exasperation. Sometimes Atticus was so difficult. As they walked, pausing every so often to search for tracks and sniffing the air, they reached the edge of a small clearing. They hunkered down, Atticus glaring ahead. The shadows covered half of the clearing, and it was rather dark, but Niko spotted a flash of white. He bumped his arm against Atticus's and nodded in the direction he saw the flash. Atticus scowled at Niko, before looking where his brother gestured. Almost completely hidden by the shrubs on the other side of the clearing was a doe, staring into the brambles. Every so often, her head would tilt or her ears would flatten. Slowly, Atticus reached for his bow, but Niko stopped him, earning yet another scowl. "Wait, Atti. She's looking at something. Notice the way her eyes are focused on those bushes? They must be shielding something from us. We'll have to split up and sneak around the side of each, diagonally. That way, we stay hidden and we can both get clear shots." Atticus, silent, nodded, before moving to the left. It appeared he chose the honey deer to hunt. Niko snuck to the right, making sure to stay in the bushes.. |

Honeydew | F | M: Ayakai . . .
Just now did Honeydew notice the tail feathers the other had, and she studied them for a second then looked back down at the grass "Ayakai? I think it suits you, and it's quite unique compared to mine." The doe looked up at Ayakai and her nose twitched a bit, her hooves gently shuffling.
"I'm Honeydew." Clementine | F | M: The Brothers, Doe
. . . She had picked up the scent of werewolves and of course by nature, any normal animal would have fled and tried to get as far away as possible in fear of being hunted, but she had also caught the scent of a lone doe, who perhaps couldn't get away with her herd or was stuck. Clem ignored the half-canines for now, as she would much rather have a fresh meal right now and would risk her chances with the werewolves later. She was large for a female anyway so she could at least attempt to take them on. She was getting distracted so she shook her head to clear the other scents in order for her to focus on the doe and started trotting very lightly towards the shadows and upwind so she wouldn't be noticeable. She spotted a dull honey colored doe, who was shinier than the rest, and somehow pretty. She was healthy. Good, Clementine was pleased with herself. The fae was now in a bramble bush near the doe's neck. With enough force she could make it in two jumps and kill her right then and there. Her maw was already wet with saliva at the thought of fresh meat in her jaws. She tucked her front and hind legs sort of under her to get a spring. She could already feel the adrenalin building up. 3.. 2.. The fae leapt out of the bush in a blur of yellow and orange, the brambles scratching her flank and her honey-blood making the fur sticky in the places she'd been cut, but she ignored it, her adrenalin too high to care at all. She hopped one, two more times and before the doe could even scatter, Clem had her jaws locked around her neck and cutting off her air supply. She could taste the blood already leaking from the bite and bit down harder, suffocating the doe who slowly dropped to the ground, dead. Clem held on for a bit and shook the deer violently before finally releasing her grip.
The orange canine stood there, staring at the bite mark, her flanks heaving and panting to calm down and catch her breath. She'd done it. She killed a deer. Her mind wasn't even on the half-canines anymore as she dug into the good parts of the doe, ripping the fur away carefully before ripping chunks off, blood scattering and mixing with her shades of orange. |

Ayakai | F | M: Honeydew Ayakai smiled softly, dropping her eyes and flattening her ears to her skull in embarrassment. "Thank you," she replied softly. "I think your name is quite pretty as well. I rather like honeydew. It's sweet." Ayakai smiled brightly, her slightly pointed teeth shining, remembering the leftovers some campers forgot one time. She took a step forward, sniffing lightly. She smelled like wet, earthy things, like moss and rotting leaves, and the crisp smell of rain in the fall. All of a sudden, Ayakai became very self-conscious. What did she smell like herself? She was probably covered in leaves and twigs. She swiftly turned her head to look at her body and stared in horror at herself. Sure enough, she was covered in the forest clutter. Even some burrs clung to her blueish-green pelt. She began to preen herself, much like a bird, lifting her wings one after another to clean the underside. Once she was satisfied, she was surrounded by her own feathers and leaves. She glanced sheepishly at Honeydew, pawing at the ground nervously. The Brothers | M | Clementine, Doe All of a sudden, an orange wolf darted out from the thickets, grabbing the doe by the neck. The doomed deer let out a terrified bleat as she tried to run away, but soon she was being dug into by the wolf. Both Niko and Atticus froze in place, staring in disbelief as they watched their prey slip through their claws yet again. Atticus's breathing began to quicken as his anger took over. Niko tried to get his attention, shaking his head violently, but it was too late; his brother was already halfway through shifting. Atticus charged at the orange she-wolf on all fours, letting out a roar. Despite his smaller size, he was still pretty terrifying when he was angry. "That was OURS!" he bellowed, tail lashing as he ran. Just as Atticus reached the orange wolf and was reaching out to grab her, something large and dark barreled into his side, slamming him into a tree. Atticus roared again, snapping at his attacker. "Atticus, STOP," Niko ordered, pinning his shoulders to the tree and preventing him from moving. Atticus let out an enraged howl, trying desperately to push his brother off, but he was much too weak. Instead, he settled for yelling at the wolf from across the clearing. "That was ours, you bastard! We were about to get her-!" All of a sudden, Atticus was cut off as Niko grabbed his snout and closed it shut, squeezing tightly. "That's enough," he said sternly. He glanced over his shoulder and grinned sheepishly at the stranger. "My apologies about him. But he is correct; we were hunting that doe first," he said kindly, pausing every now and again to stop Atticus from squirming away, his paws outstretched towards the wolf. |

Honeydew | F | M: Ayakai . . . The piebald felt a warmth wrap around her cheeks as Ayakai complimented her. "I do too, can't seem to find it anywhere anymore though." A disappointment look glazed her eyes but just as quick as it came, it was gone, replaced with adoration as she looked at the Peryton. Honeydew lifted one of her front legs when Ayakai stepped forward to sniff her, but realized there was no more danger. She watched in amusement as the female looked back at herself then quickly started to preen herself. It reminded Honey of the birds she watched when she was falling asleep. She herself stretched out her neck to sniff the female and her nostrils filled with a pleasant flowery smell, as if Ayakai had been living in a flower field all her life. She looked back up to find the Peryton staring at her and looked away, pretending to yawn, embarrassment surely turning the skin underneath her fur pink. Her eyes drifted to Ayakais wings and remembered her earlier though. "She has lovely wings. I want to touch them" Oh. My. Gosh. Had she said that out loud!? Clementine | F | M: The Brothers, Doe
. . . Clementine had just finished quite a bit of the dead does back leg when she saw a flash of sandy brown and looked up just in time to see something reach for her. She barely had just enough time to snap or panic when something else, a darker blur, came dashing out and knocked into the lighter brown blur, pinning a squirming sandy thing to the ground. She didn't even have time to process that when she heard yelling coming her way. She'd finally focused and sniffed the air when she realized it was the two werewolves she had caught scent of earlier. She stared at them with abnormally large, dilated pupils. The one squirming and yelling at her seemed only slightly smaller than her, but still terrifying in a way. She grinned. Clem liked him. Her eyes then drifted to the larger, assumingly older male who'd just said the doe she killed was theirs. Clem didn't speak for the first few minutes, simply made her way on top of the doe and lay down, eyes and ears fixated on the two males. She lay in a position where she could easily spring to the side or forward, to dodge or attack if she needed to, but she acted calm and collected. "First of all," She looked at the angry male "Don't call people bastard, bastard." Her voice sharp and eyes every so slightly narrowed "Second of all," She growled, looking up and into the face of the larger male "I killed it, so it's automatically mine. If ya couldn't kill it before me, pf well loves, that's not my problem. Mother should have taught you better." She sat up and ever so gracefully placed her tail over her paws, a very feline gesture. She licked her bloodied jaw and the honey dripping from the cuts on her legs. She then stood up and padded off the carcass, stopping dangerously close to the older male. "But I'm nice, so I might consider sharing if you tell the kid to stop throwing a tantrum." She glanced down at the sandy male, moving a paw up to stop him from grabbing her. She then turned, still having her audits fixated on them, sat back on the carcass, and continued nibbling the clumpy bits of sticky patches on her shoulder. |

Ayakai | F | M: Honeydew The peryton saw the honey doe look away, yawning slightly. Oh no. Was she bored? Was Ayakai being boring? Shoot. Ayakai flicked her ears back, thinking. What could she possibly do to make Honeydew like her? "She had lovely wings. I want to touch them." Ayakai reeled, blinking in confusion. What? She looked back to the doe and saw that she was rather startled as if she hadn't meant to say that out loud. A feeling like pride blossomed in Ayakai's chest, and she dipped her head, smiling softly. Glancing to the side, she unfolded one of her wings and held it out in front of her. She was so cute, being so embarrassed. Then again, if that happened to Ayakai, she'd be super embarrassed too. The Brothers | M | M: Clementine, Doe The werewolves sat in awkward silence for a minute, Atticus still trying to get away from Niko, as the stranger made her way to sit on top of the fallen doe. Then she spoke. "First of all, don't call people bastard, bastard." Atticus let out a low growl deep in his chest, and Niko glared warningly at him. He looked back at the wolf, nodding calmly. "Of course. I'm just saying that we were in the process of hunting. Our apologies," he said, looking back at Atticus, who was still shooting daggers at the wolf. When she mentioned their mother, however, both Atticus and Niko flinched. As the she-wolf stood up once again, padding close. Atticus squirmed more violently, his tail lashing angrily. Niko, however, held his ground, looking down at the orange wolf. "But I'm nice, so I might consider sharing if you tell the kid to stop throwing a tantrum," she said calmly, looking condescendingly at Atticus. He made an enraged noise in his throat, still being prevented from talking. He tried to lunge at her, but Niko slammed him back into the tree, pinning his head against the rough bark. As Niko was focused on his brother, the she-wolf turned and walked back to the doe, continuing to eat. Atticus glared at her from the corner of his eye. Niko leaned close, speaking in a low voice. "Atticus. Do not make an enemy so quickly. She is letting us eat. Be quiet and just go along with it." Atticus glanced away from the she-wolf, furrowing his brow. "Got it?" There was a pause, and Atticus reluctantly nodded. Slowly, Niko let go of his brother, stepping back. Atticus wrenched his arm away, before making his way to the carcass. Niko followed, crouching beside his brother. Atticus refused to look up or even acknowledge the she-wolf, but Niko nodded kindly to her. "Thank you," he said. "I'm Niko, and this is my brother Atticus. What's your name? I haven't seen you in this part of the forest before." |
