Do the sun and stars have...

Bailey let out a low growl as the other canine drew closer. His lips pulled back, just enough to reveal his teeth, once the male was close. His growl faltered for a moment, as he heard a strange sound come from the male before him. His ears twitched before he cocked his head in confusion. The smaller dog had never heard such a sound before, let alone from such a large dog. The odd noise came again, once more from the large black and grey male. That was when Bailey figured out what the sound was supposed to be. The other canid was trying to snarl at him. With a snort, the golden dog glared at the creature before him.

"What do you want?" He growled shortly. His voice was harsh, his tone irritable. Bailey hated the idea that the male thought he could be pushed from this kill, just because he was smaller. His pale eyes glittered with his anger as he held his place by the kill.

Who out there holds the key to...

Pebble struggled to get back onto her paws, wanting to ensure that the bear was gone for good. Another gasp, this one stifled in her determination, slid past her gritted teeth as the wound stretched with her muscles. After what felt like an eternity, the silver female stood up, her fur still bristled and her body tense in case she had to fight. "I told you to go. It's not safe for you to be taking on a bear alone." She spoke quickly, searching for the bear.

That's when she saw the others. Three more dogs fighting against the larger bear. While their attacks weren't as coordinated as the wolves of her pack, they still managed to take the bear down. Once the attention was no longer on it, the black bear rose to its paws before lumbering off as quickly as it could. The she-wolf knew that while it would be hurting for a little bit, the large beast would be fine. It had a thick hide and so it would recover soon. Probably a lot quicker than I will, she thought with an outward sigh. She could feel her pulse throbbing near the wound, dripping more blood from the wound. The scarlet would stain her pale coat for a little while, especially as she moved around and stretched the injured leg.

Her thoughts were interrupted when one of the dogs spoke. Ears pricked, Pebble looked at the dog who'd spoken before she glanced at the other canines. She'd never seen the smaller canines before and their differences intrigued her. Her dark brown eyes stared in wonder as she continued to watch the others, the gold within them glistening in the scattered rays of sunlight that broke through the canopy. However she remained silent toward the other female's question. One rule she remembered clearly from her life growing up in the pack was to never show weakness, especially if you didn't know who your allies or enemies were.

...opening my heart to the wonders of love?

( I have a bit of writer's block on Murphi xD )

Riptide

Running from fear,

Riptide's head rattled with the words from the smaller male. "What do you want?" This golden animal expected him to answer, let alone speak? No way would he be able to push the words out of him, he didn't want to be humiliated even more. He was afraid the canine would fall over laughing the moment Riptide spoke. But would he? His icy eyes grazed the slayed animal's body once more, and a shot of pain grew in his stomach just at the sight of it. Under all that thick black and grey fur, Riptide was painfully thin. Would I speak to get that meat into my mouth? He thought, looking once again from the dog to the deer. The wafting smell of blood caught in his nose, and he opened his jaws. "What do you need to know? The answer is right in front of you." His raspy, thin, shuddering voice seemed to carry away in the wind while he spoke.

Never really works.

Murphi

I am flawed,

Murphi looked up into the eyes of a pretty border collie, her own wispy fur dancing as a breeze passed by. Her head tilted slightly to the left, just so she could get a better look at the female. "I-I am fine," she murmured, stumbling a bit over her words. Her mind was cluttered and mixed up with other things from the brief fight. For some odd reason, this reminded her of when her eyesight in her left eye and hearing in her left ear was burned away from a forest fire. The one that wiped out the rest of her family. "Thank you very much."

But that's okay.

Do the sun and stars have...

Bailey saw the hesitation in the other male's face. He wondered why the male had come over so calmly, when the smaller male had obviously shown his dislike from the getgo. Then the male opened his maw and spoke. Bailey could only guess that his voice was the only reason for the larger canine's reluctance. The retriever had to strain forward to hear the male's soft voice.

"Speak up," he grunted. Despite being hard to hear, the other dog's meaning was clear. He wanted to eat from the kill as well. Bailey flicked an ear, glancing at the nearly complete carcass. There was more than enough...It's just that he didn't trust others and knew sleeping and eating were the times when one is most vulnerable. And because he was so hungry, once he lost himself to filling his stomach completely he'd forget about his surroundings. The perfect time for another to get him out of the way...

"Fine," he finally ground out. His light fur settled along his spine and hackles before he took a step back to let the other male reach the soft underbelly of the deer.

Riptide

Running from fear,

Riptide's ears flickered back slightly, in both anger and fear. There was hardly any way he could speak up, unless he howled of course. His eyes brightened, and the sternness set in the mask of his face eased as he was allowed to take his share of the meat. Fresh saliva coated the inside of his maw, frothy drool beginning to form on his lips. Two slow steps forward. Then two more. He was still cautious of the male, and questions were forming in his mind. Who are you? Where are you from? What brought you here? These words jumbled and jangled up inside his brain as he pawed closer. Finally, Riptide's hunger got the best of him, and he lunged for the meat. With one swift motion, his long fangs had flashed, tearing off a large portion of the carcass, before retreating back a few steps. He lay down, comfortable now with the meat held firmly between his paws. His dark eyes stayed glued to the golden male while he gnawed and chewed. "What's your name?" Riptide rasped, lifting his head with a now blood-dyed muzzle, before diving back into his meal.

Never really works.

Bailey stayed where he was, giving the other male space to eat. He watched as the black dog paused every couple of steps. The smaller canine let out a small huff through his nose, as if in approval of the male's caution. Just like I am, he thought sullenly. As the thought filtered through, the larger dog leapt upon the carcass, tearing a large chunk away to eat. Once he was settled down a few feet from the fallen deer, the male tore into his portion.

Bailey had just stepped up to resume his eating when a voice brought his head back up. It was the same light, rasping voice as before. Closing his maw, he glanced over at the dark dog. "It's custom to introduce yourself first. Better manners or something," the golden dog growled softly. It wasn't in any threatening manner, he just wanted to eat in peace.

( Don't take Riptide's explosion the wrong way, I just wanted to show some of that anger inside him :3 )

Riptide

Running from fear,

Riptide paused his consuming of the deer, his eyes now narrowing. It's not like we're at a meeting, we're out in the wild. If you ask a bear what his name is, he won't answer with something about the way you use properness, he'll most likely rip you to peices, his angered mind thought. But on the outside, he'd stood up, enragement threatening to explode. "Better manners?" He growled slowly. Of course, his words weren't perfect - there was a rattle to them - but they were much louder, though Riptide managed to hold his voice down. "Better manners? Let me tell you something, dog. Where I come from, where almost every animal in these woods come from, there were no manners. Some might have entered when they were tossed away from their familys, some might have always been outcasts, and they came here, hoping to fit in. And some just might have not been born right, and were left to die in this forest." By now, Riptide's voice had risen, and he was nearly howling at the golden male."Out here, there are no manners. Out here, it's either eat or be eaten. I hope you choose the right option." Grabbing the meat in his jaws, he turned and ran into the trees, silently hoping the male would follow, and silently hoping otherwise.

Never really works.

[wolfpuppies]

[Nah it's good. Bailey isn't the friendliest dog either, so I completely understand. Gah. Indecision as to whether to follow or not >.<"]

Do the sun and stars have...

Bailey started some, when the dog responded angrily to his comment. His head lowered and his tail raised, hair rising along his spine and hackles. The small dog didn't like the threat underlying the black male's words as he snarled them out. As the other canine's voice rose, Bailey growled - a clear warning to the other. However, shortly after his outburst the black dog grabbed his meat and bounded away - charging into the forest.

The golden canid stared in disbelief as the black form retreated into the vegetation. Bailey raised his head, tail lowering slightly, confusion clouding his eyes. He glanced at the deer carcass, his stomach still growling for more. He'd only gotten a few bites in before the other dog had appeared. His teeth snapped the air as his head whipped around. There was no way that he was going to let that male leave after his threat. Muscles bunching beneath him, he sprung forward charging after the gray and black dog.

Despite his legs being smaller, the agile dog was accustomed to manuevering through the undergrowth with ease - after his work as a retriever for his human masters. Soon he was gaining on the other canine and had passed him. Turning swiftly, the golden male stopped in the other's path, his side heaving as he panted. His eyes narrowed into a fierce glare as he blocked the easiest route away from the kill. A low growl rumbled from his throat before his maw parted. "How dare you think you can just say that! Just because I asked for more respectable introduction to the conversation doesn't give you the right to threaten me!" He spat the words our harshly. "Even those in the wild know manners to others, especially if the other party is of an unknown rank or is at least capable of defending itself. So I don't know where you came from, but I know that manners or whatever you want to call it are everywhere you go. And that threats aren't something you just carelessly toss out," his growl turned into a full blown snarl at the end of his tirade.

( Ha ha, xD Yeah, Riptide's kind of nice, just he has these blow-up things that can really hit his feelings. )

Riptide

Running from fear,

When the smaller male crossed over his path, Riptide reared up onto his back paws, just before landing back on all fours. His eyes flashed, hackles rising as his teeth bared. He spat out the torn portion of deer, hunger forgotten, and watched as the drool dripping off a section slide down onto some leaves. "Manners may be wherever you go," he started softly, the raspy words hardly detectable. "But that's in your world, not mine. I'm not sorry for what I said. I have a right to say, do, even think whatever I want. You have that right, too. But growling at a wolf-dog isn't going to fix your problems, now is it? Just because you think you can go around throwing your weight onto everyone's shoulders doesn't mean you really can. You have your own life, get through the hard times by yourself. Because someone standing right in front of your brown eyes and golden body really doesn't need a dog to criticize their every move, let alone rant along about something I could care less about. You are very good at a game that I don't want to play, and," Riptide paused, his eyes shining with unshed tears, dispite the fact that they were narrowed, and his voice shuddered as he said his last words. "And in my world, manners aren't alive. In my world, there aren't dogs like you." Leaving it at that, he manuvered slowly around the golden dog, trodding away with his head low.

Never really works.

[Teacup-old]

[ Glad to see you guys keeping up. I'm thinking we could use a little more activity, though. Do you have any friends you may want to invite? Also, I'm sorry my activity's been a bit low. I'll try to post tomorrow sometime. Would one/both of you guys like to be in charge of the thread while I'm gone? ]

[wolfpuppies]

[Bailey's mostly mean, but sometimes he'll be nice. Basically the opposite of Riptide xD
Teacup: I can see with some others in a rp I'm finishing up the profiles for and see if anyone there would want to join... I'd be honored to thread manage~ :3]

Do the sun and stars have...

Bailey had continued to glare at the black dog before him. His throat still hummed with a low growl, even as the other male began to speak. However, the growl faltered some as the large canine responded to his rant. The golden dog rose his head slightly, catching the glimmer of water in the male's eyes.

Yet Bailey remained silent as he watched the dog go, his whole body speaking of defeat and dejection. He stayed in the same spot, rooted in the path as the figure retreated further and further away before disappearing. Once he was sure that the other was out of earshot, a confused whine slipped from his muzzle. Bailey sighed before padding back to the deer carcass. The small dog needed the nourishment and would have to take advantage of the kill being unguarded while he could. His paws brushed over the earth softly, barely whispering over debris from the vegetation. I didn't realize we'd gotten so far from the deer, he thought with mild suprise as he continued his walk.
