Stay by my Side (Semi-lit wolf rp)

[Blu Malinois]

Ren didn't really want to sleep and was about to complain, but instead nodded. "Alright, I'll rest then." She mumbled. Ren moved a little bit to get more comfortable then laid her head down on the ground and closed her eyes. In only a minute or two, she was completely asleep.

Barren sighed and lay his head down next to Ren, his body infront of hers, shielding her from the unexpected blast of cold wind. He dearly hoped the puppies wouldn't be born on a cold night, like this or worse, in fear that they might not survive. He would give everything to these puppies and be the best dad. He puffed out his chest visions of him playing with his future kids.

Ren slept through the night without waking up at all, luckily. Her scent eventually became normal and every now and then she would still feel chilled, even though Barren was in front of her, but whenever that happened all she did was roll onto her other side or curl up into a tight ball. When morning eventually came she was simply lying on her right side peacefully. She finally finished resting and opened her eyes, only to close them again soon after to yawn. Ren then stood and stretched then looked at Barren with a small smile but didn't disturb him.

Aries shook her head, thinking about what he'd said. Then she shook her head and sat down as he did his observing. "Be beta with Duro? No thank you. I don't want to be under that cold alpha anyway." She shook her head again, her eyes following him. "I'm tired of living that way. Tired of fighting. Just...tired. Of all of it." The sincerity of her words rang loud in her voice. She knew they wouldn't have noticed she was gone yet. Yes, she could go back and make herself out to be the big hero. But she didn't want to. "So, have you decided if I can stay with you or not?"

Race finished looking Aries over, then stood directly in front of her. "The going will get rough," he said. "There'll be no pack to rescue you if you get in trouble. No healer to help you when you're sick. No hunters to bring you prey. The weather out here is harsher than it is in the forest. There are hungry beasts that come out at night. You might get hurt. You might even die. Are you willing to risk all that, just to get away from them?" His next words were silent, but he certainly thought them. Are you willing to risk all that, just to come with me?

Beka nodded, a grateful smile on her face. "Of course, Duro," she said graciously. "I'll stop going on my solo patrols- you're right, after all. It's dangerous, with rouges and whatnot."

[Transkitty]

Aries nodded, bending her head to lick her chest. "Prey wont be that hard for me, I'm...I was head huntress. And yes, I'd rather stay here, and go through that than deal with them." she gathered her courage and lifted her head to look at Race. "I want to stay with you."

((D'awww))

[Wildmagic_warrior]

[And Race is totally nonplussed. He basically has no idea what's going on XD]

Race raised his eyebrows, but said nothing. Then he dug his claws into the dirt, looking purposefully away from Aries. "Alright, then," he said, glancing first up at the sky, and then towards Rifle Ridge. "We'd better get going- we need to find shelter before dark, so we don't step onto Rifle Ridge territory by accident or run into something bigger and more hungry than we are."

[Transkitty]

Aries nodded, stretching. "Where do you usually go when you don't have a tag-along?" she asked, getting to her paws. She twisted and gently pinned her tail down with her paw to clean the bite where he'd gotten her. Once it was clean, she faced him again. She glanced at the darkening sky and growled slightly as she realized that rain clouds were moving in as well. "Well that's just perfect."

[Wildmagic_warrior]

"When I don't have a tagalong?" asked Race with a grin. "And here I thought you were my traveling companion." He glanced up at the rainclouds, and said, "Usually I live in a little cave just south of here. We should be able to reach it before the rain starts. It's rather small, but I think we'll both fit."

[Transkitty]

"Tight spaces don't bother me. Just don't bite me again." She stretched then looked at him, panting with her mouth open, her tongue lolling out the side. "Lead the way, Race." She waited for him to move, casting anxious glances at the sky. Rain means floods... It was obvious something was bothering her, but she knew he wouldn't know why the thought of rain would bother her so much.
