[ An Age of Time ] - [ One x One ] - [ Kaysar & Astra ]

[Africa.]

The moonlit depths of Astras eyes flashed for a moment, a silent warning. Slowly, all-too-gently, she swept her elegant tail under his chin, a swift, smooth motion as she traced his jawline with delicacy. "Kaysar, silly Kaysar. Whats going to happen when you suddenly find yourself in love? Whats going to happen when you suddenly find yourself with pups? Then they pass on, they slip away from you... What happens then? Death is a silent killer, my sweet." Her lean, silky body was sliding closer now, her electrifying eyes locked with his now, waiting to strike. "Baby, I can make you life a living nightmare." She spoke softly now, her lips close to his ear. Slowly, she drew back, her tongue sliding along his muzzle in a seductive, sweeping motion.

[ Whoo! This is getting heated--in more ways than one! ;]

A shiver rippled down Kaysar's trim body, though whether from incitement or repulsion, he struggled to define. Astra was beautiful--stunningly attractive, really, but he couldn't overcome her horrible defect in his eyes: the darkness that surrounded her. This was the one thing that always pulled him out of his momentary reveries--it was something he couldn't stand.

"Find myself in love?!" Kaysar echoed Astra's words, perplexed not only at her notion, but also at the sudden change of her tactics. What was she trying to get at? He knew what she was suggesting, but it was preposterous! "You are a terrible temptress, Astra. And I know how much you love it, but there is more to love than beauty. As for pups, I don't know where you get these ideas! How would I 'suddenly find myself with pups?' You know full well that I have never been with a female. My duty is to protect the innocent from the harsh cruelty of the evil that unfortunately permeates nearby."

Kaysar scoffed quietly under his breath, hardly knowing what to think, just that she was wasting his time now. A sudden flicker of concern flashed in his bright eyes as he wondered if this was all just to distract him. He had to break away from Astra--now. His attention returned to the sleek female as he met her imperturbable gaze, feeling frozen to the spot upon which he was standing. Astra's words didn't seem to match her current actions, but as much as he may have wanted to, Kaysar chose not to respond, but in said looked steadily at her for a moment, expression blank as stone.

"Can we not have peace, you and I? Is there no other alternative?"

Any chance of a sort of reconciliation was slim, Kaysar thought. Either he agreed to Astra's terms and things would be terrible or he didn't agree and she would go ahead with her wishes and things would still be terrible.

Astra couldn't help the slither of a hissing laugh that escaped her throat. "Trust me, I hadn't been implying that you find love with me. But, as for the compliment about my beauty, I accept." She tossed a wink over her shoulder, deadly amusement in her eyes as she did so. The Black Beauty was truly something else, deadly but gorgeous, twisted but magnificent, cold but intruiging.

"Peace..." She seemed to ponder upon this for a moment, although she was actually pondering whether or not to release the whirl of colors into her eyes. Despite her hopes in finding his nightmare, she found him quite intruiging, a plushie to be toyed with. With her powers, it'd be easy to scare him off, but she found herself enjoying his many reactions to her many tactics.

"We'll see." A half-deadly, half-seductive smirk tugged at the edges of her lips, her tail moving in another smooth, sweeping motion as she waved it in goodbye, the tip brushing his muzzle for a moment, bringing another smirk to her lips. With that, she bounded off down the rolling hill, her silky black fur buffeting in the wind, making her seem even more stunning, if possible. Despite the heavy winds, her scent lingered in the air, smelling of herbs and heavy-scented flowers, so sweetly seductive.
