Oh, my, my, you're oh so sly. Let's leave unsaid what's left unspoken. ___ Hybrid often wondered if he had missed out on something at some point. He could wait and wait, but still never find anything, hear, or see anything. He could wait all he wanted, and unbeknown to him, the thing he so desired might walk on by. Could he long for something that he did not even know of? Was that what everyone truly wanted, though? He knew others who longed to fall deeply in love, and others, deeply in lust. But was it really affection they craved, or was it the hidden nuances hiding behind the false pretences of it all? It was strange to think that he might want - or need - something he did not even know about. Perhaps that was why he was waiting, now. Perhaps he needed to find it first, long for it later, and lose it in the end. ___ The entire debate was both confusing and extremely simplistic in itself, and Hybrid found himself lost in the continuous cycles of 'what if?' and 'but how?' that lurked within the recesses of his mind. His thoughts were not completely all-consuming, as he was able to distance himself from them for a few moments as he heard the sound of a coyote approaching. There was no doubt in his mind that it was a coyote, for the slow sureness of its pace. A wolf would never dare walk with such sureness on their sands for a number of reasons, and for that reason alone, Hybrid was tempted to ignore the approaching figure. His curiosity, however, forced him to turn his head, and glance over at the other, blinking slightly in the fading light. ___ It took him a few moments before he recognized the other, and when he did, he was not sure what to do. Gabriel, the newly appointed Aquila, leader of Inferni: what could he say to him? Everything important had already been said, and he did not see the point to blurting out silly sentiments or hollow threats. In the end, a simple greeting would suffice. "Gabriel," he greeted as he stood up. He dipped his head, lowering his tail, pausing. He moved to peer at the other, crimson eyes examining him for a few moments before looking away, staring off at the ocean. "It's all yours, isn't it, now?" His gaze remained focused on the horizon for a few seconds before it swept over the other male, watching him, waiting. |
