Out of Character: thanks for joining.

She fumbled and tried to grab whatever fish that she could before they would fall to the ground. Her half-ears fell against her head and she had tried again, though when she bent down, her eyes caught the sight of something. She could barely make out a shadowy figure in front of her a few paces ahead. The only thing that made her realize that there really was someone there was these red tattoos that were under what Panda would assume his eyes. Was he...crying blood? Panda sniffed in the direction of the smaller being and she lifted her ears. It was then her partner had looked back and had not seen the woman following behind. He would run full speed back towards Panda, who was sitting there, looking at the weird creature with blood eyes. For the longest time she could not figure what the fuck she was looking at. Venom came up behind her and his secui form looming over her back had chills going down her spine. She looked back at him and his hazel eyes, she lifted a hand to her friends' chin and pointed it to where the little beast was sitting. Venom looked at the being, but saw it's aura rather than it's eyes, or it's actual body, just simply the aura around the beast. Venom let a small rumble from his chest before he jerked his head from his friends' grip and looked at the small creature, who's aura was a steely gray.

Who are you, little blood teared pup? the gruff voice of the secui man had spoken out to the jackel, the two fish in his mouth falling to the ground. Something about the pup's aura had put Venom off right away, and the wolf knew it right away. He tried to send a mental prodding to his soulmate, the woman whom was connected to him by the soul (he and she both believed so, and since they would often times think what the other thought or call out what the other was thinking about they believed it stronger than anyone else would even think to believe) had given the other a look, but was unsure of what she had been feeling coming from her soulmate. She shivered lightly in her cotton overshirt that had once been Venom's. Are you hungry, little guy? Panda asked, deciding to be friendly since this little one could be one of the clan members that lived here, and the last thing they wanted him to do was call his parents and his friends. Panda offered the little boy a fish that almost seemed like it was entirely too big for him. I'm Panda, and this guy here is Venom. You live here? the woman asked, though her voice was slightly hushed, still not wanting to make too much noise, especially since they had now been seen.

Out of Character: I would like to share the song this thread is named after with ya'll. Don't Hate

Those soulless black eyes were staring hard at the snow and coal pelted woman, and that dark star almost made her slightly uncomfortable, a noticeable shift in her aura would suggest it, and Venom noticed it right off the bat. Her aura had once been a deep emerald green of a healer, a shaman, but then it flared and turned into a crimson red before it became a clear, distinct red. His own aura would shift as well, turning from a deep violet to a red that had matched the one that was coming off of the woman. They were nervous because they were in territory and it would only be a matter of seconds before a clansman would catch their scent and come a running. The entity finally would speak to the two giants (compared to the little guy, they both were giants, especially Venom, the hulking secui that would be standing close to Panda). He introduced himself first as "we" and then second as Tsrmono Sotir. The other would continue to speak though, and the two wolves listened. He told them that he was not crying blood, but that those brightly colored "tears"coming from his eyes were nothing but tattoos. It would explain what the markings were, and both the wolvens did appreciate the clarification.

He commented on Panda's name, and how she looked like one. Yeah, the parents did that one on purpose. They thought that it would be funny. Some people think it is. the woman commented back to the robotic jackal, a smile still on her face still. Venom looked around nervously, looking for that Inferni member to show up. Panda had her attention on the small jackal as he continued to explain. He was not of the clan because he was a full jackal. It wasn't too hard to tell that he was smaller than a coyote, but he also did look young so it was easy to mistake the shadowed being for a coyote. Now Venom and Panda both knew not to mistake him for one since he had openly told them that he was not a 'yote. That also increased the fear that they might get caught by a 'yote if they didn't get out of there soon in Venom, but Panda was relieved that this was not a member of the clan. In fact, Panda just wanted to hug the little shadowed being. She looked back at the fish that they had caught in the river, their own hard work. To others, they were stealing food from the clan, but to them, the river had plenty of other fish for the Inferni clan to catch and eat themselves, plus there was probably better rodent population in the clan so that they could hunt on land as well. Panda doubted that six fish was going to hinder the clan. Especially not since spring was right around the corner.

So are you just young, or just really short? Venom bluntly asked the jackal, a small smile creeping on the face of the secui man. Venom then would turn his head to Panda. We should get from here, these "Inferni" clansmen should be running when they smell us. Tsrmono, it'd probably be a good idea if you left here too. They might want to hurt you. the male spoke to the other smaller male before Panda jumped in. He should leave with us! He's a loner too, and he probably knows around here better than we, so he could be useful. Panda spoke to her friend, a smile on her face before she would turn her head back to the jackal. unless, you don't wanna... she trailed off..

Out of Character: Everyone has an aura. His is gray because it's the emotions are guarded, which basically is like having no aura. skip over the first paragraph, it's just rambling straight through. There's literally nothing but character development in it.

The speech pattern on the young jackal was so mature, much more mature than both Venom and Panda would ever really be, only because they both had at part of their personality that always wanted to be playful with the ones that they were really close to. They both had a serious side, and a quiet side that would often show when they were nervous or when they were just disinterested in the company they were in. When the two had their moments of silence, it normally meant that they were content with each other, and they had nothing to say at the moment to ruin their happy little silence. When they did talk about things, they got into deep conversations about everything there was to talk about. They liked to socialize with each other because there was always the chance of one of them saying something completely off the wall and hilarious. These two loners were social, yet oh-so lonerish as well. There were things in each pack that they met that had driven them away. Them being so accustomed to traveling, and being loners had attracted them for quite some time. They were searching for their home. That's what they were doing this whole time.

Anyways Panda and Venom both listened to what the boy had to say to them, in which he spoke of how Panda's parents weren't funny to him, and then he also spoke his age, being of 7 months and also being smaller than he was supposed to be. Venom noticed no shift in emotion of the boy, his aura remaining a slate, clouded gray. Venom found the boy to be slightly strange, and even though the idea of the boy being off his rocker had also crossed the mind of Panda, it didn't help that she also just wanted to snuggle the little jackal because he was just so intimidatingly cute to Panda. Venom was silent, but his hazel eyes were turned from the small jackal because he was still on guard. The secui was not going to take chances. He nose was hard at work, as well as his ears and eyes, scanning the bushes for movement that was unnatural, and predator-like. Panda listened fully to the young jackal though, who would go on to explain that he was not concerned weither he was caught here or not. He also said that he was unsure if he wanted to "be responsible" for Panda and Venom. That made Panda giggle lightly at the boy. Yerr funny, Tsrmono. the woman spoke to him, smile strong on her face as she had spoken the three words. But I thi- she started to speak before Tsrmono spoke again, alerting the two that there was Inferni around here. They'd been seen. Caught in the act. Panda moved to where she could see her full surroundings, so she could see where this Infernian was.

The voice gave away her location. Scent was next. Then there was the scatter of stones in another direction. Panda's aura shifted again in the eyes of Venom, as did his own. Pan's was a bright, clear red before, and it shifted to a more maroon color, signaling that she was going into survival mode, ready to fight for this food if she needed to. Venom's energy turned to a golden hue, for he had become especially protective of Panda, and he didn't stand for threats. The lack of another scent emerging had caught the voice in a lie, and Venom looked straight at where the voice was coming from. Panda had her eyes there as well. A snarl would rip through the air, which made both wolvens flatten their ears and show their own ivory fangs. Panda's hand even moved over one of the axes that was placed on her hip. She was ready to chop down a coyote if she needed to. Let us leave with the fish and we will not harm you or your 'clan'. Panda called, knowing that there was only them in the area at the moment. The Optime woman kept her eyes locked on where the shadowed woman would be. Venom was looking for the aura, and once he did find it, the aura had given away her dishonest nature, it being a dark and murky pink. Venom moved slightly forward, his long guard hairs along his back started to raise on end, and his fangs still showed at the woman. You all have plenty of fish in the river. Your clan also has all of this land with rodents and deer, I'm sure. Us takin' a few fish shouldn't hurt you all in any way. the man growled, his long ears pinned back against his head, and the huge secui man looking slightly bigger because of his fluffed out fur and the menacing look that would come over his scarred face.
