There was absolutely no use in denying it anymore, Shandom concluded as he walked the now familiar path to Anathema. He couldn't get Naniko D'Angelo out of his head. The Anatheman Angela was perhaps his closest friend and confidant, and was among the elite few that he could realistically see himself trusting. She was a lovely woman, vibrant and self assured - but that was, after all, what came with being the leader of such a ... large pack. Relations between Anathema and New Dawn were still rather non-existant, much to Shandom's trepidation, but the Gamma was glad his duties to the pack often gave him an excuse to see the woman. Plus, he was a man. And men had certain needs, needs that, for him, had not been satiated in what felt like too long. Shandom was already out of New Dawn, and getting closer and closer to Anathema - why not, then, come and see his dear and beautiful friend Naniko? He was sure she was aware of the tension that existed between the two. When she'd visited New Dawn when the winter was still strong, Shandom could easily sense the palpable electricity that radiated between the two. Of course, it was possible that Shandom was completely manufacturing this in his own, sex-deprived brain, but regardless - the Gamma wanted to see her, not only for her friendship, but for her lovely body as well. He'd shifted once he was mere footsteps from the Anatheman border, falling upon hands and knees when the transition was finished. Pale, alabaster hair fell in a shaggy curtain around his eyes, and the handsomely scarred man irritably shook it away from his face. It was one of his least favorite things about the Optime form he naturally avoided, and yet he was remiss to do anything about it for fear of what it would do to his actual body. He saw many canines, male and female alike, altering the strange thing, but Shandom couldn't see himself ever doing it. He'd simply have to get accustomed to hair in his eyes. Tilting his head back, Shandom called for Naniko, naming himself and asking for her. The last time he'd been here, they'd talked and laughed in her den for a while. He was eager to do that again - and perhaps more.

Word Count → 473 :: hahaha he wants her so badly
He should have been more tense than he was, standing on foreign borders of a pack that sometimes whispered of darkness, but Shandom was oddly comfortable here; perhaps it was the confident knowledge that its leader cared about him, and would not want to see something awful come to pass for him. Naniko D'Angelo was a good woman, if not in the possession of several secrets of her own, and she brought a smile to the scarred man's face. The trip between New Dawn and Anathema was not a short one, and it was a testament to Shandom's affection for the female that he made it for her. Despite his flaws, Shandom remained a caring and loving man, and those he counted as friends were often friends for life. The Gamma could not say that about many wolves; in the insecure places of his heart, he was concerned Naniko did not count him dear to her. As a leader, she likely had many who she considered close. Such was the way of things. Still, he stood with his head held high and arms crossed casually over his chest. He would not readily admit it, but Shandom enjoyed this pose because it highlighted the excellent strength of his upper body. In his Optime form, the scarred man had finally concluded that his arms were the most attractive part, and he had decided to flaunt them accordingly. Certainly, he tried not to be over the top about it (and he wasn't at the present moment), but he had to do something to compensate for the jagged flaw that practically ruined him. He had been truly handsome once. It was strange that the years of being a Nightslayer now outnumbered his years as a Qi'Vaex. That was not a particular thought he wished to dwell upon, and instead he let himself concentrate on the crashing through the woods he assumed would be Naniko. The scent itself was enough to indicate the Angela's arrival, and a wide grin spread over Shandom's scarred face. She soon burst from the woods, his name on her lips, and the smile grew larger - he loved the way his friend spoke about him. Hey, pretty lady. How's my favorite Angela? The Gamma laughed, and spread his arms widely - it was something he'd learned not too long ago, and it was something he liked to call a hug. The beautiful woman was even more striking than normal, with her cares erased by whatever means she'd done it, and Shandom remembered exactly why he'd traveled so far to see her. She looks great, he thought to himself, dark eyes subtly taking in her body. Perhaps it was the lack of sex, or perhaps it was a true connection - regardless, the Gamma would have to force himself to keep the hug platonic.

Word Count → 408 :: MUUUUSE i has it
Of course I came to see you. Had to see if you still looked the same or if you'd gotten crusty like me after your birthday, Shandom grinned at his friend, winking cheekily as his alabaster tail waving eagerly behind him as he looked at her. He seemed the picture of ease and unabashed joy, and the New Dawn Gamma could only idly wonder why he could not find someone like Naniko in his own pack. So many of his pack-mates were mated - in fact, he was in the distinct minority as a bachelor. It made for some uncomfortable nights in the communal den, knowing that he was one of so very few sleeping alone. Nights like those made him miss the Angela and wish that he could wake up, curled around her protectively, and always have her. Shandom kept these tender thoughts to himself for the most part, knowing the danger of his possible feelings. He couldn't leave New Dawn. He'd helped to found the now strong pack, and was a cornerstone of its success (in his opinion, of course). But he couldn't deny that he spent most of his time in New Dawn alone, lonely and slightly sad. Seeing Naniko was a wonderful remedy for that. She came into his arms and Shandom's smile softened and became slightly more tender as the Gamma held the lovely woman to him. Naniko was only slightly smaller, not quite delicate like so many of the girls he knew, but she fit well in his arms, and he liked her there. His hand came up briefly to brush the back of her hair, and for a moment his head rested on her shoulder and the Gamma allowed himself to shut his eyes for a moment. This woman made him forget about Linquilea - but, then again, that could just be the hormones speaking. I know, he murmured softly, picking his head up after a second and stepping away from the hug before he turned it into something entirely different. The distance between New Dawn and Anathema is too large. I'm not a fan - I miss you, Shandom spoke candidly, the same shy smile curled around his dark lips. How have you been? How was your birthday? I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner - I'm the worst kind of friend! His tone was light, and slightly self deprecating, but the Gamma wasn't entirely serious. He'd hoped that Naniko would understand.

The prideful Gamma nearly chuckled to himself as he continued to take stock of Naniko: in his excitement to see the lovely Angela, he hadn't noticed the dirt and bristles that covered her alabaster body. In normal times, he would have been slightly put off by her rough and tumble appearance, but these were not normal times. Naniko, for one thing, had seen him in all sorts of states of filth. The first time they'd met, so many moons ago, Shandom had been covered in dirt and disgrace because he'd gotten himself stuck in a goddamned root. A ghost of a smile threatened to curl around his lips, but Shandom Qi'Vaex wasn't in the business of looking like a crazy person; he resisted the urge well, and kept his scarred features wholly trained on the woman before him. Gods above, she was lovely in a way he hadn't noticed since he lost his beloved Linquilea. Naniko D'Angelo made his blood rush in much the same fashion Lea did. The thought was frightening. But her words were enough to make a tender smile curl across his lips. Secretly, Shandom wished he could spend more time in Anathema, if only to be with the woman. He was relieved to hear that her birthday was acknowledged by her three youngest children - the Dawn man would not have been able to forgive himself if the day went unnoticed. For some reason, Naniko's happiness was dear to him; he chalked it up to her simply being a good friend, and nothing more. The reality of anything else terrified the Gamma - he had never particularly cared for someone, especially a female, in such a way. He had felt tenderness towards Keli, and loved the way she smiled, but the arrogant man's heart was never warm towards her the way it'd been warm to Lea - and now, it seemed, his friend Naniko. I wish you didn't have to feel alone, the white man began, his baritone voice soft and slightly sad. If I were closer, I could - His words were interrupted by a flash of lightening and the sudden opening of the sky, and Shandom whined and nearly flattened his ears against his head before he realized that he had to be less of a child and more of a wolf about this whole experience if he wanted to impress Naniko at all. Lead the way, he practically shouted over the sudden howling of the wind. She wordlessly nodded and ran off, Shandom following with nervous footsteps and near blindness. He quite disliked storms, and he found himself blinking rather rapidly as he tried to keep the falling water out of his eyes. He hated situations like this, when he was rendered even more sightless by nature's cruel shifts of temperament. The exit wasn't far, and soon Naniko was slipping into a tunnel. Shandom followed soon after, and stopped after several yards in. The rain was no longer whipping at his head, and he could grin at the whole situation. Naturally, he was entirely soaked. Well, that was unexpected, the Gamma laughed, rubbing himself a bit to warm up. It was cooler underground, and it made him slightly uncomfortable to be so chilly. Where to now, Miss D'Angelo?

Shandom stepped back and let Naniko lead, eagerly following her knowledgeable footsteps. He couldn't imagine living in a place like this and knowing where everything was. It wasn't unpleasant to the white male - he actually thought it was quite nice, the privacy. The sureness of her paws brought a small, private smile to the Gamma's ruined face; Shandom loved a woman who could take charge and live a life independent of others. The Qi'Vaex man thought respect to be a very important quality in any relationship, and he knew he couldn't respect someone if she wasn't comfortable taking care of herself on her own. Wait, what was he thinking? The Gamma shook his head slightly, clearing away the strange thoughts and instead allowing his chocolate eyes to wander, rather unabashedly, over Naniko's quickly moving form. She kept herself in shape, and the curves of her body told that wonderful story; Shandom found himself having to focus on other, significantly more repulsive things, in order to suppress any physical signs of arousal. Sometimes, he hated the fact that he'd given up his sexual and womanizing ways. The life of a bachelor, at least the style he was living, definitely wasn't one that he wanted. Apparently, it lessened him to leering at pretty women; Shandom preferred to think himself above such things. They reached her den rather quickly, and though she claimed it was cluttered the Gamma simply shook his head and smiled. It's fine. It's cozy. It's much different from mine, he added internally, still rather confused by the human accouterments that Naniko used to create her home. But it could not be denied that it created a warm and pleasant environment, and the white male gratefully accepted the deerskin she extended to him after she created the fire and promptly sank down next to her. He had not realized exactly how wet he'd gotten waiting for his favorite Angela... But it did not matter. Me too, Shandom laughed, brushing his dripping hair out of his eyes as he strained to get a better look at her. He wondered how much lovelier she would be to a male with the ability to see out of both eyes. The idea made him nervous; he could not palate the notion of some other male staking his claim to her. Indeed, it made him perhaps a bit more reckless than normal. He laughed suddenly, and spread his arm to her in a gesture he might not have if he were not in such a frisky mood. I'm being impolite. Come, Naniko, you're wet too. Let me share this skin with you - it is yours, after all. His smile was kind and broad, but his eyes twinkled almost mischievously. He wanted to touch her, wrap his arm around her and feel her in ways he hadn't yet before.

She moved towards him, obliging to his request. A grin spread across Shandom's face, and then promptly disappeared; of course, he choice that moment to think of Linquilea. They'd never done anything like this. They would never be able to do anything like this. She was gone, like some magical winter melted by the cruel realities of Spring - he had ruined her. He had ruined the black woman, who haunted some land like a brutal wraith, and Shandom could not feel more disgust for himself in that moment even if he wanted to. The Gamma wanted to recoil, to curl into himself and live with the guilt that promised to consume him, one way or another. Naniko was lovely, beautiful even; but right now she could not be who he wanted her to be. She would never be ink velvet; she would never be a quiet mass along a star studded night; she would never be his Linquilea Yae. Then again, never would Linquilea, either. He'd seen to that. These emotions, these tumultuous feelings that could not decide which direction they wanted to go in, made the Gamma draw Naniko closer and bury his face briefly in her alabaster mane, inhaling deeply and relishing in her sweet, intoxicating, beautifully feminine scent. He growled slightly, a possessive and desirous noise, and the arm wrapped around the Angela flexed so as to draw her closer to his slightly larger body. Shandom was not himself - then again, when was the last time he had been? When Xyvi and Kora died? When Lea left? The day before, at the river, before his Lea-Belle told him she could never love him as he did? He wasn't sure - but he knew that Naniko, in this moment, was the one thing anchoring him to reality. Shandom wanted her. You are.... But Shandom could not find the words to describe what she was, without sounding desperate and revealing the deep emotional battle that raged within the pearly man. She was, he supposed, his anchor; unlike New Dawn, the pack he'd suddenly found he could not understand, Naniko gave him a reason to smile again. He wanted her, and his wandering paw - the one that moved from her shoulder slightly lower - made his desires very clear.

Naturally, of course, things didn't go as planned. Perhaps it was his lack of sex lately, but Shandom couldn't quite recall ever being so stunningly rejected. Naniko's voice, when it came to him, was frightened and filled with confusion; being out of the proverbial game for so long, it seemed, had diminished his skills with women. His rugged face was a caricature of the seduction he'd hoped to layer upon the dazzling Angela, and in his confusion he could not quite bring himself to think long enough to change it. Mismatched eyes flitted around the room momentarily, as if searching for some sort of external cause that might explain Naniko's incredibly averse reaction to his advances. Had he been misinterpreting her cues? Did she not find him as attractive as he found her? Or perhaps she had someone that she'd never mentioned to him, and thought of the Qi'Vaex man as merely a friend. There had to be some reason for this unexpected turn of events. She'd been touching him too. And, gods above, there had been electricity. He knew that there were feelings between them. He knew the way he felt for her wasn't unrequited, and in a burst of knowledge born from silence, Shandom Qi'Vaex realized he wanted Naniko for more than her body. In this moment of vulnerability, he could not keep up a mask of indifference; his face shifted into a comical sort of astonished realization as his chocolate eyes widened to take her in - truly take her in - for the first time. I... Naniko, I didn't... I thought you might... He stammered over his words, rising from the bed and taking a few tentative steps towards her. The Gamma swallowed almost noisily and his chocolate eyes fell to her jade ones, white ears pinning against his head in a quiet look of almost frightened supplication. Whether this was to his feelings or the woman herself, he wasn't sure; all he knew was this beautiful creature suddenly terrified him more than he ever anticipated. I thought... I thought that might have been what you wanted, he whispered finally, voice barely audible over the crackling of fire. I... I don't understand.

He was frozen, terrified that something he said was entirely wrong and he'd supremely offended the one person he actually could stand. It was unfortunate, Shandom knew, that they lived so far apart from each other. But who were they to abandon their packs? Naniko, he was certain, would not leave Anathema. It was her home, and her family; the way she spoke of it belied the love she had for the canines who lived in the caves. So much would make it hard for Shandom to love her in a way that was fair to them both; if he were being truthful with his chaotic mind, he wasn't sure if there was a way. Honestly, after this, he doubted Naniko would want to see him again. He was angry at himself, as he always was, for fucking up in such a drastic and embarrassing manner. Goddamn her. Shandom's confused expression twisted lightly into one of brief anger, and then it slipped into the passive mask he wore everyday. You think too little of me, the Gamma said cooly, mismatched eyes narrowed in lightly feigned disgust. If he were being truthful, he knew it was his own fault for behaving in such a presumptuous manner; Naniko was a leader, and a classy sort of Queen - in what universe would she have merely slept with him for his hormones? That had, after all, been the reason behind his visit, though he would not give her the satisfaction of admitting it aloud. Truthfully, the Gamma was hurting; the slight change in body posture reflected that, though he quickly gathered himself to follow Severus out of the caves. He would be back for Naniko. Shandom's quickly beating heart begged to be left with the alabaster woman, but he knew he had responsibilities and could not spend his time grovelling at her feet for forgiveness. Days, weeks, months, or otherwise; the time didn't matter. He would be back for her, and he would tell her how he felt.
