She had little to do and nowhere to go. This was what Tayui had been telling herself for weeks, ever since meeting Anu, ever since everything and nothing had happened. Days had passed, and she had wandered, like the vagabond she was becoming. But it was not as bad as before. She had found some interesting characters, the folk that were from a tribe called Aniwaya. That alone proved enough to hold her interest for some time, a welcome change from the ceaseless moving and wandering. She really only had herself to blame, for turning down Anu's invitation and taking so long to make a decision. But it felt good to be restless; wholesome and hearty. A delicious delicacy she had not had in years. Tonight, she had somewhere meandered away from the reserve, and, well, somewhere else. She did not recognize the area, but it felt distantly familiar. She was sure she would remember it later. Her footfalls were light and precise as she made her way deeper into the land, following the sound of trickling water. It eventually led her to a pond, shining eerily in the moonlight. Faint ripples stalked across its surface; it was silent with the exception of the rustling of another creature a few metres away. She approached the pond, sneaking a glance at the other creature. A wolf, most certainly male, the winds told her. She could also smell the scent of blood, and wondered if he had been out hunting that evening. One of the things she missed the most about pack life had been the hunts, the kills, the food and the celebration. She wondered if he had this. She remained silent for some time, not wanting to enquire about the male's hunt, for fear that he would take it the wrong way. A lone wolf asking about one's hunt? It certainly sounded suspicious to Tayui. Instead she just watched him for a few moments, and tilted her head in his direction when she thought to have seen him glance toward her. She smiled faintly, but could not tell if he could see her, or if he had even noticed her. Ah, well. [/html] - Haku Soul - 11-04-2008 [html]

Tayui smirked knowingly, almost haughtily in reply. She shook her head slightly, the action ruffling the mane of hair that was now braided in some places. White bands contained bits of her hair, some twinkling faintly in the night, light reflecting off the metal bands and occasional silver bead. "I've seen better," she replied lightly. She smiled easily to show that it was all in good humour, amused the male could even ask such a thing. Of course, she supposed there were those out there so certain in their appearance that such a question was only natural. She suspected this male was either extremely cocky, overly friendly, or just in need of someone to test a joke out on. No matter the case, she was game. She laughed when the male moved, striking a rather odd pose. She didn't know why he had done it, but the sight elicited a quiet, girlish giggle. "Though, that's not to say you're not impressive," she said, flicking an ear in his direction, her comment mostly in reply to his latest action. She chuckled again, thoroughly amused with the entire situation. [/html] - Haku Soul - 11-04-2008 [html]

She tilted her head slightly in reply to his grin, but said nothing. Indeed, something was oftentimes better than nothing-- though, she wouldn't mention how, in some cases, it could be most unfavourable. Luckily for him, it was just the opposite. Tayui smirked at this thought, then chuckled quietly as he spoke again. What is such a lovely thing doing out at this hour? She considered remaining silent, but instead, simply shook her head. "I wonder," she mused quietly, eyes dancing in amusement. Cruel things may happen in the dark. Tayui guffawed in reply, her laugh coming out more as an incredulous cackle at his words. It had taken all her might from falling over in a most unbecoming, unladylike fashion. Of course, Tayui had never fancied herself to be much the lady anyways, and had never looked the part anyways. The small amount of effort she had put into her hair (which really only served to keep it out of her way, for her mane had grown quite long, in anticipation of the coming winter months) was the only semblance of womanly tendencies. In fact, she didn't think braiding one's hair even counted as something that was stereotypically feminine anymore; but it didn't matter. "Indeed, hubris has been the downfall of many, especially in such nights as these," she replied, issuing her challenge. She knew of the destruction and downfall of those in stories, and those so close to her. She knew first hand of the accounts, and could recall a number of tales where overbearing pride-- be it before the gods or not-- brought about the destruction of one or many.

He liked her playful way of acting. Instead of cutting him straight off like a stranger might would usually have done, she had opened for interacting and played along with his silliness without mocking his apparently idiotic way of acting. He was a male, so that alone was an excuse in his opinion. She laughed again at his words, and bright blue eyes laughed together with her. Brown ears twitched eagerly to hear the next reply. Maybe she had not paid too much attention to her hair, but the fact that she had done something at all was more than he ever did, and more than he usually saw. The werewolf form alone promoted womanly features that instantly made them more attractive in his eyes. Oh, the wonders of being a freak. He smiled at her reply, and let his eyes elegantly dance from her forms to her face. Whups.
He was a bit unsure who of them that possessed the highest amount of hubris. Probably him, in a bit corrupted way. This was maybe not what she had meant with her words, but he couldn’t help it. I’m glad I found someone that can protect me from the bad guys then. He hid his hands behind his back and lowered his face slightly, trying to look a bit shy and fragile, as if a fully grown adult male was able to do such a thing. Oh well. - Tayui Aston - 11-20-2008 [html] http://i36.tinypic.com/23tqi2r.jpg); background-position:top; background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 448px; border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #20466A;"> No worries; school is killing me as well. ): Calculus test tomorrow!

Again, her initial reply was a simple laugh. Indeed, this male was quite fortunate to have her here to protect him from anything that might come their way, be it monsters, goblins, or both. She was fairly certain such creatures were mere myth, but like ghosts, they were things humans touted as impossible and imaginary. She knew for a fact that ghosts did exist, so why shouldn't there be any monsters, such as goblins, roamnig the earth as well? In any case, if they did exist, and chose to strike, Tayui would do her best to protect the two of them. Perhaps she could summon forth a spirit and have it battle with the frightful monster! If only such a thing were possible (though, she surmised that such an event would be highly entertaining). "I'll do my best, however, I do warn you that the only physical battle I ever fought ended in defeat," she replied, gesturing to the faint scar across the right side of her face. Since she had received the wound, it had faded, however, her eye never returned to its original sky blue. Somehow, the wound had caused for her eye to take on a deep, crimson hue. It did not bother her like it used to, and she had since grown used to her appearance. In the past, she had been ashamed, but now, she could see that there was nothing to be ashamed of (especially if every male paid as much attention to her as this one did). Tayui did not comment on the obviousness of his roaming gaze, but instead, smiled quietly to herself. [/html] - Haku Soul - 11-21-2008 [html] indenttable300+
There existed more between heaven and earth than any of them knew. Haku knew so just as well as Tayui knew. He knew there were monsters in the closet and under the bed. He believed in ghost stories. He knew for certain because he knew something was not right inside him. There were many possibilities, and creatures that stayed hidden, and could only be glimpsed by the corner of the eye, but vanish as soon as the focus tried to check them out. Haku was solid and easy to spot, but the thing that lived under his skin was invisible to most, except for the times when it wanted to come out and play. Ears flickered to catch up with the words the ivory female spoke, and brought him back to the present. He gave a small snort, shrugging as he did so.
No worries, I am quite sure it is better than nothing. She could fight and lose, but in the meantime Haku could always run for his life. Easy. His eyes followed her gesture and investigated the faint scar on the side of her delicate face. It was not hard to spot, but in the male’s point of view it did not lessen her looks. It was not hard to see that he had been in quite a few more fights than merely one. Hints of faded scars were visible in his face as well, though one would have to come closer to be able to see the fine lines. There were more obvious ones though, the long and think scar across his chest together with the fresher lines on his side after claws from coyotes. Blah blah.
Haku slowly raised his arm until it pointed towards the female like an arrow, hand open. If the ivory female wanted to, she was close enough to reach out and shake it. I am Haku, pleased to meet you, miss..? Or possible Mrs? He dearly hoped not. Single unbound females were oh so much more interesting. Also, wonder how updated this female was on the latest gossip. If she was, then perhaps she now would realize that he was a monster. - Tayui Aston - 11-26-2008 [html] http://i36.tinypic.com/23tqi2r.jpg); background-position:top; background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 448px; border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #20466A;"> Watch the skyscrapers as they melt away
"Hmm," she replied quietly. The fight she reminisced about had been so long ago, so far away, that it was no longer applicable. It left only marks, and taught her little. She had been too young to properly analyze the situation after -- or during -- its occurrence, and thus it served no purpose. She only very minimal fighting skills, those which she had picked up along the way, and those taught to her by Skoll more recently. Certainly, she had her instincts, but she was nothing in comparison to those who were born and bred to fight. In fact, she had fought another before-- Rain Oriel, one who later became one of her closest friends. She couldn't remember if that had ended in victory or defeat, or why they had even been fighting in the first place. But it no longer mattered; that incident was also years past. She nodded this time when Haku spoke, committing the name to memory. "Tayui Aston," she replied. Her lips soon curved into a devilish smile. "But Tayui will do." She held back a quiet chuckle, instead letting her smile soften and settle comfortably on her pale features. She tilted her head to the side, asking the silent question: so, what's next?

And suddenly the conversation shifted. The quiet melancholy vanished, leaving thoughts of death and decay behind, replacing it with a sense of gaiety and frivolity. Tayui remained silent as Haku continued to speak, attempting to figure out what these words meant. A mall? She had never heard this word before, nor read it in any books (though, she had been perusing books on the ancient Romans and subsequent Byzantine empire, and she suspected the word was more recent than one she might find in her current choice of literature). Tayui decided to let it go, figuring that she would eventually learn the meaning of this word sometime later. It did not seem too important, and she knew what the male was talking about in any case. Her eyes lit up at the mention of jewels, curious to see where such things might be housed. She had taken multiple trips to Halifax, but had yet to explore all of it. "Hmm, I think that sounds like a wonderful idea. What part of the city is it in? I've been there a number of times, but I have yet to find any jewels," she replied lightly.

Sometimes the humans liked to lock them away. Tayui wondered if hiding what was previous to one was a trait only common to humans, or if it could be found among even her own species. She knew she had held things close to her heart, and thus, had hidden it away -- or tried. She had tried to shield Ember from the realities of the world, but it had been futile. Ember had been independent, and she'd known who she was. Maybe that was why Tayui could only half-heartedly hold herself accountable for the girl's death. But at the same time, there had been so many things she had shared. Shadowed Sun had been created to do that, but it had not fared so well. Tayui wondered what philosophy was, in the end, the better of the two (or if there was even a superior and inferior). She suspected much of it had to do with one's state of mind, but that had to be only a fragment. And maybe she wanted to hold this canine close to her and hide him from everyone else. Did she? She glanced over at Haku as they made their way to Halifax. She found the male amusing, if a little... intriguing. He seemed like he was quite normal, but there had to be more. There was always more. She smirked; she would have to "explore" such things in depth. She snickered quietly to herself, amused she could even formulate such things (even if they were only in her mind). They entered the store, and immediately, Tayui was able to distinguish between the dull glint of the glass and the sharp glitter of the stones. They were beautiful, and that was it. These... these things had no purpose aside from aesthetic pleasantries. She followed the male around the counter, moving to rest her hands on his shoulders and peer around him to see what he had to show her. "Oh, my," she breathed, unaware of their proximity. "They're gorgeous," she murmured. "Pick one out for me," she demanded quietly, the softness of her tone contrasting with the single mindedness of her statement. Politeness discarded, she only wished to know what Haku would think looked best on her. [/html] - Haku Soul - 12-19-2008 [html]

Tayui waited silently, patiently, as Haku searched for the ideal piece of jewelry for her. In some ways, his compliance amused her, and in others, it intrigued her. She wondered what else he would do if she simply asked, what she would have to say, to do. She began to ponder the possibilities, extrapolating a number of possible scenarios in seconds from a single encounter. She wondered what he might do or say, how he would react, what he would look like, sound like, feel like, be. She felt the corners of her mouth twitch, but did not grin. Instead, she waited until he presented her with the necklace, finally allowing herself to grin. "I do like the piece, but not so much the price," she replied, smirking as she moved closer. Although they had made contact, with her resting her hands on his shoulders, such contact had since been broken. Tayui laughed quietly, wondering how she might be able to twist this in her favour. "I think that's too much of a bargain for such a... handsome piece of work," she replied, letting her eyes trail down, then up the male's form. She took another step, eliminating the distance between them, reaching up to rest her hands on his chest. "Don't you think?" She enquired, tilting her head to one side, eyes glittering inquisitively.

Tayui remained silent as Haku processed her words, not once reacting to his body language. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a slight flash of movement as Haku closed his fist around the necklace, and heard the quiet strain of his muscles and tendons as he gripped the jewels. She held in a smirk as he widened his eyes slightly, forehead furrowed in concentration. After a few more moments of apparent deliberation, Haku spoke, and Tayui cheered quietly. This time, she allowed herself to smirk quietly, murmuring a quiet, "mmm," in reply as he moved closer. Again, she remained silent, motionless as he reached out and clasped the necklace around her neck. She felt his finger rest on her chin, saw his gaze. "Kiss me," she stated, reaching up with her one hand to touch the finger resting on her cheek, then trail it down his arm, leaving it on his shoulder. [/html] - Haku Soul - 12-23-2008 [html]

Her demand was met with compliance, and after this, Tayui was resolved to see what else she might be able to get away with, intent on using whatever power he gave her. She knew she would wield it with a degree of force that might be unappealing to others, but it was something she could revel in, something she could test and use. As he kissed her, as she returned the kiss with equal (no, stronger) force, her mind began to move, to change, adapt. What could she do? At that moment, she was overcome by the insatiable desire to control and to use, and her lust for the male increased tenfold. She abandoned all her teachings, and let herself succumb to her desires, whatever they might be. [/html] |
