Terra shook her head at Belle's words. I'm good to go. Watching the sky Terra sighed with delight. Shadows were her friends, her cloaks of darkness when she moved. She wasn't intimate with it as some darker creatures were, but she knew the magic of moonlight and the pull to howl at the moon. Terra knew about moving without being seen, and the gift that darkness granted those with brighter pelts. Even as Belle yelped in fear, clinging to her tightly, Terra remained calm, able to identify all the sources. Some were prey, a branch swaying in the wind, even a couple canines traveling to the festival and passing them by from wherever they came from.
The thought of handsome males tantalized Terra's mind. Yes, there will be. Any kind of male you want. I bet you could even get a sky person to love you looking so pretty tonight. Her words were gently teasing, though a note of need slipped in. She really wanted their attention. Terra sniffed Belle again, noting the similar scent. She still couldn't figure it out, though Terra had a feeling the males wouldn't be able to get enough of the pair. She'd just have to fight them off. With that thought in mind Terra grinned, only to be slightly choked as Belle promptly tried to strangle her. Hands reaching up she tugged loose. We'll be fine. They can't tell we're not one of them.
At last at the festival Terra's eyes shone as she watched the tents light up with the night, candles flickering. It was a beautiful glow, with a feel of danger to it. If a single candle tipped the fire would break free of their control, yet the dancing and merriment continued almost heedless of the danger they walked among. Drunk on the feeling of power and mischief running through her veins Terra trotted over to the big dancing tent. Inside many canines of all kinds twirled around. Partners interchanged with the music, males and females drifting along the edges looking for partners. Terra smiled at Belle happily, tugging her inside.
