WC:
Captain oblivious, that was his name and not knowing what his mate had been doing with herself was the game. The behemoth was exactly that busy, most of their wares except for the things he had brought to trade had been traded so at least on that respect they had done well, even if X’y had been the one doing most of the trading. X’y had wandered off a hour or so ago, and he had done so too, since after all there wasn’t much going on. Today was one of the few days he hadn’t been wearing his armor, or making a show of much of anything, he was just honestly tired of the festival for the most part. While it had been fun and exciting the attractions themselves could only keep him interested for four or five days. What had been more interesting was X’y his soon to be wife, and their exploits.
Her howl reached his ears and the excited inflection to it meant something was going on. Maybe there was something worth seeing after all. The urge to shift had been getting to him, too much time had been spent walking around on two legs, wasn’t natural. So in a crowd full of people, he shifted to a more comfortable form, four paws graced the earth against the eyes of those who had watched and judged such an act indecent. But he really could careless; they were the same eyes that looked upon his chest and back where proof of his mates love still clung to him. At least that was the g-rated version of the tail, anyone who knew anything knew how he got them, and most of them had been kept up that night while the two had done things best left for a more mature rated outlet.
The behemoth wandered back toward their tent and cart, his pace a bit quickened to see what all the fuss was about. Soon his blue hues looked upon the scene, two puppies sitting and giving X’y their undivided attention, their backs turned to his entrance. He didn’t dare ruin the moment as he gazed upon his mate in such a situation, almost wishing the two little pups where their own. He could see the mother in X’y, and while he hated to ever admit that he had a sentimental side to him, it made his heart warm to see this. Finally his body moved, moving silently up behind clearing his throat softly to announce his presence to the two little ones without starling them too much. Days like this really put into perspective just how big the two of them where, X’y and Saluce both towered over the two pups like they were mere playthings. But what better place for them to be? Because no one in their right mind would try to bring harm to the two excited little ones with presents.
“What do we have here?” he stated with an amused grin on his face as he looked across as X’y and then to the two sitting before him. “You two must be good traders, because X’y is very difficult to trade with, you must have done something extra special to have gotten those pelts.” He stated with a bit of a chuckle.
