OOC here!


Her grin returned, bringing a smile from Tharin. That was much better, having her in good spirits instead of the loneliness that rose off her. Tharin was lucky that he hadn't been forced to experience it for very long. He'd had Akira, and it had only been a couple months before he had found New Dawn. Those couple months had been the longest of his entire life. Blaming the absent mate was slightly amusing, but he did know it hid pain. He moved ahead, with Kiara bouncing behind him.


It wasn't long before he felt something brushing at his tail. Tharin continued a short distance further before he peeked behind him, watching Kiara lunge for his wagging tail. Mockingly he wagged it right in her face, only to have it snatched that time. A short yelp came out, Tharin spinning around to face her with a growl. He pushed against her, moving to grab her ear and tug it down. They were still moving, but that didn't mean they couldn't goof off while doing so.

Kiara never imagined that catching Tharin's tail would be so hard. She lunged forward, her powerful jaws aiming for his fluffy tail but clasped against air instead. The arctic female had to suppress a growl, it wouldn't be fun to let Tharin in on the game so early. She tried again and again, each time missing the tail until finally she managed to get some contact with it. Her fangs brushed against the side of his tail as it moved past her muzzle. The silver brute turned his head a little as he walked, his amber orbs peeking out from the side. A mischievous smirk crossed her face, but was replaced with a puppy like grin as his tail wagged just in front of her jaws. She lunged forward, hoping to finally grab onto his tail. But alas, she missed again. Kiara let out a low growl and twisted to the side to let her jaws grasp that fluffy annoyance.


Success at last. Tharin gave a satisfying yelp as her maw wrapped playfully around his tail. He spun around with a fearsome growl and Kiara let go of his tail as he easily pushed her aside before grabbing onto her ear. A happy whine sounded as he pulled her low to the ground, her forepaw waved in the air as she stumbled. Kiara shook herself and managed to tear free of Tharin's grasp. With a wolfish bark, she was off. Kiara weaved expertly through the forest. The scarred female's lithe body soured over roots as she meandered through the trees. Her net progress was towards the boarder, but she did not move in anything close to a straight line. Kiara's eyes flashed, daring Tharin to chase her.

The playful whine that came from Kiara brought a soft nudge from Tharin, tail wagging wildly, despite the fact that it had just been chewed. A forepaw waved around, hitting against Tharin as Kiara stumbled at the soft drag. He was more powerful than her, even if he wasn't ever going to do anything to harm her. He let go of her ear at a sharp tug, setting him off balance. Tharin backed up, watching Kiara for another chance to grab at her. It didn't look like they'd be slowing down as soon as he had imagined.

She was off, white flashing forwards. He let out a threatening howl, pretending to be furious at her escape. He couldn't really bark, but he did give chase after the tempting creature running before him. Her scent and the occasional flash of white acted as his guide. They were moving towards the border, but it would be a long time as it wasn't a direct route. He did his best to keep up, powerful muscles letting him break through the undergrowth, but he didn't know the area. She was able to keep ahead until they broke free again, entering an opening. He caught up quickly, bumping against her and turning it into a race.

A howl chased Kiara through the woods and she darted in and out of the bushes at a more frantic pace. Her heart pounded and spread adrenaline through her bloodstream. Her tongue hung loose out of her mouth and bounced as she passed through the trees. Occasionally she would pause, only for a moment, to see where Tharin was. He was always a few steps behind her, a broad smile on both their faces. Slowly they moved towards the boarder, enjoying the short play time.


For a long while, Kiara was able to keep ahead of Tharin. Despite his larger size, Kiara knew the land was able to pass through the forest due to her knowledge and speed. The two wolves broke into a clearing, and Kiara whined with a large smile shone on her face, her previous loneliness completely forgotten. Suddenly, a flash of sliver was beside her, their shoulder's brushed and he was gone. The arctic female surged forward, trying her best to catch up to the larger male. Yet, for every step he took Kiara was forced to take three. The distance between the two wolves grew greater so Kiara ducked her head and flattened her ears to run faster.


The young mother managed to catch up, but in the end it was Tharin who won the race. Kiara sat down defeated at the boarder and panted heavily. The line of flowers were spread out at her feet. It was an odd boarder, but Kiara didn't complain.

Both wolves stood at the border, panting and simply catching their breath. Grinning Tharin nuzzled Kiara again. They were at the border, and he knew that he had to leave. The wolf lingered for a moment longer instead. He looked down at the flowers that ran along the scent line, unaware that it was on purpose, just that it looked a little strange. Once he was over that the fact that they weren't pack would settle in again. Right there though, he could pretend.


Sighing he finally moved. I'll come back with more food soon. That was all he could promise as he turned, trotting back towards New Dawn. No lingering sentiments, no sweet words for the female that he was growing attached to. There was no meaning in it, everything communicated more simply in their actions.
