Hunting trip

Itzal had been looking forward to this ever since Alyssum had agreed to go hunting with him. He had not truly realize how much he liked spending time with her until he had left after their first meeting. He had been exploring a little since, but he still missed her company. He had not dared to think what he wanted to, he figured he would give it time, see how things went. Itzal had patients, it came with his being stealthy. You can not rush and be impatient when you are sneaking and queit, it just did not work. So as a cause of that, he knew how to wait and see.


He knew they had agreed on the hot springs, so he had headed on up there, hoping Alyssum still remembered their plans. He did not know what he would do if she never showed up. He would defintly feel stupid. But that was a risk he was willing to take. He had decided to head to the hot springs in his Optime form, he would shift to secui or lupus when he needed to. And as was usual of him. All he had on were some jeans, letting his straight black hair fall into his eyes. He probably need new jeans, he had about three pairs, and all three had massive holes in them in one place or another. He thought it was funny.


Itzal smiled to himself while think about Alyssum. He wondered what they could catch out here. He still remembered her comment about being a bumbling puppy when hunting, and still thought she was wrong. He knew she was probably graceful and amazing when she hunted. He could see her going in for the kill, a force to be reckoned with, her prey probably did not have any chance. He would have to see how good he could do in her presence.


He looked around and saw no sign of her, so he decided to wait. He thought maybe after they were done hunting, they could hang out in the hot springs. He would have to suggest it to her when she got here, or when they were done. He imagined what it would be like. And he decided either way, it would be fun hanging out with her today.

Alyssum winced as she lost her footing on a slippery rock that was covered in melting ice, cursing under her breath and taking in a sharp breath as her slip twisted her shoulder; at the least, she knew she was nearing the springs. Pains shot up straight to her shoulder wound that was covered in a makeshift gauze of cloth, since it wouldn't stop bleeding after her encounter with Toklo, but now it was slowly scabbing; she had the protection so that she would not get an infection from the cold. Just two days ago, some crazy wolf ran into Inferni like he owned the place, and with her trying to be the hero, chased him off, but she received probably more wounds than the intruder did. Though her cuts were covered under her fur, they still lightly stung from being exposed to chilly air, but Alyssum knew they were too tiny to get a major infection, but she did blanketed her shoulder, since she did not want her training to be hindered by something she gotten from chasing out someone from Inferni.

Though she was in Secui form during the fight, she shifted down to her Lupus form to make the wounds and pain more bearable, even if it meant healing to be a more difficult task. It took her a few hours just to tie the cloth around her shoulder, and she had to lick the rest of the smaller claw and bite marks clean. She would have to stay in her Lupus form for a while, since it would probably disturb the injuries if she changed into Optime or Secui, to much of her discontentment. Ever since she left her prejudice pack, she never changed back into Lupus but that one time in Halifax, but that was it. It reminded the coyote woman too much of her former past, and she had been thinking too much of her memories there lately, and even now she had to push away her discomfort to not take another trip down memory lane.

Even if she was hurt, Alyssum was not going to break her promise with Itzal. They had met only three days ago, but they had gotten along so well, the both of them decided to meet again to hunt. She had been resting in the caves, skipping training so that her wounds would heal properly without them being ripped any further, so she was well rested for the hunting party. She soon saw Itzal, but in a form she did not expect: Optime. She quickly darted out of sight before she could be seen and shifted into her bipedal form, though with a little pain from her shoulder wound and despite the oath she made not to shift while her injury healed; she did not want to make Itzal feel bad, or herself feel discouraged, either.

Luckily, the cloth she had used also a white shirt, which was tied with a pair of jeans. Though she wasn't expecting the sudden decision to shift, Alyssum always seemed to be prepared for these kind of things, and quickly dressed. The only disadvantage was that she could see her shoulder wound in Optime form clearly, and the four claw marks that would stay as scars seemed even more bolder than in Lupus form. Shrugging it off and tugging the sleeve of the shirt over her shoulder, the young woman bounced over to Itzal. "Hey, Itzal,"she greeted happily, giving him a wave with one of her hands, though she did not smile, but had a friendly expression on; since the fight, she had been less smiley.

Izal had been smiling to himself when he heard Alyssum approach. He did not look up right away, but waited until he heard her voice saying his name to look up and smiled at her. Then his smile died away. Something wasn't right. She was in optime form to. In a white t-shirt and jeans. He only thought about himself being shirtless for a quick second, then returned to his thought of something being off. He waved back slowly and hesitantly.


It was only when she got closer that Itzal noticed her shoulder, he stood up abrutly and walked over to her, faster then he meant to. He started to growl when he got close enough to see it clearly. He stared at it for a little bit longer then look at Alyssum in the eyes. His growls dying down and his eyes softening. He was soo pissed. And he hoped whoever did that was dead. If he ever found them, he would kill them personally. He was shaking with anger, then he took deep breaths, calming himself enough to slow the shaking some. "Who did it? Are you ok? I swear I'll rip out their throat if you haven't already. Oh my god Alyssum, I can not even think right now. " He was back to shaking and paced back and forth. He had been counting on a few things, but not this, not her getting hurt and being hurt during the trip. He was freaking out. And the worst part was, he could not get himself to calm down.


Itzal was not sure what to do, but he was defintly feeling protective, and it was stupid of him. He just wished he could have kept her from getting hurt. He was not thinking straight, but he tried smiling at her, his same old smirkish smile "Sorry, i know me freaking out is probably so unattractive" he tried joking with her, anything to calm his nerves, he turned around and walked back towards the hot spring, looking back to see if she was following. Well hunting for her was out, but maybe he could hunt for both of them, he did not mind, and then they could spend some time at the hot springs.

Alyssum's lips twitched as if they wanted to be pulled up at the corners as Itzal seemed to notice her before she shifted and was now smiling as she approach, but it seemed that she did not have the power to turn into a smile. But, the ghost of the smile disappeared as the boy's face first turned into confusion, and then she too looked confused. Was she overly dressed, or did she do something to throw him off? Then, she flinched as he started to growl all of a sudden, making her ears press against her head. He got up rather quirky, and cleared the rest of the distance between them, which left Alyssum even more questioning. Was she about to get attacked or something?

But, rather getting attacked with tooth and claw, she was tackled with abrupt questions. "Who did it? Are you ok?" It seemed that Itzal had caught the wound that she tried to hide. She tucked a piece of loose hair that hung in her face away from her view, giving her a mind to quiet her annoyance at the boy's concern. He was acting as if she fell from a tree and then got ran over by a stampede of horses, with the way he was pacing to calm himself. "Look, its only a scratch. Its not like its going to kill me,"she muttered, trying to keep the annoyed tone out of her voice. She was never really cared for whenever she got injured, since she'd gotten a lot of bumps from when she was a pup, and her mother did not usually make an unnecessary fuss over a tiny scratch.

Alyssum was at first quiet at Itzal's question, and answered,"Nah. I just don't like it." She walked after the black hybrid without another word, her blue eyes staring hard at the ground. She had hoped to hunt despite of her painful shoulder, but now that she was in Optime form, she was unable to. She had no weapons with her, and this form was the slowest of the most, so she couldn't catch prey by chasing after it. She would be a worse hunter than a one-legged badger, and she did not know what use she could be now on this hunting trip. Alyssum thought about just turning around and go back to the caves to sulk, but she decided to stay with Itzal and at least keep him company.

Itzal was still mad, but at least he was calming down. He knew how much he would dislike it if someone was going crazy over him being injured. He just had to get himself under control. He took some more deep breaths. As Alyssum muttered, he caught most of it and broke off his pacing. "sorry, I know I am probably being over bearing. Just, I do not like seeing that you are hurt. And i was not expecting it. It took me by surprise is all. I'll get better over the course of the day." He was being honest when he said he did not like seeing her hurt and that it took him by surprise. But he was not sure about him getting better. But he would for himself to see she did not get annoyed and leave.


He tried to smile at her as she followed him. He was mad at himself now for showing so much emotion and freaking out. He was suposse to be able to control himself. So why couldn't he have just then? Surprise, just like he had told her. Though he was not so sure he believe that himself. He knew he had been surprised, but he was not sure that was why he freaked out so much. Then when he heard the answer to his question he stopped and turned towards her, his same old smirkish smile back on his face.


"So, you just don't like it. You are still saying I'm attractive while I freak out?" He was smirking for real cause he knew he had caught her with words, even if at first she did not realize what she said, she would now. He barely dared to hope she knew what she was saying, and meant to say it that way. Either way, he was sure however she reacted would make him laugh. She was good at making him laugh. Really, truly laugh.


He knew she probably would not feel like hunting, but he thought maybe if he saw some rabbits or somehting that were close to the hot springs, he could catch them before they had time to run, without leaving her, and they could hang out at the springs and still eat. "So, you just want to take a dip in the springs or just hang out and talk? Maybe the warm water would be good for your wound." His eyes agian darted to her wound, he had saw it, he was good at spotting injurys, cause when he fought, he would look at his oppents for any, so he knew their weaknesses.
