Falcon-
Misery gnawed at my gut. I hated to admit it, but I missed Eagle, I hadn't seen him in some time. And I was worried [glow=blue,2,300]ugh[/glow] I thought [glow=blue,2,300]I don't even like him . . . that much[/glow] tried to convince myself, but I still knew Eagle was the best friend I had ever had. I stopped by a frozen puddle to snarl at myself, my hostile features glared back. I realised how much I had changed, I still remembered looking at my reflection as a tiny pup, laughing at my happy grey eyes, my beautifully marked, fluffy coat, I had looked at teh beautiful, carefree pup in teh water and laughed, a new friend. As I stared at myself then, it crashed down on me. I was a grouchy, angry male wolf. And nothing was going to change that now. My coat, once so beautiful, so soft, so fluffy, was patchy, in some places there was none at all, my eyes were fierce, angry, but still the same flinty grey. The biggest change was my muzzle. I remembered a time, a long ago time, where I could lift my muzzle and howl with joy, the harsh wind soothing to my face, my muzzle had once been one of my favourite features. Not any more. It only caused me pain now. Endless pain. When the harsh wind brushed my face, it chilled me to the bone to, it whipped my mangled muzzle. It caused me endless pain I stared at myself, what had become of me? My muzzle was in shreds, barely recognisable as what had once been my best feature.
What had I done to deserve this? I whined. What had I done[/u]?

Xii
I padded through the valley, and saw a large wolf. [glow=purple,2,300] Hello?[/glow] I barked, approaching the large male. I put my head upwards and stared at him.

Falcon-
I stared at the wolf who had approached me [glow=green,2,300]Hi[/glow] My reply was short, I didn't feel like talking, but there was something about this wolf I liked. I laughed inwardly, but outwardly I was solemn. I liked this wolf . . . . So I hadn't lost the ability to like yet. That was something. I grinned my lopsided grin. I was grinning. What a miracle Wow, sarcasm too? I must be getting better.

[glow=purple,2,300]My name's Xiiontaa. I prefer Xii, though. What's your name?[/glow] I sat down, thinking I'd be here for a while. I smiled, a few of my whiting teeth showing.

I couldn't help but grin crookedly back. [glow=green,2,300]Falcon[/glow] My gruff voice was husky, I was feeling observant today, I was listenign to myself. How sad I thought. Sarcasm again? Wow . . . . truly amazing
I flicked my tail and looked over to Xii. [glow=green,2,300]How long have you been here?[/glow] Wow . . . . I felt like conversation. How strange . . . .

[glow=purple,2,300]A while.[/glow] I said, gazing into Falcon's eyes. I walked in a circle around him, letting my silky tail brush against his mangled muzzle. I observed his scars, not really caring. I had a deal of those myself.

I winced as the tail brushed my muzzle, it hurt. It burned [glow=green,2,300]Ouch[/glow] I felt my face screw up slightly in pain. Then I began circling too, out of instinct. [glow=green,2,300]I only just arrived here[/glow] I observed my pace. Wow more observance. My pace was sure, quick, strong, my legs moved forward purposefully. I couldn't help but smile at this wolf I liked. Liking wasn't soemthing I had focused on since Ea- No. I musn't think about that. Eagle had Amber now. He didn't need me. And I envied him.

[glow=purple,2,300]So.. where ya from?[/glow] I inquired, and started walking bewards. Without seeing behind me, I rammed into a tree. I laughed, a rythmic sound that is both funny and intoxicating.

Falcon-
I laughed, teh gruff hoarse sound sounded strange with her rythmnic laughter.
I laughed.
Wow, she must have had a really good impression on me . . . .
[glow=green,2,300]I'm from very, very far away[/glow] That was an understatement. I grinned, my lopsided smile widening.
A grin?
Wow . . .
I was shocked.
Truly shocked.

[glow=purple,2,300]My half brother has established a pack here, so I stay around here. I'm really from Mexico.[/glow] I inhaled, taking in the musty scent of Falcon. I saw through the scars. I saw that wolf inside of him. The real wolf.

[glow=green,2,300]A pack?[/glow] My tone was laden with longing. Eagle had what I wanted. It wasn't fair. I almost snarled out loud at the thought.

[glow=purple,2,300]Yeah, the Crimsonveins. That's the hellhound pack, Valkrii isn't welcome there.[/glow] I said, almost seductively. I needed to gain his trust more. I wouldn't crush him like others probably did.

[glow=green,2,300]The hellhound pack?[/glow] I didn't care if I didn't sound impressed enough. My tone was almost sarcastic . . . Great . . More Observation. I watched her almost cautiously. She wasn't like the others I had met. Without realising at first, my stance had changed. I had once been protective, defensive. Now I was just curious. Curiosity. What was wrong- Or should I say right with me today?

Her brown eyes were so warm . . . I felt myself softening.
[glow=green,2,300]Scary?[/glow] Still not impressed. I could be pretty scary myself sometimes. A memory flashed to my mind.
The memory of Eagle's face when I first went 'berserk'.
The memory of my twin with fear in his slightly clouded blue eyes.
An expression of horror stamped on his face, so like my own. His body trembling as he shook with fear. His fear radiating from him, the sweetest scent in the world. But worst of all . . . . The longing to take his life.
