Shadowed Form

[Sealla (Retired)]

(ooc: Invite only)

Dust and soot clouded into the air from a shaggy black tail being lifted and dropped onto the ground. The owner, Sealla, stared deeply into the fire, lost in its majesty. Her eyes weren’t normal though. Instead of an iris, her cold blue eyes were like a pool, rippling each time she blinked.

The tunnels were empty tonight. All the Lycans were out. Probably hunting or loving. Either way, Sealla was alone in her home. It was times like these she loved on occasions.

But it wouldn’t last long no doubt. The Beta lay on her side, with her paws pointing towards the fireplace.

(ooc: Hurry up Xavier!!!)

[Xavier]

OOC: *apologizes profusely* SORRY! SORRY! POSTING!

Footsteps could be heard outside of the room where Sealla laid. It was Xavier, and his eyes had blended to their orange and black pattern. Every time he blinked the black ring in each of his eyes gave off a starburst pattern, retreating as quickly as it had appeared. All that could be said was that he wasn't wearing...much. His chest was bare, and he only wore a pair of loose cargo pants and a belt that looked like it could fall off at any second.

The Tunnels were indeed empty...of almost everyone. Xavier silently stepped up behind Sealla and laid down behind her, his foot stroking her tail slowly, his arm wrapped around her Lycan body.

Xavier let the warmth of the fire and the warmth of Sealla's body combine to keep him toasty warm, also. He kissed the top of Sealla's shaggy head and smiled.

The black furred head lifted diagonally and to the side so that one of her eyes could see him. Those rippling pools gazed upon him with love. Darling… she uttered before a pause.

We must do something about the young’ins. They go too often into the forest, you’ve seen it yourself. I fear for their lives…


(ooc: sorry for the short post...)

[Xavier]

Xavier nodded to himself.

"I agree, love. Something must be done. We need to make them understand that it is dangerous to wander in there all alone. I don't know how we can do that, though. If we tell them not to go, then they WILL go."

Xavier thought for a moment as he ran his hand through Sealla's coat.

"How many Lycans are there in the clan now?" he asked.

[Sealla (Retired)]

Thinking back within herself, Sealla counted mentally how many there were.

Morgana, you, me, Orca, Danni, Amelia, Kage, Apolla, Rayne, Paige, Valgaav… I don’t know about Arsenic. I think he’s distracted himself from us, now that Logan is here.

[Xavier]

Xavier nodded at Sealla's list.

"Ok, now how many of that group are old enough to be trusted to not enter the forest unless ABSOLUTELY necessary?"

Xavier felt uncomfortable and quickly changed to his Lycan form. He got up from behind Sealla and instead moved in front of her, curling up a bit closer to the fire than her and nudging her to rest her head on him.

[Sealla (Retired)]

Nodding, Sealla did as she was ushered, and shuffled closer to him, curling up against his shagged body with her head atop his neck, his silvery fur lightly stroking Sealla’s face from the little gust from the tunnel up and out.

They all are old enough, but I don’t expect the two youngest to do so. But I have told them so many times… Most of the Lycans here have been Lycan for at least 2-3 years, and know the rules…

Instead of leaving her head there, she lifted it and nuzzled her muzzle under his neck, letting her hot breath be absorbed by her love.

[Xavier]

Xavier smiled inwardly and sighed. Sealla was so responsible. She acted like the entire clan was her responsibility and hers alone. He didn't think that Sealla realized that she could share the burden with those whom she chose.

Rules were meant to be broken, darling. But I'll make sure to do my part to keep our clan out of the forest. I promise you that.

Xavier switched back to his human form again, relaxing as his silver coat melted away to reveal his human skin. He was completely naked, but he couldn't have cared less. Xavier snuggled closer to Sealla and closed his eyes, letting her warmth and the warmth of the fire heat him to the bone.

[Sealla (Retired)]

Though Xavier had changed to his old form, Sealla however didn’t. Although she knew she was always protected, sometimes she felt just that little bit vulnerable, and thus stayed in her wolven form. Nevertheless, Sealla ran her tongue up Xavier’s cheek in an affectionate way.

Thank you she whispered. At least a little of the load on her shoulders had been lifted off with Xavier’s few words.

[Xavier]

Xavier smiled and nodded as Sealla licked his cheek. He closed his eyes and sighed, then attempted to fall asleep. Soon his breathing became regular - slow and steady.

You're welcome, darling, he said briefly before he began falling in and out of consciousness.
