Lake Side Manners

[Rogue]

Her inquisitive eyes never left his as he thought and spoke. Her ears shifted left, backward and right every now and then, picking up the shuffling of leaves somewhere, then the flight of an owl, and somewhere distant, the footsteps of some creature. Although her ears flickered constantly, she was not nervous, merely alert. These were the sounds of the night, and every sound always seemed so much sharper at night.

Although she would never admit it, Rogue also found the boy interesting, to some extent. He was someone who didn't know her, and someone who made an effort not to flinch at her words, or attack her verbally, or pester her physically. He showed respect, and gratitude at having her for company, without even saying this.

He raised an eyebrow at her question, and she lulled her eyes to blink peacefully, urging him to continue talking. His second guess was clever, and well put to the lycaness. He deserved a smile for placing it up for conversation, but of course in her form, she wouldn't grace him with one. Perhaps only inwardly.

She was about to question whether he in fact valued death over immortality, and she would have followed that with a description of how it felt to be immortal, hoping to enlighten him in that face that he was actually lucky, from her point of view. This never rose however, because he quickly delivered the same question back to her, making her turn her head to the side and lay her muzzle on her forepaws, watching the lake from the corner of her eyes.

I have never known any different. She began softly, not bothering to take the time to study herself at this moment. I do enjoy this though. She added even quieter, referring to herself in the form of a she-wolf. For that was her true form, and she was never completely at ease in her human form.

[Fate]

Her body language told him he could relax at least a little around her. Fate liked having someone to talk to him and she was not judging him and him her. He smiled inwardly at the simplicity of their situation they where two people just wanting to sit in the dark and talk from time to time. He looked out at the lake as she spoke "I feel the same, this is what I was born as this is all I know." he looked at her for a moment just for a second. He understood her perfectly at least on this account it was just something else they had in common.

Fate watched her sit and watch him at first before looking away toward the lake. He smiled slightly at her as she did so he felt much more comfortable here. He had seen something behind her eyes was it something she wanted to say to him? He wondered what she could have had to say, was it something about immortality or something else. He didn't say anything for a while and just sat there looking between her and the lake sitting in the darkness in silence.

Her last words to him made him smile slightly though. She liked to be in this peaceful area and like she was a wolf and a beautiful one at that. He could feel the strength and power that emanated off of her from the start. "You are so extraordinary I have never met anyone like you before." He said and oddly enough is he didn't mean that she was a different creature from him he meant she was just so different from anyone he had ever met.
