Chocolate tipped paws slowly slugged across the ground as the orange and chocolate wolf moved. He was in the most dominent of either of his states at the time, his eyes half lidded. It was what was known as his 'stoner state' by his family, the flip side of the cruel and wicked half of him that always seemed to be lying just behind the glass mask that made up most of his personality.
Was it an underlying thought that he might not be himself half the time?
A growl came from Fenuku's muzzle, the glass gaining a chip as he thwacked a stick away from his path and picked up a little more speed. He didn't like to be alone, didn't like to be away from Dax or Eiros or Vashti. It gave Fen a chance to think over his own mind, gave him a moment where he wasn't doing something or distracted where he would be with all his siblings. They were the ones that kept the glass of the mask from shattering completely, but right now... he was here... alone.
"Stupid alone!" He growled, almost snapping but the glass staying almost in place. "Don' like bein' alone man."
The pup was a pup, he was softer now but what would become was a different story. How the devil beyond the glass reacted would be shown with time, would be revealed later. But for now... for now it howled and screamed and Fenuku never heard it. Never heard the other known as Fenuku-ta that snarled and screamed for control just beyond the boundaries of his knowledge.

Heartbeat and lungs pumped, ears were laid back and icy mitts thumped. Pink tongue lolled out of the young muzzle just slightly as small body was carried rather swiftly over the uneven terrain.
Running. It was something the female did often. Whether it was to escape, or merely for fun, it gave the normally shy and trembling pup a sense of power. When she ran, it was like no one could touch her, or scare her, or threaten and snap at her. When she ran, it was just her and the wind as it rushed over her face and past her ears, ruffling her teal and azure hued pelt, and flying under her agile paws.
However…as much as she thought someone couldn’t touch her as she sprinted around, the female was wrong on this day.
Nuenen barely had enough time to see she was about to ram into somebody, let alone apply the breaks. She felt her head slam into something, causing a pained yip to escape her maw, before she found herself sprawled in the dust and tangled with the legs of…well, something. Everything was currently spinning in the female’s eyes and mind…

With barely any warning other than a soft pattering sound to betray the presence of the other, Fenuku was completely knocked from his steady feet. His eyes blinked and he snapped completely, flipping himself to his feet and letting his fur stand on end before he saw what had 'attacked' him.
It was a small blue and white female that was only a tad bit bigger than himself. She appeared as dazed as he should have been and normally was, but she also seemed as if she were shocked by it.
"Uh... you okay?" Fen asked softly in his thick voice. "An angel that falls from the sky should watch where she lands."
His nose sniffed at her, watching the larger blue and white female with lazy green eyes. Hopefully she was okay, she was a pretty little thing, literally like an angel that had just... appeared. Why was she out running though? Didn't a pup this young have a family? Fenuku knew that he had one, so why shouldn't she?
Or maybe she was just an angel? One sent down with no family to watch over someone? His mother had told him about angels, guardians that would walk beside you and never make themselves known. Was she one that was maybe just learning?
"Are you a guardian angel by any chance?"

Closing and reopening her eyes a few times, as well as shaking her head to rid it of its dizziness, and to stop the world from spinning, the azure female flicked and ear and looked up to the thing she had run into, her heart speeding in her chest. She hoped whatever it was wasn’t big, that it wouldn’t eat her or try to take her away somewhere she didn’t want to go…. Thoughts of horrid outcomes flashed through her mind’s eye, but when her pale lilac lanterns registered the amber and muddy tones on a small, furred body, she almost sighed with relief.
Another pup. She hadn’t seen someone her size since that short-lived run-in with Alexander and Litre, so seeing something her age was a welcoming sight.
Heart slowing just a tad, and crawling back into her chest and out of her throat, Nen still couldn’t ignore her born instincts and overly shy being. When the other spoke, she jumped to her feet. Tail was already lowered and head went level with her spine. A flattened ear gave a flick when the puppy male’s question reached her, but all she could do was give a tiny side cant of the head. A guardian angel? What was that? Nen didn’t know. Heck, she didn’t even know what an “angel” was.

When her eyes opened Fen blinked in awe of her eyes. They were lilac in color, shocking to look at and even more shocking to have look at him. She had to be an angel, but she looked like a beaten angel, broken from how she was standing.
A crick appeared in the glass mask and Fen lifted his head up, walking up to her and using a paw to lift her chin up without asking her. Deep down the devil howled and ranted about how disrespectful it was for something that pretty to act so demur. She looked like she should be wild it said. That she should run with the wind and trail with the sunlight.
But she didn't, her tail hung low and her head was on level with her shoulders.
"Don't do that, Angel." Fenuku-ta said to her simply, his voice more gravely in his second state, "You hold yourself like the catch you are, show the world the spirit that hides beneath those pretty eyes."
In an instant he switched back into himself again, stoner eyes blinking lazily as he yawned gently and stretched out both of his shoulders. He wasn't one to really tell others what to do, but at least he wasn't alone anymore, she was filling the void that was making th emask break slowly. He didn't want it to break, so maybe he would hang around her as long as she wanted him there? Ta didn't seem to care about her too much after all, just seemed to find her demur habits amuzing.

If a wolf was able to blush, even in the slightest sense, then lthe ittle female was probably doing just that right about now. She felt her face and toes become hot when the comments fell over her ears, and when the other lifted her maw. “Angel”? “Pretty eyes?” Nen had never had such words bestowed upon her, and it made her mind fizz and scramble…thought those feelings soon turned to pure confusion.
She had watched the other carefully, and had noted the different tone of voice and the more alert stare, which had just been replaced with a half-lidded, lazy one. What sort of wolf was this other? Was he two wolves? It certainly seemed like it.
“Is there…” she started when the other moved away from her a little, “…is there another one of you? Inside, are there two?” Invasive question, yes, but weren’t all young ones’ questions? Nuenen spoke with a soft voice, timid and careful as she picked each word with great precision.

Smiling at her with that normal lazy grin, Fenuku watched her expression carefully. She wasn't the only one that used diplomacy, the eldest child of the litter used it constantly, it was how he was able to live with his three other siblings and be able to hide what he was deep down. That Ta lived within him and that he wasn't what he appeared.
"So you caught on then? Yeah, there are two of us. S' sorta annoyin really." Fenuku said simply while Ta grumbled in the back of his mind and pressed against the glass with his paws. It was as if he were begging to be released, begging to be let out so he could show her what he wanted to.
Fen grumbled inwardly to his devil.
Fenuku-Ta said with a wry grin deep within his mind, his burning red eyes watching the little female closely.
"My name's Fenuku, or Fen like my family calls me. What's yours, not that it matters, you'll always be Angel." Fen said slowly, his slurred and thick voice catching now and again as if he weren't sure what it was he was exactly saying. And yet he knew it all.

The female blinked towards the male’s answer. So there were two of him…well, it was definitely something new to her. She wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing though; to be two people.
Not wanting to dwell on the known facts any longer, Nen brought her attention to the question asked of her while rolling the name of the male around in her head. Fenuku…interesting…
“Um…um… Nuenen,” she managed to say, eyes casting downwards again. Her mind could be as busy and philosophical as space, but it still caused her to act small and just…powerless; one who didn’t go against the flow and just followed others’ cues.

"Hm, Nuenen's a cool name, you know what it means?" Fenuku asked slowly, leaning his head to the side. Sure she seemed pretty to him, but only in the 'hey look she looks like water' sort of way. A pup was still a pup right? And besides, aside from as a friend... why would he need a girl?
Yet at the same time, friend wasn't the first thing that popped into his head, follower was. If she could be a follower, if she could follow him AND Dax?
It took all that Fen had not to snarl outwardly at Ta for taking over his brain for a moment there and dwelling on such things. What use did it even have?
"So why were you running about then Angel?" he asked faintly, blinking at her quietly with his half lidded eyes.

"Ah, uh, mmm..." too many questions! Nen wasn't sure which to answer first. Lilac eyes darted around in second glances, mind running like she had been not long ago. Flicking back her ears, she lifted a forepaw, but then quickly put it down again. Did her name mean anything? She didn't think so... And why did the pup keep calling her "angel"?
Looking back at the lazy-eyed male, she parted her maw and emitted her soft answer to his last question, the first being forgotten unless brought up again later. "I...I like to...run...Just because."
She looked down at the dirt again, tail moving slightly...or so it seemed like it was. Could've been the wind that decided to blow close to the ground a second ago. Blinking, she watched a rock for a moment, seeming as in some sort of state of thought, or like she was trying to see if it'd get up and walk away, when suddenly she asked, "what is an..an angel?" her eyes were still on the rock...and it still hadn't moved.

"That's as good a reason as any I suppose." Fenuku responded smoothly, ignoring Ta for a moment before the other took over, chipping at the glass of the mask until it gave way. "So you don't know what an 'angel' is eh?"
His paws led him around her, circling once as he looked her over, taking in that she must have lived alone for quite a while, she might have been a pup and she may have been female, but she was quite built. She had muscles, she had power, she just didn't appear to know she possessed it at all.
Ta said as the mask went back at the urging of Fenuku.
Fen's slurred voice said inwardly, not speaking a word outwardly until he looked back at her with half lidded eyes and smiled gently.
"Well... y'know... every wolf apparently s'got a guardian angel that looks over 'em. You fell right outta the sky, or at least it felt like it, s'why I asked if you were an angel." Fenuku supplied for her, smiling at her lazily. "Mom's always tellin' me about it. Dunno where she came up with it from, but I do like the sounds of it."

Nuenen eyed him as he began to circle her, her head followimg him around as she'd look over her shoulders. It were those types of actions that caused the fur along her spine to lift ever so slightly, and caused a fearfull tingle to drift around her paws while muscles tensed and coiled.
Watching him come back around, she let her heart slow again, and ears perked when they caught his words about guardian angels and all that...which still hadn't answered her question. Despite that though, she guessed the whole concept of having something watching over you was okay...just as long as it didn't turn evil or something.
Allowing herself to continue to lower her guard again, Nen lowered herself to her haunches. Head tilted to the side as she watched Fenuku smile, but she didn't return it with one of her own. No, smiles were something reserved for more comfortable occasions...like when she was pouncing after a frog or something.
"What w-were you doing here?" she asked. He was asking her questions, so she might as well too.

"Me? I don't like to be alone, so I was looking for someone or something." Fenuku said as a simple response, his green eyes on her delicatly. She seemed as if she were afraid of him, which made him lift an eyebrow.
"I guess that a better question would be, what is an angel doing running about on the ground?"
He swished his tail as he sat and yawned slightly, flicking an ear in the direction of a squirrel that ran up a tree. His eyes turned to look at it slowly, the halfliddedness of them taking in the trek of the small rodent up the bark of the tree. It's tail twitched slightly and he debated going into stalk mode, but he remembered suddenly that he couldn't actually climb.
Especially since he wasn't a cat. So he turned his eyes back to Nuenen and smiled at her warmly once more.

The femme hesitated on her answer as she, too, watched the squirrel scurry up the tree bark with interest. Her tail began to sway in a consistant back and forth motion as she stared almost unblinkingly at her "target", following its movements around the upper branches. When it hopped to another tree, she followed it with her head, and when it went behind her, she stood up and moved to face it.
So engulfed the pup had become in the rodent that she practically forgot about the question asked of her earlier....

An eyebrow twitched with interest as the female became engrossed in the squirrel that he had spotted. So an angel could be swayed by mortal things? Go figure.
Letting it go for a bit, not really worrying about her answer, or what it might possibly hold for him in particular, Fenuku stood and stretched himself out a bit. His spine cracked and he sighed out softly, the unique personality that he had finally taking over and he stretched out on his belly, eyes half lidded and looking at the tree, though not the squirrel climbing it.
That was another thing about him, it was rare to find an animal that would step back and look at nature with unblinking eyes, and yet there he was. Fenuku would stare at the world that surrounded him very calmly and seem as if he were thinking about absolutely nothing. Which was partially true, Fen never really thought about anything, it wasn't his brain that was quick as a whip. Fenuku-ta thought of it all. Ta was always thinking, and that was why he was such a soldier for Dax.
"Well Angel?" He said finally, turning to gaze at her with his glazed looking eyes.
