Schatten: He sprawled and gazed out at the moon ahh it was time to be moving along, Kiara had been a pleasant pause in his journey, but that was over now. It was time to move on and leave her to her own devices. He glanced back into the den at her and slowly smirked, ah she was a vision. Perhaps he would come this way again someday and have another pleasurable fortnight.

Kiara: She had definitely been feeling more lazy and overall uninterested in things. Her drive for pleasure was gone entirely. Her hunger had ebbed, but she sensed would soon grow ravenous. But also, her belly had become astonishingly tender to the touch. In fact, once more twice she'd snapped in earnest at her dark stand-in because he'd come too close to her sore underparts, or had nudged her the wrong way. She was new to these stirrings, but all combined she was now certain. The time had come. Phase one of teh plan, accomplished. Now to phase two. "Dark lover," she called out from the den, tail beckoning him to approach her.

Schatten: He grinned as she called to him his ruby eyes glinting with passion. Perhaps he could give her one more loving before he left, it was the least he could do. He sauntered over to her and sat down with a coy smile and cocked his head. "Hungry ma petite?" He chuckled and made a mockery by licking his lips and looking her up and down.

Kiara: "Oh, not quite yet," she demurred, dropping her eyes with a faint, knowing smile. Her mind was working hard at how best to go about this. She certainly had a plan, but it was a delicate game to play. "You've feasted me well these days we have spent together." It was admission, admiration, flattery, but also laced with innuendo. She raised her eyes to him with a subtle flicker. Play it slow, play it slow. No need to set off warning bells just yet. "Have you not feasted as well?" she inquired coyly. "Are you not full to the brim from our merry-making?" She crossed her forepaws and kept her entire body relaxed and rendolent with contentment.

Schatten: "Quite full Kiara, ours has been a good time together, rife with pleasure and indulgence. It is a pity now to see it come to an end, perhaps someday we'll meet again yes?" He moved a bit closer to flick his tongue over her nose in gesture of friendship, but also in quick form of farewell. He wouldn't rise to see the morning light pour over her again. He had dallied too long enchanted by her web of words and the sensations they shared.

Kiara: "Oh, but must it?" She raised luminous eyes to him, filling them with heaps of devotion she did not feel. "Could I not come with you? Our time has been so sweet, how could I deny such a beautiful match as we make?" She lfuttered her lashes and stretched to nose endearingly under his chin. No more the challenging, fierce Kiara, but the vulnerable and clingy female. She did not despise acting so, for it was for a good purpose. The more clingy she could manage, the better. "I would that I did not need to give up your most delicious loving, my handsome one." She flung every bit of longing she could into her tone. There should be no doubt in his mind. None whatsoever.

Schatten: He chuckled at her thinking that she must be joking, they had both known this was a brief affair but as all passionate flames it would burn itself out. Then she actually started to ask about coming with him! He felt her nose under his chin and it felt as if she were trying to wrap a noose about his neck. He quickly backpedaled and frowned shaking his head. "Now Kiara, it's been a pleasure, but we had an agreement..."

Kiara: With as sweet and gentle a tone as she could manage, she spoke once more. "But that was before... before I knew how we meshed, how we made the world sing together!" She rose to her paws, feeling vaguely clumsy. It wouldn't show in her movements as yet, but the feeling was there. It made her smile inwardly, but her focus forcibly remained on Schatten. "Can I not follow you to the world's end? Do you doubt my devotion?" Her voice waxed passionate, and she took a step in his direction. "I would that I could bear you pups! I would make you immortal! But give me a chance, beloved!" She begged now, with voice and eyes and body language. "We need not be alone as we have both been for so long!"

Schatten: Oh no! Oh no she was spouting now about words singing and other female madnesses. "Now Kiara theres no need for such devotion, I can assure you it would only ever be one side-" He jerked back then almost tripping over his own hind legs. Had she said pups?! "No! Kiara I-you know this was only temporary! Your not carrying pups are you? I'm not the fatherly sort kiara, I won't stay around just because of...well I'm going, you...you'll be fine once this infatuation has worn away!"

Kiara: "Don't you want to have pups with me?" She sounded hurt, but put as much abstraction in the concept as she could. "I mean, we haven't been together long enough, have we? But surely you'd want them, wouldn't you? Every male wants that sort of immortality!" She took more steps towards him, smirking inwardly at his stumbles and scrambles. "I will follow you anywhere, my love," she added in, letting her eyes roll upwards in solemn devotion. "You will be my world, my stars, my very beating heart!" Oooh, this was good stuff! Every word was tripe, of course, but it was certainly suiting her purpose. "You wouldn't even know I was there, excpet of course when I did get pregnant... I'd need you there with me to give me strength!" She leaned closer, eyes pleading and wide. "Don't you love me? Won't you love me forever?" She had to keep him off-balance, for if he stopped to think he'd realize it was all an act. Realize she never was inclined to such dross as all this.

Schatten: He was near panic now, she was saying all these things, she was too close! Why was she ruining it, any thoughts of returning for another brief affair quickly died, no way was he ever coming near her again! "N-no! No no! Kiara I do not want any pups, and this is over. Over do you understand? We had our fun and now you must be on your way and I on mine!" He tried to sound good and firm, but he was really nervous, what if she tried to follow him?

Kiara: "But Schatten!" She wailed his name mournfully, her canine throat casting such pain and despair into the words as only a wolf can. "Why don't you want me? Why don't you love me?" She flung herself at him, landing sprawled, albeit carefully, at his paws, reaching her tongue to lick at his legs like an omega begging for favor. Ugh, this was uncomfortable, both in body and spirit. This was so very not her. "Please stay! Or let me come with you!" It shouldn't take much more... just a little more to push him into the finality of leaving her side and never returning.

Schatten: "Come now Kiara don't make me regret our mee-" She wailed and his ears fell back in annoyance. Ugh, females, you gave them a shred of attention or courtesy and they thought to shackle you for life. Then like literal shackles she threw herself at his legs and he quickly darted back tripping and landing on his rump. "Oof! Kiara thats enough of this, we are not mates! We will never be mates! This is over! I'm leaving and you-you'll be okay."

Kiara: She debated throwing in a quite believable card, but bargained that though it probably would shove him away, it could potentially backfire and bind him to her. So she discarded the idea of accusing him of abandoing her as her family had. Instead, she wept crocodile tears upon his paws. "You..," gasp, "don't...," hiccup, "love...," gulp, "meeeeeee!" She wailed once more, having noted his expression when she'd done so earllier. Now was the point. He must go NOW and not look back. She made her voice as bereft and piercing as possible. She lunged to her paws, letting her eyes take on a wild and crazed look, whites showing around the edges. "You MUST stay!" she howled and flung herself bodily at him. Surely this would do the trick!

Schatten: Oh no way! He wasn't going to stay here and let her rant and rave a moment longer! Worse she actually looked ready to run after him, he jumped to his paws. "Goodbye Kiara!" He ground out despite not wanting to say anything but good riddance. Luckily she hadn't gotten pregnant that would have really set her on him! He ran then, he turned and ran cowardly perhaps but there was more danger in this female trying to cling on then in running away wild. He was never ever coming anywhere near her scent again!

Kiara: She watched him as he high-tailed it off, intently focused on his fleeing form until it could be seen no more. She nodded in satisfaction at how quickly he managed to get out of sight. This was exactly the outcome she'd hoped for and anticipated. For her plan to germinate seeds of doubt, no male could come looking for her, no father could show up asking for his offspring. This had to be final, utterly and completely final. With a yawn she stretched, then shook her coat hard. The gesture was like to an attempt to rid herself of dust, though it was not anything physical she was shedding. It had been cloying, playing such a weak and needy female. It was her complete opposite, and not at all comfortable to don, but a relief to shed. With her plans rolling along smoothly, she turned her muzzle towards home. It was time for phase three.

Schatten: He glanced behind him and gave a sigh of relief never knowing his seed had indeed been sown, nor what commotion it would reap. His offspring would be given the name of another male, and no one would ever be the wiser. He was certainly never going to return to this area after that frightful promise of domestic bliss. Then like all cads he told himself next time he would have a shorter affair and not bother with goodbye's but leave the female where she lay. Off he went, looking for his next meal, den, and adventure.
