"So you've been talking to him, huh?"

The voice from beyond the bushes chuckled as he walked. Beside him was the waterbuck of whom he was talking to. A female, so would that be a waterdoe? Machu, the orange wild dog, gave constant laughs as he headed back to where he had placed his new den. Hopefully Leini was there, that was what he counted on.

"The last time I saw him was before I left to find myself my den and I ended up finding a certain female myself. I did order him to find a female and it seems that he has. Since he has been gone for so long, I guess that means that you two have already been getting it on, huh?"

Machu wasn't going to hide it, he was blunt. His walking pace was slow but that was how he was. The lazy lug did not want to move but Kupala had found him. At first, she got startled and started to run until Machu pinned her. It was surprising when she asked if he was Machu. Lucky girl.


"Of course, I wouldn't know who you were otherwise, Machu. "

She replied boldy as she walked beside him. He was quite the big dog... was he really that lazy? It was hard to believe seeing him in person. His legs were tight and thick. His back was tough and it felt hard when she tripped earlier, being caught by him, she got a first hand touch on that...nearly got the wind knocked out of her. She had to wonder... was Slavic serious?

"What!? No! What do you think? That all females are easy to seduce and be gotten to submit to our primal needs? Oh Machu, you disappoint me. I thought you were some wise leader who had led Slavic all this way but you are just another womanizer!"

Kupala gave a scoff and continued her pace, no longer keeping up with his. The nerve he had! What was really annoying that he assumed that Slavic had already got with her. Where was that male now? He had left her in a nice safe place and had not come back. Naturally, she had to get some food and water that was when she ran into machu.



Machu laughed, smirking at her. She was a pretty little thing. Definitely something to chase after if his target was not already set on the beauty he already found. Oh yes, Leini, she will fall for him even if he has to chase her from one corner of the world to the other. She will fall for him. She will love him. She will start a family with him. At least that was teh plan. Maybe he should share that with Slavic if this female was acting as such. Slavic was so submissive, he could wonder what the two were doing together since they met.

"I don't feel obligated to answer that question, Kupala. I think I have the right to see females as I wish. I do not see them as things to seduce and have my way with. I set my eyes on one female and she is the one I chase after. That was how I have always been and I have found that female. Besides, I am more concerned about my friend Slavic than my own sexual endeavors."



She sighed and continued to walk. He had some nerve, but she could care less. He is not the one that she was falling for. Machu had his methods and it was Slavic's that was working on her... She will admit it now, Slavic was winning her over. Just had to wonder if anyone was going to ask. The dark brown female looked over her shoulder and up ahead. His den was approaching from how he was talking about it earlier.

"It is simple. He found me after my herd was attacked. He had welcomed me in his company. He had allowed me to sleep with him... DON'T GET ANY IDEAS! He offered my breakfast, to get myself cleaned up, and then got me to a safe place before the hunters' rush. He is very capable of being a leader, Machu, it is you that is keeping him from doing it..."



Yes. The den was coming up soon, he was almost there. If Leini was there, he did not want anyone around. Not Slavic. Not Kupala. Not even the Gods themselves, it was his den. If Leini was there, then there was bound to have some nice alone time. He really did need it after talking to this female. At least Leini was much more understanding and loving toward him. At least that was the feeling he got from her.

"He chose to pledge his loyalty to me. He does whatever he wants, I simply have an influence. He chose to follow me around. I do appreciate the things he does for me. If you love him, love him, follow him, but just know that he follows me."



To follow Slavic's leadership means that she will also fall Machu's. If Machu was as lazy as Slavic had said, it was going to be difficult for her to follow his leadership skills. Slavic was a much better leader from what she had seen and would gladly put her trust in his hooves. She just hoped that what she may do won't have her killed in teh end of all this. She just wanted to fall in love. She just wanted to be a mother. She wanted a mate and a love... was that so hard?

"Machu, I understand that you are his "Master" but you got to let him have some freedom himself... If a female were to fall for him, I think you may hurt him if that female become scared of you, she will run away and Slavic will be alone again. Think about that, Slavic should have some free will. I mean, I kinda feel sorry for him that he has to follow a predator around. But I care about him, so I will tolerate it."



The orange dog scoffed as he stopped.

"Slavic is a good guy, Kupala, however, it is not something I want to disccuss with you. I got other things to do and above that, Slavic's sex life is not something I want to know about nor do I really care about. I did give him that order to make him happy, he needed something better to do than follow me around. Now if you do not mind, it is my time to take my nap. There is my den and this is me going. See you around, Kupala, and do yourself a favor, stick around a while longer if you care about that submissive dummy of ours."

Machu walked past her, flicking a tail at her. He smirked as he passed and dashed off toward home. He had other things on his mind to think about. Slavic was his own person. Kupala was the only female he ever met, if Slavic was anything like him, he'd try to keep her.
