Taiyou was panting slightly as she returned to the Antianeira camp. She'd just been out on a border patrol and it had worn her out more than she thought it would. She was trying very hard to make herself useful to her new Pack, so she made sure to double and triple check anything that was suspicious. She had hunting duty in a few hours or so, so she'd take this time to rest and relax. Her bright white fur with the splashes of white shone brightly under the sun, making her stick out like a Daisy in a snowbank. She was currently flopped over on her side and alone, contently watching other wolves pass her by. It was quiet for the middle of the day, most of the others out on their various duties of patrols, leaving only a few loners like herself to stay in the camp.

Iosef had been raised to believe that males were to speak only when spoken to and to be, for all accounts, invisible when not needed. And so when he nearly tripped over the white female lying in a patch of sunlight, he nearly died of embarrassment and terror.
"Sorry!" He cried, stumbling over his paws in a frantic attempt to get away, landing heavily on his haunches and looking down, careful to avoid her eyes. How had he not seen her? He glanced at her again, from the corner of his eye; she was brilliant, and lovely, and well-nigh impossible not to see.
So why hadn't he noticed her before nearly treading on her tail?
Iosef held himself in a position of total submission, ears folded to his skull and tail tightly between his legs, and chastised himself for allowing his thoughts to wander so dramatically. He only hoped that she would show mercy on his trespass.

Taiyou blinked in surprise when a male wolf stumbled against her. Her ears angled forward curiously and she snorted, raising herself to her paws and padding over to him. Despite her new status within the Pack, she had of course seen him around. Him and his interesting colored pelt. While he cringed before her she sniffed him, glad for this slight diversion. Nonetheless she thought she might give him a little scare. "Hey you! Watch where you're going!" She barks, her voice sounding a little harsh but her eyes and stance were one that suggested a more playful manner.

"Y-yes my lady," he stammered, keeping his violet eyes low. He was a lovely wolf, daintily built and with thick, luxurious fur in its distinct coloration. "Please forgive my stupidity." He chanced a slight glance upward; his limbs trembled, more from shame than fear. "Are you alright, my lady?"

Taiyou chuckles as he trembles like a leaf on a tree in front of her. Then she sighs and flops back down onto the ground, stretched out luxuriously and displaying her almost blindingly white pelt nicely. "I'm all right, but you can make it up to me with a little rubbing..." She murrs at him, her ears still angled forwards and her eyes bright. She wasn't mad at him at all. She found the Female's dominance over the males in the Pack amusing, but didn't question it. She had a soft spot for them, with their quiet and subservient ways and she usually liked to hang out with them more than she did the females.

"Of course," he replied, drawing himself nearer, trying to still his trembling limbs. "I will do for you as you command, whatever your wishes."
He spoke with the conviction of a true slave, one who found joy in the act of submission, and something about the purity of his words could perhaps strike a chord in the right ears -- one of pity, loathing, or opportunity, perhaps, but a chord all the same.

Taiyou tilted her head to one side, curious about the tone in his voice. "And why is that? I certainly don't mind, but I'm curious..." She mutters, nuzzling his splotchy pelt with her muzzle before sitting back again. She didn't seem particularly cruel to him, just a little playful and mischievous was all. She thought these males were so cute with their dainty figures and quiet way of talking. Every once in awhile she liked to stir one up, but for the most part she just liked being with them and getting them to be more comfortable around her.

"Because it is my duty," he replied, and nuzzled back against her almost reflexively. She was warm, he noted, and that was pleasant. "The pack provides my safety and my well-being, and in return I offer what comforts I can to the Sisters."
It could have been sexy; it was certainly sensual, his uncommonly soft fur pressing against hers, the warmth of his body and his soft voice. But somehow, his advances lacked conviction.
Still, somehow he felt comfortable around her, or at least as comfortable as he ever felt. "You are new to the pack," he said, venturing to speak as boldly as he could manage. "And new to its ways....does your new life please you?"

Taiyou can't help but chuckle at the male wolf's timidness. She supposed she'd buck him up a little before she was through, since he was just so gosh darn cute to her. She rubbed her head against him, her ears flat and her eyes half closed. He was very soft....Which she wasn't used to. In her old Pack the males had been rugged and hard, practically uncaring as the ice they lived next to. "I suppose it does. It's much more cushy than I've ever seen. Not that it's easy, but you get what I mean..." She says quietly, sort of beginning to think she liked him a little bit.

"You're unaccustomed to having slaves," he offered, and smiled. "Or was it something else, that made it different at your old pack?"
He was warming up a bit. Truth be told, Iosef was not a meek wolf; he simply knew his place, and was not over-eager to transcend his boundaries. So long as his masters were kind -- and in Antianeira, they tended to be so -- he was delighted to do for them as they desired. In an odd sort of way, his position was one of power. He prided himself, after all, on being the most skilled of the slaves, or at least the most loyal. In his eyes, at least.

"Yes that and...The males in my old Pack were brutal, and usually didn't stop to chat unless they were planning battle strategies or the like..." She responds, her voice still low. She looked like she was enjoying herself with the simple cuddling, since it had been a good amount of time since she'd been able to do this with another wolf. For all her huff and bluster, she'd never been with a male like this before and had never mothered any pups of her own. So she was a little awkward in her movements as she licked at the back of his ears, or just pressed herself up against him. Her movements didn't necessarily mean she wanted him as a mate at this moment, but of one who was starved for physical contact and attention.

"That's unfortunate," he said, and meant it. He tried to imagine a pack like that; it seemed very bleak and unwelcoming. He laid his chin across the back of her neck, his soft warmth pressed against hers. "In truth, most here are not as...accommodating...as you," he ventured. Something about her manner was making him bold. "I appreciate your kindness." He wondered if Penthesilea knew of this female's weakness, and what she thought of it; but he would never say a word, not in a century. Iosef was very good at keeping secrets. Which reminded him...."I never had the chance to ask your name, m'lady?"

Taiyou sighed softly as he laid his chin across the back of her neck. The tip of her white tail wagged lazily back and forth, her eyes half closed in enjoyment. She blinked sleepily, the sun still on her back and warming them both even as their fur brushed against each others. She tilted her head slightly to one side and gave him a little lick at the base of his jaw. The tension in her muscles slowly eased away, and she briefly wondered why she felt so calm around this male.
She'd almost fallen asleep when he asked her name and she blinked her eyes open with an effort. "My name is Taiyou. And what is yours?" She asks, a slight purring sound in her voice.

"Iosef," he replied, and his brow furrowed; her affection baffled him, as did the attention she returned to him. He was walking a fine line, comfort on one side, the terrifying unknown on the other, and his thoughts were ablaze. He was careful not to show anything in his action. He must keep his secret...."But you may call me whatever you wish, Lady Taiyou."

"Mrm, Iosef is fine..." Taiyou responds, her eyes fully closed now as she presses herself against him, wanting more of that comfort she'd been deprived of for practically all her life. In her old pack life had been harsh, and if you weren't harsh in return then you didn't survive. Even as a pup she'd never gotten much attention at all, but had been drilled the day she'd opened her eyes to hunt and defend herself. She recognized that this was necessary, but it still didn't make it easier to accept. She felt Iosef tense slightly against her, and she flicked her ears back at him and made a quiet questioning sound. "Am I making you uncomfortable?" She asks, wondering if she was maybe overreacting to just the slightest change in his body position.
