Bishop: *blinkblink* o.o *wags his tail slowly*
Moxii: -ears pull back and she throws herself low to the ground, nervous- W-Who are you?
Bishop: *spots the femme and lowers his own head and ears* Bishop...and yourself?
Moxii: -stammers, averting her gaze to his paws- Moxii...of Akiiki Chibale. They'll come looking for me, you know! -tries to be brave and bluff her way through, her mind laughing at her-
Bishop: *brown eyes look around for others* Are you lost? *tilts his head* I've never heard of Ak...Akiiki Chibale before. I've only ever known my own family...and...they weren't much of a family. *tries to put on a smile and wag his tail a little in attempts to be friendly*
Moxii: N-No. Not lost. -doesn't meet his eyes- I'm on an adventure! A big one! -puffs herself up and glances upwards, then darts her eyes away once more, tail tucking. Geez girl, look at yourself, cowering like a puppy! Such a puppy, her mind chided-
Bishop: *perks up a little and perks his ears* An...adventure, I've never been on one of those. *grins and wags his tail* What kind of adventure...maybe...maybe I can come with you. *wirggles a bit like an oversized puppy*
Moxii: -takes a breath, trying to will bravery upon her -- god he wasn't trying to kill her! What was her problem?- Um. I just needed to g-get away from home for awhile, so I went on an adventure. So... -ears p***k forwards just a little-
Bishop: *shifts his eyes a bit* Guess I'm on an adventure then too...but I'm not going back. My family is insane, I think I'm the only normal one out of the bunch..just got lucky I guess. *shrugs with a heavy sigh but perks back up* I...I could accompany if you like, Moxii, maybe give you some company....traveling alone is well...lonely.
Moxii: -heart leaps into her chest - if he was from a family of insanity, who knew what kind of skeletons were hiding in his closet!- Normal? How do you know? -not subtle at all- I mean...no voices in your head? -small nervous smile- And...um... -did she lead him back home? he seemed so...innocent...- You can c-come with me, I guess... -her mind smirked; there ya go girlie-
Bishop: Well...my mom is two in one...there's Cheshire..and *pauses with a cringe* Queen. My father is in love with this 'Queen' woman and she's evil...my brother hears voices...the other sees things...my sister is just the same. *shakes his head* I don't hear things, see things...nothing. *sneezes a little in laughter and wags his tail at the allowance to come along* I'll... I'll be your body guard. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise. And I'm a good enough hunter...*winks at her and grins, he finally had a sort of purpose rather than just wandering about mindlessly*
Moxii: -glances up at him as he speaks- Crazy then... -small giggle escapes her and she bites it back, pulling her ears back once more, hoping he wouldn't judge her for that- I'm sorry... -whispers, then perks up, beginning to walk along, still low to the ground- Body...guard? Why would you guard me? You don't even know me?
Bishop: *shakes his head* Yeah...I think crazy is the best way to explain them. Don't worry about it, I told myself that a lot when I was little. I spent as much time away from my family as I could, maybe that's why I'm...sane. *follows after her tail held high and proud, why protect her...wasn't that what males did?* Well...isn't that what a male does when they travel with a female is protect them? And, well...I dunno, it just seems like the right thing to do. Unless you don't want me to.. *docks his ears a bit*
Moxii: -looks at him, actually meets his gaze, and offers the slightest of smiles...he was kinda cute, in a boyish way...she'd never met another pink wolf outside her brothers' markings. No. No. Not cute. She shakes head head at her mind's cruel way of working and pads on ahead- You're fine, Bishop... -Bishop. She liked the name, even. No, bad Moxii!- So other than straying from your crazy familylands, what do you do? You know...all alone?
Bishop: Well...nothing much really...I've met very few other wolves...I had a run in a good long time ago with a red femme..but it was short and I never saw her again. I've just kinda been fending for myself and finding my own path...though I haven't had a lot of luck with that because I have no idea where I'm headed or...what I'm looking for, I guess just..waiting for something to come along. *grins at her, feeling a faint spark run through him when their eyes had finally met. He'd never felt anything like that before, but he liked it, bounding ahead of her, momentarily bumping his hip against hers as he passed*
Moxii: -as he bumped up against her, she froze and bit back a cry of worry -- attack! her mind yelled, but it wasn't...it was playful... Feeling foolish, she drops her head again- S-Sorry. I'm...skittish. I've always been a bit highstrung. -smiles faintly, ears pulled back- So you're looking for a pack then? Or are you destined to live your life a rogue?
Bishop: *turns back and lowers his head and little* No, it's fine, it's my fault...I was just trying to..lighten the mood. *wags his tail and smiles at her* well...I don't really know...I can't say I wouldn't mind finding a pack...maybe even someone to stay with as a mate...I mean...roaming about Telk has been interesting, I'll admit, you see a lot of amazing things. But well...you grow tired of being alone pretty quick. I've been pretty much alone all my life, it'd be nice to know what it's like to be around others. *tenderly nudges at her a little, carefully* I promise I'm harmless..maybe...you can show me what it's like to be with others and I can help you be less...strung up.
Moxii: -as his tail wags, she finds hers uncoils from her underbelly to wag gently as well, a smile lighting up her gray eyes- I like to roam, there's no rules. I don't like rules very much... -wrinkles her nose a little- They're so...constraining. -small laugh- So...I spend alot of time on the boundary line of my pack, just exploring. One time, when I was a puppy, I went cave-exploring with a boy... I was excited but it was so scary... -remembers with a shiver- I didn't think we'd ever get out... I'd like to visit that place again...someday. -looks to him, almost coyly -- her? coy?!- Wanna come with me sometime?
Bishop: *nods, roaming did have it's benefits that was for sure...but still the lack of companionship could be almost painful at times, but at the talk of a cave he was immediately intrigued, he'd ever been in a cave before, unless one counted the dug out holes bears lived in, be he hardly believed they counted* Jeezu, sounds like a real adventure to me, I've never been in a cave...it sounds excitiing! *brown eyes light up at the idea of going with Moxii* I'd love to go with you to see the cave. Maybe this time it won't be so scary, being bigger and all, things seems a lot bigger when you're small.
Moxii: -pauses and looks at him, knowing she was getting closer to Akiiki lands- Almost there. How about...you come stay the night in our lands -- Alas won't have a problem with it as long as you don't like...murder someone -giggle- But we could go off in the morning to find the caves? -finds she's actually...hopeful-
Bishop: *lights up and wriggles* Sounds good to me...long as no one tries to kill me we'll be good, but that sounds amazing. *runs in a circle happily, it was like he'd found a friend, a real friend and he was gonna go on a real adventure for the first time in his life.* Morning though, I'm glad they won't mind me...like i said though, I'm harmless...except to prey...them I'm their worst nightmares. *gives a playful growl and then sniffs at the air, scenting the others nearby, amazed at how many scents blended together, more than he ever could have imagined* Yeah...I like it...
