Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chemosh was hunting this morning, it was part of an early routine for the young male. He had decided early on in life that if he was going to rule he had to have a set schedule to go about it. He had already feasted upon a small hare and some unsuspecting doves he had found poking around the new grass. Soon Spring would come and he would have even MORE tasty things to hunt, a sharp smile stretched upon his snaky face. Joy.

He was just cleaning himself of the remaining dove feathers (cleanliness is key you know) when he caught the whiff of...death. It was something a hunter got used to, this smell, but this time it was different. It was mixed in with some sort of , perfume. Not actual perfume, like what the two leggers seemed to wear to attract mates, no no, this was....distinctly female.

He swished his shadowy tail eagerly and stalked towards the smells, drawn to them like a magnet, his long pink tongue flicking between his long fangs, scenting. He fond an appropriate shadowy patch upon a hill where below, the scent was nearly overwhelming and peered over the edge, his eyes tiny slits of ivory.

A mare INDEED! he fought the urge to make himself known then and there, but he was, for all his frippery, a crafty stallion and stayed put, examining the situation first. The mare was beautiful in a...deadly sort of way as he noticed a few things most casual glances would have missed. Firstly, her latest art piece used to be alive, he admired the work, while he wasn't particularly fond with playing with his food, to each their own. He then continued to notice the blood around her mouth and hooves, the torn finery, the strange expression on her face.

His interests were CERTAINLY stirred! His long smile widened even further, it seemed like this day would not be without amusement AFTERALL.

He had been watching her closely, but perhaps not closely enough! He swiftly decided he had underestimated the delicate looking mare as soon as she sensed him, and even moreso when she, despite all natural causes of fight or flight, flew up to where he was. He turned to greet her,his lip curled into a crookedly charming grin, flashing a maw far larger than normal. Oh yes, she was a pretty one for sure, and interesting, he had no doubt about that, or that she would surprise him even further.

He could tell she was inspecting him, which was almost enough for him to guess that behind her icy glare and set jaw, that she had felt SOMETHING she wasn't showing. That was fine, he knew how to play that game as well, he may be a terrible charmer, but above all things he was intelligent and very very carefully, he would tip toe the lines between the two.

" Well" he murmured " that issssn't very nice" He chuckled darkly, his shadowy tail swishing slowly behind him, unhurried, not in the least perturbed by her show of anger. " I would lavish complimentsss upon a ssssight sssuch as you in the morning, but i have a feeling you would not accept them, am i right?" He grinned roguishly again "but then again~ morningsss aren't very nice to anyonesss...appearances"

He nodded his head in mock politeness " my name isss Chemosh, by the way~ and what may i call youuuu?"

Chemosh watched in smug satisfaction as she visibly became far more... agitated. He never lost is Glasgow grin, perhaps because he never really could, but this was just too amusing for him to pass up, so it only got wider and toothier. This girl acted like a princess, she sure looked like one but from everything he had picked out earlier plus the attitude? it just made the deal even sweeter for him, who would suspect such a pretty thing of bloodying poor animals and the fiery temper he was observing now? Exactly.

"Oh" he stated flicking his tail as if in boredom " well i'm glad to be right your highnessss" he smirked " do you alwayssss act like thisss when you get complimentsss from ssstrangersss? ssseems like a wassste to me~"

He laughed, his mouth open to reveal his enlarged maw of glittering fangs " Ohhhh~ you crack me up princessss" He narrowed his milky white eyes at her, for direction was the only way you could tell he was even looking at someone, and smirked yet again. "We can play thisss game all day, i do it all the time~ one insssult, then another~ it'sss a great game of witsss, but you and i know, that you're sssmart enough to know why i .....lisssp."

His long fangs glittered with wetness, out of most of his strange family, he was more aligned to snakes than anything else, even when soaked in the shadows. " Haha~ Sssophia Rossse~ what a...lovely becoming name." He purred, sliding over a bit through the shadows around them on l lest she actually came for him, but he figured she would be much too smart to come at him directly, for like a snake in the grass, he had his deadly fangsl always at the ready and even if she was quick, so was he. It would be a pity to kill such a beautiful creature.

He watched many colorful expressions dance over her face, this was interesting to him as well. " you're trying to be tough with me i ssseee~ well that'sss fine~" he sighed as if it pained him " normally mossst maresss dont give me sssuch...trouble~" he looked up then, his eyes glittered with an internal light " but mossst maress are jussst too boring to deal with anyway. You already know you're not."

He swished his shadowy tail back and forth, like an eager cat " we're both predatorsss in our own right ~ jusst the beautiful kind" he smirked, she was young and new at this, but as she grew older she would most likely become quite a bit MORE interesting...how lovely.

He watched her, now highly amused, oh she was a firecracker on hooves. All snarls and bouncing white curls, besides, he knew he was baiting her, there were several ways to woo mares, and this was one of the more hazardous ones. At this point he wasn't as interested in her as much as the range of expressions he was getting from her, if she hadn't been so serious he would have found it laughable. But it had been a loooong time since he had found someone this good looking to amuse him this much, it had also been a long time since a mare so blatantly rejected his...advances. He grinned crookedly, fate was a cruel mistress, but a woman none the less. He had made a vow that upon entering adulthood, he would not look for or dally with boring weak mares, and this one was faaaaar from that.

He chuckled at her comment and even winced a bit at her mockery of his snake like lisp. " Oh you're interesssting for sssure princessss, as for who you are~" he wrinkled his nose and stood his ground a handful of feet away from her in the deep shadow of a tree, his eyes fairly glowing. " If they can't deal with it, they're too boring for you...isssn't that right?" He smirked sharply " You could have left you know, been bored with me, not waassssted your anger...and yet here you are~ what doessss that sssay...princesssss? ARE you more than me?"

He goaded her, toyed with her, gave her silly nicknames, after all~ she HAD forbidden he speak her name under some pain...he would have not cared really, but they were playing this game, for good or bad.

He not only saw something snap, he felt it, like a cold chill running down his spine he watched her simply NOT CARE about what happened as she lunged at him, her pearly white teeth aimed right for some likely sensitive place. He hissed loudly, like a cobra ready to strike but he paused, and the slight hesitation to act got him a painful bite for it!

He shook her off and slipped quickly through the ring of shadows around, making a decent distance between them, but the damage was done, a delicate set of teeth marks set in his ebony skin. He wrinkled his nose at her, his eyes narrowed to dangerous slits but despite the sharp pain, a grin crept treacherously back onto his lips. " love bitessssss ey? i would grace you with the ssaaaame offer but...i doubt you'd live long enough to appreciate it princesssss..." He hissed through the pain, it wasn't a large wound, nor did it even bleed that much...but she had CERTAINLY surprised him, and for Chemosh...that was a first. He would do to watch her more carefully...

He watched her roll the meager amount of blood she had gotten off of him on her tongue, like some sort of candy...or drug, it seemed to instantly calm her down. Which was good and highly, unusual~ even for him.

He watched her through narrowed eyes, but calmly, the bite on his haunch barely bothered him, but something about her now really was, he didn't mind the "higher than thou" attitude she seemed to sport or her play at being cute. But he DID mind the unusual calm that she was in, hmmmm, it was worth further investigation.

His lips curled back into his normal snarky grin " why Princesss, you wound me, and quite litterally may i add! But no matter, it'ssss actually a pitty, that whole heart thing..." he winked at her, picking from shadow to shadow, circling. " perhapsss you'd prefer girlsss?" he chuckled darkly. " Then thisss would REALLY be hopelesss" He amused himself with the thought, his tail dancing behind him in the wind.

Then she asked the question and a dark smirk slunk over his face, like poison it infected every part of his expression until it was just deadly on a nice face. " What INDEED..." he hissed, baring the full length of his serpentine fangs. " Ssssee thisss Princesss? " had i given YOU a bite like that...you wouldn't be very beautiful anymore..."
He chuckled, amused at her efforts to make herself his better "aren't you lucky"

Chemosh chuckled darkly at her comment about her brother and pulled a sharp grin, this time almost devoid of the charm he had lavished upon her before. " Oooh~ Fiessssty~" he purred, rolling the words on his snaky tongue. But if that'sss the ladiesss wisssh~" he hissed, mock bowing to her, a curtain of dark curls falling over one of his pearly eyes. " Also, I would not know much of love as it isss...but i never ssssay i wont find it...at sssome point...jussst in cassse" He laughed a bit.

" Oh i have a sssick mind do i? well princessss, you're not a well of innocence yourssself...that isss very plain" he yawned, displaying a large set of needle sharp fangs. " And...in cassse you were wondering princesss...if you do that again...i WILL give you a little bite to remember me by, i may not kill you...yesss, you ARE quite interesssting...i'll give you that" as he spoke his eyes gleamed behind his raven black hair, opalescent and unreadable " i'll do my abssssolute besst to be...nice" he sneered, what would this little chickadee do next, he wondered.

He narrowed his milky eyes as her tone changed into a soft purring voice, one that stank of sneakiness. " Of coursssse not, you ssssimply LOOK innocent until folksss get a good look at you." He sneered as she tried to woo him, and he, though occasionally foolish with women, was no dumb stallion. He knew how to avoid such techniques, afterall, he used most of them himself!

He raised an eyebrow as she continued to sweeten her voice, her attitude pulling a complete one eighty...HIGHLY suspicious. He watched her carefully as she got closer, he curled his lip in warning, but nothing else. " Oh REALLY~ that'sss quite nice of you princessss, we are both predatorsss it lookss like...but should we REALLY be hunting one another? hmm?"
He held his breath as she came close to his nosetip, to his sharp fangs that could do such damage to that tender flesh...but she turned away. He exhaled and snorted slightly, he knew her game.

" Beauty isss in the eye of the beholder, and you may have noticed" he crooned " that my eyessss are thossse of a ssssnake" he laughed darkly, his voice deep and rich, poisoned chocolate. " but whatever you choosssse princess~ i AM disssappointed ,if that'sss what you want to hear" He swished his tail behind him " but sssimply becausse i'm loosssing interessst in sssuch a sssstiff mare~"
