[PRP] Cure for Boredom (No Mercy x Tilt)

Tipping the balance took a step. Quiet and calm. Another. She was gaining on her prey. There was a crack, and the snake fled. She cursed her luck, lounging around the swamp. Maybe the mask was a hindrance, she thought, but she didn't want to remove it. It made her feel braver and ready for anything. Perhaps she would happen by another kin on her hunt and give them a good scare. She really hoped for that more than she hoped to actually hunt down anything.

She mulled over her next step while she pulled out flowers by thier roots. She was officially bored with nothing to hunt and no one around. She sighed, wandering a ways off to a body of murky water to splash around and maybe find some fish.

“What are you wearing on your face?” A male voice demanded from solid ground. No Mercy stood watching the doe, his tail swishing and his body constantly shifting or twitching, as if staying still was simply impossible. But his gaze, at least, was intent and unmoving. “Come closer and show me.”

The buck had been traveling alone, in a self-imposed exile; existing in a state of constant anger, his rage always growing. But, that emotion had stilled for the moment, as he was overcome by a boyish curiosity.

Tilt was taken from her splashing about in the water to be greeted by a buck. Greeted wasn't really the word, but he was still there, talking to her. She smiled, replying to the question about her mask. "It's a mask, can't you tell?" She took her time before deciding to come over to him. She splashed a bit, then pranced over, looking over the twitchy buck.

She wished she had been able to get the upper hand on the buck and scared him senseless, but it wasn't the time to regret this meeting. Someone was here to finally play with her! She smiled, still a little distance between them. "Did you want a better look?" She laughed with a tilt of her head to show off the mask.
