Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dire wolves really didn't know what they were missing in leaving the bones of a carcass behind. Akemi, while capable of taking down her own prey, would treat herself to the canine's kills when she stumbled upon them. The bone marrow was amazing and she could sit for hours with the skeleton of the animal, breaking apart the thicker bones and licking out the insides. It didn't work too well if the kill was very old, but thankfully the one she had just found was fresh, if the ripe smell of dire wolves was anything to say.

Akemi had broken through quite a few bones already and was getting a bit full on the marrow, but she didn't move. The sun was out and there was no snow on the ground where the prey had fallen, so she enjoyed the break from the cold and wet that she was used to. A little cat nap wouldn't hurt anyone, right? Right.

Stretching out, one large paw over the skull of the dead beast, she let her eyes slide closed to doze lightly. No one would bother a sleeping sabor, she was sure.

Akemi was granted only a few minutes of delicious sleep before something interrupted her nap. She didn't bother to open her eyes right away as the smell and sound of a male met her nose and ears, but when the confident guy sat down next to her, touching her...she had to look at him. Who would possibly have the nerve to disturb her slumber and call her, of all things, doll face?

An attractive male, that's who. She didn't let any indication of being impressed reach her expression, though. Yes, he was very handsome and if she had to have someone sitting next to her, he'd do just fine, but she still wasn't pleased about the invasion of space and the nickname he'd decided to give her. She locked her eyes on the male's, holding his gaze for a few moments, before extending one strong hind leg to shove him away from her.

"Yes, in fact, I do. Go find your own kill," she growled, not afraid to bare her teeth at him. She nap and feast had been disturbed, after all. She had every right to be upset.

Akemi raised a brow as the male continued to exude confidence. Usually a snarl was enough to send them running. If she didn't initiate the flirting, she generally didn't want anything to do with them. Had she been in a different mindset, perhaps the male would have been suitable for a bit of playful banter before leaving him, but this...ugh. It was horrible. Even if he was very charming.

"Well, you thought wrong," she informed him bluntly. "Terribly sorry to disappoint you." The tone of her voice was dripping with sarcasm as she spoke, making it perfectly clear that she was not sorry at all. "Now if you'd continue on your way, I have a nap to finish, and that certainly doesn't involve you anywhere in the area. "

That done, she turned her back to the male and rested her head on her paws. She didn't close her eyes though, just in case he tried any more funny business.

Akemi growled in annoyance as the male didn't quite get the message. Stars above, was he deaf? Perhaps, she reasoned with herself. Deaf to what he didn't want to hear. She lifted her head as he changed his angle, an amused look on her face at his attempts to get her to see his 'beauty'. She certainly saw it, but with that kind of attitude? It put a damper on it, certainly. That and she wasn't one to admit to liking anything unless she was the one to state it first, without persuasion.

"Listen. What was your name? Thickskull?" she guessed, letting her claws knead the rib bone still between her front paws. "The most attractive thing to me right now is my nap that you so rudely interrupted. Do you really think there's any chance of me being attracted to you after that? No. In case you can't actually think, which seems to be the case. Either that or your deaf."

She glared at him just a bit, narrowing her eyes just slightly. "Oh....I know your type," she murmured, finally getting a hint as to his antics. "You're one of those...studs, aren't you? Finding any girl weak-willed enough to take advantage of. You honestly think you'll win me over like that? Disgusting."

The male's boldness made Akemi stare at him in mild surprise, but mostly annoyance. Usually creatures got the message when she told them to stay away from her. Despite the horribly irritating factor the male had, his perseverance was, if anything, interesting. Why did he want her for his harem? Surely there were lots of other pretty females out there that would get the job done, so to speak.

The bet intrigued her despite herself. She hummed quietly as she thought, dark eyes peering at him thoughtfully. She had no doubts she would win, even if he turned out to be quite the charmer. Akemi was confident in her own abilities to resist temptation, especially if there was something to be gained for it. He was handsome, after all, and to have him at her beck and call would be quite amusing.

"And what must I do for this month? Allow you to...what, exactly? Do I have to follow you with your hoard, or will you isolate yourself from them to give all of your attention to me?"

Akemi tried not to snort, but she failed. This guy was a riot, that much was certain. Hey, no one had ever tried to win her over with humor before, although she wasn't sure that's what he was going for.

"All right, Thickskull," she said, using the nickname she had given him. "I'll let 'you do you' for one month. And I'll give you some time now to go run and tell your little girl friends that they won't be seeing you again."

He wasn't the only confident one around here.

Akemi snorted softly and watched Nightlife walk off, his small tail wiggling happily. Oh, he was in for a ride, she thought to herself as she settled down once again to lick some of the marrow out of the bone she had in her paws. It was such a shame he'd have to lose.
