Violet eyes peered around that which lay around him. In the rouge lands everything and anything could happen. But where had she gone to? She was just behind him! Hmpph. He flopped onto the ground for a moment, taking a few laps from a puddle of clear water. SO hot today! It was nice to travel sometimes, especially not alone. Though Mugen wished his wings would spread from his body, so he could fly today.
Mugen thought he could fly.
He had dreamt of flying, but thought his dreams were actual situations, though he didn't believe that when anyone told him they were just dreams, Standing up again he ran around in a few circles, watching the wings upon his back just...sit there.
Why wouldn't they spread out today?!

*The tribal marked female sat about five feet from the crazed male. Her neon hued eyes softly narrowed as she gazed at her friend’s odd actions. Eira was nothing like him, she was quite and bitter… Mugen on the other hand was full of life and dreams; they were like dark and light, yin and yang. Softly she female puffed out her chest and frowned at him, before speaking.*
“What on earth are you doing?”
*She called out to him with twitching ears. The tribal markings upon her face softly wrinkled as she cocked her head to one side, eyeing at him widely. She couldn’t understand him, though she knew him better then anyone else… she couldn’t get into that crazy mind of his. With a soft sigh she lifted herself up and padded closer to him.*
”Mugennnn…”
*She mumbled shifting her weight slightly. He was running in circles… Eira was so lost and confused, why did he have to be so hard to understand? Eira hated males, and she didn’t understand why she even liked being around him… whatever it was… it kept her closer then she liked to be.*

Mugen was still runing in circles when he stopped, right leg in mid air, his eyes watching her but he didn't move, he was frozen in place as if they were playing a game of freeze tag. "There you are Eira!" he said with a smile, still not physically moving yet his tail was wagging in a fast pace. "Trying to fly again...but they won't move," he sad in a saddened tone, nosing his back where the wing marking was. Then he stood straight up, stretched and padded over closer to her, tail still wagging.
Eira was such a funny female to Mugen, but they ahd known each other so long, he felt like she was his other half, the smarter half. She completed him in an odd way, but he wouldn't tell her, he was afraid she'd laugh and think of him even more crazy then he already appeared.
He also loved it when she said his name...in a strange way.
"What would you like to do today Eira? Go running, relax? Oh! I can go get something for you to eat Eira if you want!" he always wanted ehr to be happy, no matter what he ahd to do. He wanted to keep her close. He had no other family other then her, she was his best friend, and he was deathyl afraid of losing her.

“By god boy, you can not fly! Stop acting so strangely, you could hurt yourself.”
*She snapped at him, but not in a way that would make her seem upset with him, no… she wasn’t mad. She was simply frustrated with him right now. He always did this- he always wanted to fly… he was a dog, he couldn’t fly, why didn’t he understand that? With a soft sigh she gave him a dull smile and looked away while speaking.*
“Mmm… I do not know.”
*As she spoke her ears pinned back. Eira was never good with being put on the spot; she didn’t know how to react. She wanted to do something but she didn’t know what. With a slow wagging tail she glanced back at him and questioned.*
“What do you want to do?”

Mugen stopped and sat back where he was. Folding his ears back, an apologetic and sad expression on his face for a few moments,
"I'm...I'm sorry Eira...I won't do it again..." a soft sigh escaped his throat. He wished he could fly, then she would see, and wouldn't get mad at him anymore. He wanted to crawl in a hole, he felt so bad for making her angry, he hated having ehr angry at him.
Eira was all he had.
His ears raised back to their noraml state and he stood up, his tail swaying back and forth, a slower motion form before,
"DO you want to um....go for a walk? Maybe to that watering hole?" he asked, pointing with his right paw.
"It is awfully hot out Eira, the water might be nice," he said with a smile. Trying to make her smile and be happy. He liked it when she smiled, he always felt good when she smiled when she was around him.

“Mugen… do not look so upset, okay? I’m not mad at you.”
*Eira’s tail softly batted from side to side as he spoke, she listened to what he had to say most of the time.*
“A walk to the watering hole… alright then.”
*She nodded with a faint smile. Her white paws softly pushed along the dry earth as she padded past him with a grin. As she passed his form she kicked up at his muzzle playfully and dashed away from him.*
“If… you can catch me.”
*With that the female dog winked at him and quickly took off in front of him, making her way down to the old water hole.*

"I'm not mad I'm-" he watched as she walked past him, touched his muzzle then ran off, winking at him. "Eira wait!" he called as he tore off after her. He could see the watering hole in the distance as it was closing in fast, but she was still so far head.
He closed his eyes while he was running, legs pumping against the ground, concentrating on his back,"please, please let me do this...let me ctach her this time..." while his eyes were closed in his mind he could see ings spreading, his body feeling lighter.
Opening his eyes he saw he was catching up to Eira, his tongue hanging outside his mouth a little. He was doing it! But he was going too fast, if she stopped at the edge of the water, he was going to run right into ehr, and both of them would fall into the water.
Oh well, elast he'd catch her this time.

*As he gained speed Eira slowed and without any thought stopped herself at the edge of the water hole. He would never have her… he could never keep up with her. Eira wondered if he even wanted to keep up with her… she was nothing out of the norm after all.
With a soft pant she slowly pulled her gaze back and gasped. He was just a few inches away from her before she felt her body jerk to the side and with a splash both male and female fell right into the murky waters.
Eira’s perfectly cleaned white fur now turned a brown hue as she gasped and lifted her head out of the water. Mugen was still pinned against her body as she wiggled herself, trying to get free.*

He was getting closer and closer, he could feel his heart throb in his chest as he got closer...and...oh crap. He tried to skid to a halt but slammed into her, his right side near his ribs ached before they went splashing into the water. It was cold, colder then normal. Perhaps it was that and he was afraid Eira was going to yell at him again.
Mugen forced himself up, the white of his pelt having a soft tinge to it,
"I'm so sorry Eira! I'm sorry!" His craned his neck over to lift her head from the water, not even caring his nose had water leaking into it now.
"I'm so sorry! Please...please don't hate me Eira I-I can fix it see!?"
He traced his tongue over her shoulder, trying to get the brown out of her pelt. Her pelt was one of the defining characteristic of Eira, and he loved that. His tail wasn't moving, ears back as he tried to clean ehr shoulder off. She was going to be mad, she'd hate him...the world was going to end.
Mugen just knew it.

“Ohh! Just stop it!”
*Eira yelled with a soft gasp, kicking herself up. She slowly pulled herself past him and jerked her way out of the dirty waters. She was so filthily- and she smelt of dead fish! This was awful… just awful… but she couldn’t stay mad at him. With a deep sigh the female stood dripping wet… she eyed him with a frown and looked him over left to right. He was acting like the world was coming to an end… that was so something he would do.
Sighing deeply Eira jerked her head from side to side, trying to free herself from the muck that clung to her fur. She wasn’t mad… she wasn’t mad- she kept telling herself before she gave in and softly gave him a look of understanding.*
“Come on, get up and come over here...”
*As she called for him Eira sat herself down and started to lick at her left paw. It would take hours to clean this mess.*

Mugen watched ehr get up, and peered over to her with sad eyes when she called to him, he knew she was mad. It was something he could know, they had known each other so long, and he was always the one that did something wrong and caused havoc and made her mad...thats why he was afraid to tell her how he really felt.
Things weren't easy.
Pushing himself up he padded over to her out of the water and flopped down beside her, watched her start cleaning her paw, there was more sticky stuff on her left ear too. He had some on his paws, but he didn't care. But his fur was drying, and the water seemed to not make them look dirty at all...just the muk did.
He wanted her happy.
"Lemme help Eira...it was my fault..." he said gently as he leaned over and licked at her ear. It tasted horrible, but it was almost gone....there. Now it was gone. He curled his tail around himself and watched her, waiting, case she wanted any help or anything.
He'd be there.

*She gave him a smile as he cleaned her ear, it was a nice gesture. Shifting herself Eira pushed her fore paws onto his back and pulled him down to the ground. She held him there and spoke.*
“Do that to me again and I will hurt you.”
*Her tone was soft… and looking. She was not too bitter at him, but she was bitter to say the least. Slowly she started licking at his fur, cleaning him like a mother would to a small pup. Eira didn’t like to see herself dirty and she didn’t like to see those that were in the company of her dirty, so she would clean him up… she really didn’t mind it too, she loved grooming.*
“So you want to fly still, after so many years of trying… why?”
*She asked between licks, moving her tongue along his forehead as she rested her paws upon his neck side, using them to prop herself up right.*

His ears pekred up and he smiled. "I'll be mroe careful next time Eira I promise," his tail uncurled from around him and wagged against the ground, making an indent where it swayed back and forth. Mugen was glad she seemed happy that he helped her, he wanted her to be happy, not too mad...though it seemed she was. But it would pass, it would always pass.
His ears fell back slightly, not in sadness but in a blushing manner as she started to help clean him up, it was nice, he made sure to remember it.
"Yes...I think I'm supposed to well like....meant to fly..." he spoke as if it were true, set in stone, that he was suppsoed to have wings, spread them adn soar among the clouds. As her tongue traced over his forehead he smiled at her gently, "Wouldn't you like to fly someday Eira?" perhaps one day they could fly away together.

*At his words Eira’s pears pinned back slowly; she was never really kind to others… but she seemed to be with him. She licked him like she would a small pup… maybe that was why she was able to be around him so often… because to her they were puppies, long time friends… or something along those lines.
But she still couldn’t grasp his longing to fly... she couldn’t really relate, due to never thinking about such things. Eira was a hunter… she was strong and swift… she had never taken the time to enjoy nature… or the skies like Mugen did. She was… not like him.
Slowly she pulled herself back and brushed herself off, twisting her body from side to side, flicking most of the access water off of her white coat. Her neon colored eyes softly narrowed as she sighed and sat a few feet away from him.*
“I do not understand.”
*She stated with a faint nod, a frown crossing over her face. The markings upon her face wrinkled once more as she looked down at her paws.*
“I wouldn’t know if I wanted to fly nor, I have never thought about such things. We are dogs, we can not fly… we are not birds, we are not the wind, and we can not fly.”

Mugen liked the type of relationship he and Eira had so far. But he did want it to be more, but he was so afraid, just like a littel pup. Perhaps one day, yes one day he would msuter up enough courage to tell her how he felt, to ask her to fly away with them to their own place.
Thats how he flied...by imagination.
He tilted his head to the side as he listened to her words, she didn't understand, but that was just fine. One day he would show her, how it felt like to feel like you were flying, he always felt like he was flying when he ran with her, either hunting or just for fun. He would fly away. Far far away, but she'd always be there.
"Seems Eira is right then...someday it could change though... someday I will show you Eira," he said gently, tail wagging, this was nice, tension broken now.
