Zihna - Adolescent Female German Shepherd Dog
Satinka - Female Coyote
Felix - Adolescent Male Fox
--------
The sun is setting, and all is quiet and peaceful...a bird tweets, a squirrel shuffles along a branch, the world is beautiful and silent. Until, all at once its not. Sound and movement explode' all at once, first a rabbit bursts from the brush, closely followed by the black and brown blur that is Zihna, the birds tweets turn to caws of alarm, and the squirrel chatters noisily and hides. The chase lasts for only a short moment before the rabbit is trapped and hangs limp in the dog's jaws. Hey, ya gotta eat.
Satinka is laying down in front of the den. She then blinks as she sees a dog chasing a rabbit and manages to catch it. She remains silent as she watchs the dog and thinks (that is something you don't see everyday.) Then looks around to see if Rye is anywhere nearby. As she does not see him she looks back over at the dog and watchs her.
Rabbit, rabbit, nom, nom? Of course, Zihna doesn't enjoy killing the prey at all, but the thrill of the chase has always excited her. Her hunting technique is more calculated then the average wild dog; some things you just can't unlearn, and the humans instilled a very sucessful survival mechanism in her. They didn't know that when they did it, but, hey. It works. Turning, Zi notices Satinka and pales instantly, dropping the rabbit. "Um, ah, so...hello, there, I - ah - I'm Zihna, we h-haven't met I - sorry if I, ah, tresspass or..." no matter how many times she hears that its 'ok' for her to be there, she still shamefully tucks tail to new aquaintices.
Felix has taken to enjoying thanking the prey for giving up its life for him, but to each his or her own. And where is the fox? Lazily sleeping just outside his den, of course!
Satinka blinks and then smiles over at the dog, "Well it seems you are aware of your surroundings. It did not take long for you to notice me. Well anyways it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Satinka." Then looks and sees Felix is sleeping right now. Then looks back over at the dog.
She seems friendly but...then again, they all do at first. But there is also something familiar about Satinka...she can't place it immediatly, but it's there. "Er...thanks, ma'm." She looks down to the kill at her paws. "Do you want some of this?" she paws the limp creature hopefully - she couldn't eat a whole rabbit anyway. Bristle could always mooch off the rest, she supposes. She notices Felix in the corner of her eye and makes a note to lower her voice to keep him sleeping...fox sleeps like a rock if he slept through her chase. Props to him.
Felix does indeed sleep liek a rock, but his ear twitches when he starts to hear someone talking about him. Not that he's selfish or anything, but he does like when people talk about him.
Satinka looks over at Zihna and smiles at her. "Thanks but I already ate. Hmm so anyways how long have you been out in the wild?" As she looks around the place and wonders if there might be someone looking for Zihna.
Keeping her voice lowered Zihna nods and settles politely onto her haunches. "Er...I've lost track of the time. I was smaller, just leaving the puppy stage." She self-conciously shakes herself, jangling the collar. "They're far away though, you won't find them near here." Plus, jokes on them. They lost a valuable asset. Ha. Ha. Ha. But why did this coyote look so...Oh. "Do you know Bristlecone?" She asks, a little randomely. They look related...awksauce.
Satinka blinks as she looks over and sees Felix is starting to wake up. She looks back over at Zhina and tries not to laugh but a snicker escapes from her. "Do I know Bristlecone? I better know him since I am his mother." Then looks back over at Felix for a second then back to Zihna. "Well it looks like Felix is finally waking up."
MAJOR AWKSAUCE. Frozen dog. She's turned into a dogsicle. Okay, stay calm Zi. "O-Oh, thats nice. He's a v-very nice young coyote. Friendly and, er, welcoming." Quick, distraction! OH, FELIX! "Morning, sexy." She calls over, way over cheery and laughing nervously. Its every girlfriend's worst nightmare. Especially interspecies girlfriends.
"Not to mention my best friend." Felix says as he saunters their way. "Good morning, everyone."
Satinka grins and chuckles some at the way Zhina is acing. As she then nods at her. "I did raise Bristlecone to be friendly and nice. We even have a couple hares we are friends with and a couple of skunks and even a swan. Hmm speaking of swan. I sure hope she is doing okay. Now lets see if I can recall her name. Oh yes it was Aolani."
Cue eye twitch. "Yes, ah, good - good morning indeed! A fine, fine morning...lovely morning, very pretty. Rabbit?" She offers to the fox, smile forced, but relaxing as Satinka shifts the conversation to swans and skunks and other things. She phews - how can she be sure that this mother would approve? Maybe she's not all for dog/coyote love. Then again, something about a forbidden romance is rather appealing... "I -ah- don't know any of them. Just the foxes, I've met the foxes. There are a /ton/ of foxes here, yes. Like Felix! Felix is nice, Felix I like." Mmkay, girlfran, you need to calm. Yourself. Down.
Felix looks absolutely happy to hear this. "Oooh, you like me?" This makes his week!
Satinka smiles and giggles some at Zihna. "It is very nice to see Bristlecone is making friends." Then looks over at Felix and smiles at him. As she jokingly says. "I see you decided to join the land of the living sleepyhead."
"Of course I like you, Felix. You are a ray of foxy sunshine on a cloudy day...Rabbit?" Heh, making friends...you could call it that. Poor Zihna...poor petrified little Zihna. "Yes I - ah - see where he gets his good looks!" Well, that was supposed to be a compliment but comes out all...like that. "I mean - you two look very similiar he - ah - has your fur!" If there was a desk, she'd be pounding her head monotonely against it.
Felix is too lost being like Braxton to notice. "Wow. I'm a ray of foxy sunshine."
Satinka chuckles as she sees the way Felix is behaving. Then looks back over at Zhina and smiles at her. As she wonders why she is behaving so strangely then decides that must be the way dogs are. "I sure hope you can one day meet Yoki and Lucido. Those are the two hares and the skunks are Nodin and Mitena."
"On a cloudy day, yes. Rabbit?" Zihna agrees, offering rabbit for the last time and finally beginning to swallow the panic. "I hope so as well." Guiltily, she looks to the dead hare at her paws, hoping to every god there is that she isn't eating a friend of Bristle's mom. Breathe in, breathe out. In. Out. Calm. "So you -ah- lived here long?"
Satinka grins. Then looks over at Zihna and tilts her head some. "So where did you learn to hunt rabbits like that? Did Bristlecone teach you? Also it is a good thing it was a rabbit and not a hare. A hare is a lot more sneakier and will even stoop to using skunks to get away from you."
"Ah, no, Bristlecone didn't teach me. When I was a pet dog for the humans they used me to chase down other humans they didn't like. I never quite understood it, and I never did it out in the real world, only in the paddock. But its the same basic choreography." She looks nervously over to Felix, then back to the coyote and over into the brush. She could be nervous around this female forever, or she could spit out the nasty truth and be done with it - possibly running for her life. But she's good at running. "Er, so, I have something to -ah- tell you..." Taking a deep breath, it all pours out at once. "Ikissedyoursonandnowwe'relikedatingishandall...and, er, I'm not normally this nervous but you're his mom and please don't make me leave..."
Satinka smiles and chuckles some at Zihna. "Well just be glad you are not doing with wolves. I do not know if this is true and maybe it is a rumor. But wolves they seem to not like dogs that much and think dogs betrayed there heritage. Some even say there would have been no dogs it there were no wolves. But I have no idea if that is true."
Zihna,ears pinned back, ers nervously. "So...you're not angry or against it?" Honestly, she couldn't tell. There was a chuckle...but of acceptance or derision? And then some talk about wolves...she lost the nervous dog. "I, er, I don't think I stole anyone's heritage..."
Satinka looks over at Zihma amd gigglrs some. "I have heard wolves say days betrayed their ancestors. By making friends with the two leggers a long time ago. So are wolves really the ancestors to dogs? Or is that just a rumor? Since some dogs do look like wolves and some don't look like wolves at all."
What did that have to do with /anything/? Now Zihnas' just confused. "I don't know, I wasn't raised around other dogs or wolves so I never got the stories." She replies, deciding its best to humor the older female. "I'm still not sure where you stand on the whole...dog-coyote thing...I mean, your son isn't a wolf so none of that really pertains..."
Satinka grins and nods at Zihna. "Well if it is true. Those wolves probaly would not like it. I wish there was someone around that would know. Well anyways I have no problems with you and my son."
Oh, sweet relief, thou art a mother coyote. "Oh good, thank you ma'm!" Her tail gives its first wag of the conversation and she visibly relaxes. "Good to hear it, good to hear it...I mean, don't get me wrong the whole 'forbidden romance, star crossed lovers' thing sounds really hot and all but this is much, much easier." She grins, a real one this time, and pushes herself up to all fours. "I'm going to go find him and tell him...thanks again ma'm. See ya Felix!" She scoops up the rabbit[not hare] in her jaws and takes off for the scrub in search of a place to eat her dinner and kip down for the night.
