not wanna tag, lmfao.
The nightfall had met him well, and his traveling came with a surprise. Kaworu was close now to his destination, the salt scent in the air sharp on his nose as he inhaled. Allowing the breeze to lead his movement he knew beyond these trees, it would not be too far now. Against the stark dark of Ravensblood he seemed to glow with what little moonlight caught the shimmer of his once well-groomed pelt. Before he had been perfectly brushed and straightened in the lap of his God, now his pelt carried treasures from the wild, a small brush of stray twigs and leaves clinging to the feathered fur beneath his stomach.
Despite the cling of nature dragging on his coat, it was habit that caused Kaworu to step so carefully among the trees. Every rogue sound set off in the forest served as a reminder, he was an outsider to this world. But such thoughts did not bother him, instead fueled by clearing the dark expanse of trees quickly and to leave them forgotten. A new wonder awaited him just beyond.
xD, I'm assuming its night? If not I can edit.
The ashen male had traveled far and wide but since joining Swiftcurrent Creek he had never ventured far from home. This time though, he went further than he had ever gone before at his time in the Creek and though worry nagged at his heart for the safety of his home, he felt free as he trotted through lands he had not explored yet.
Soon it was night and stars glittered across the black pelt and the crashing of waves told him he was close to the sea, the silver wolf walked forward to the edge of the seaside woodland until he could see the sea itself. It was full of deadly beauty, something that Shadow appreciated. He stood there as still as a rock, listening to the calming sounds of the waves.
Black tip of his tail flicking lazily.
yep yep it's night uwu
His passion was well rewarded. The perfume of the sea grew strong and his pace quickened, darting among the tilted trunks of the forest--the only barriers between him and what laid beyond. It was some time into his lope he saw the forest thin out, and his pace pulled back into a smooth careful gait gulping down air with a bout of panting before he found his composure once more.
Ears pricked, Kaworu welcomed the hushed sounds of waves crashing against the sand it lured him closer. And as he slid down to see the sea, he paused--he was not the only one to have chosen this path it seemed. Carefully and with silence, he observed the carved shoulders and broad back of the wolf at rest. He did not move forward, a beat spent between both animals before he roused himself to speak,
We were destined to meet.
What he saw as alien creature accepted his dominance between them swiftly and without complaint. Tall as he was, Kaworu walked with his head stooped low to the ground and it was that position he held, his feathered tail waving between his heels. He offered the mercury wolf a subtle smile grateful that he did not hold him in contempt for having snuck up on him--he did mean to move so quietly, it was simply his nature.
It seemed then he was delighted to announce his answer, his tone as tranquil as the seaside ambience that surrounded them. This world is so wide, and yet we have taken the same path here.
Pulling his ears back his eyes drifted shut, Do you think it is just coincidence? Is coincidence also fate in disguise?
And he was eager to hear his wild cousin's answer, the Borzoi was not so sure of his own regarding the question. Perhaps there was no real conclusion to it.
Kaworu gave a simple nod, his eyes fluttering open at the unexpected touch his received; warm sun met quicksilver for a brief moment and then drifted back towards the ground. I too have thought this.
He admitted, agreeing to the wolf's sentiments before adding, Though you honor me with your wisdom.
His head tilting with graciousness and a small dip of his nose. I am Kaworu.
He had not been asked for an introduction but felt it was a right moment for it, shifting so that he might look beyond the wolf.
May I watch with you?
He had traveled so long and far to only glimpse the sea between the legs of the wolf seemed inadequate now, but he made no motions of his own. Withheld anticipation beating in his chest, he waited expectantly for answer.
thank you!
“I was thinking” Kaworu began to confess,
“That such unhindered beauty would not be a rare treasure in your life.” This own thoughts unwilling to separate this moment from his past where such a thing did not exist. There had been other beauties, but they were tightly contained away from him, his movement limited. The idea that the Borzoi could simply take off and sprint towards the water and nothing would stop immediately stop him, his God’s rope could not lasso him any longer and drag him in which he had no will of his own. It was exciting and yet faintly frightening to have so much power.
His emotions seemed to channel against the other wolf who had always own the freedom of this world, and had been born with the gift to channel its beauty into song. He froze to listen, but could not join—he didn’t know how. His breed was naturally quiet and he stayed true to his born temperament as the powerfully driven melody was tapered off by the sound of the ocean once more. Kaworu let go of the breath he had not been aware he’d been holding, his eyes locked on the company next to him. He wished to ask so many questions, his eyes dancing with the curiosity that had been sparked and yet he could not find words.
