Wolf RPG - makes it hard to catch my breath

Takes place at the plot of land between Sea Lion Shores and Gyrfalcon’s Keep. Let me know when it needs to be dated & I’ll edit

A game of chess they play, and Valyri is uncertain the reasoning why—perhaps she is not welcome in the way she welcomes others, lest they desire tormenting of innocent souls. That she could never accept, and would rather they drown and bathe in their own blood than stand tall upon any terrain.
She avoids the Shores, respecting the claim the fiery boy spoke of, even if he lacked an army to back him up at the time. Yet she does not shy from the coast, nor traveling northward. Nefris is near enough that she could be at her side should Valyri need, yet the High Priestess walks the sandy grassline alone for now. Her main companion is the sun that barely peeks from the horizon.

@Huā

13th or 14th is good! if its sunrise, 14th, if its sunset, 13th :P and thanks for starting!!<3

Huā had caught the scent of others at Stavanger in the week or two before- figuring it a passing duo, but after journeying through a few times more, she found the scents consistent. A claim, perhaps? It piqued her curiosity, and unnerved her all the same, to have new individuals so close. What if they were a threat? It was only natural that Huā's paranoia would take over as it always did, keeping her tense and wary. How many times in her life she'd been hurt by others was immeasurable, and so she kept people at a distance.

So when the now-familiar scent of the women floated to her on the breeze, she intended to investigate. She makes her way towards it- eventually catching sight of a woman like no other. Attractive, no, but beautiful, yes. Not the type that Huā would court but rather the type she'd worship- an ethereal girl, with a ultra-fluffy physique and a lion's mane. Her paws were just as dainty as Huā's own, but creating something more beautiful of a contrast with her fluff, rather than Huā's which only complemented a willowy shape. This woman was clearly not all wolf, mixedvwith something other entirely.

Hesitatly Huā approaches, still cautious all the same. Halting a few yards away with a lifted chin and puffed chest, as if to present some regal elegance, I smell you scent many time on the Bay. Who are you? You living there?

Of course! Super excited to have a thread between these two! Your descriptions were lovely

Yet the sun is cast aside; the main attraction arrives from the woodworks hesitant in approach. Valyri halts her advances as the siren nears—a nervous energy concealed by the mask of royalty. Of which Valyri knows all too well, having dined with numerous nobles and being a princess herself in lands far from the Wilds she’s arrived at.
She would have focused on the qualities of this girl’s beauty had she not recognized her scent just as the girl recognized hers. Valyri’s heart cries out, the worry she felt a tidal-wave crash as she breaks a step forward.
Yes, she answers, breathless as she attempts to compose her emotions. I am Valyri. For once, she finds words difficult to grasp, alas, her tongue does not remain tied for long; I worried for you—your… scent, it was strong. Are you alright? She pleaded to nature that it protect her.

awewew tysm

She confirms that she's living here. Huā wasn't sure how she felt about that- on one hand, Stavanger Bay was further than the land they claimed. But it bordered their hunting grounds at Sea Lion Shores, which she selfishly wanted all to herself. Nevertheless, she doesn't say a word about it.

And now Valyri is asking her about her scent? She was dumbfounded- her heat was not the first thing that came to mind, and so she did not immediately understand Valyri's concern for her safety. My scent? What you mean? I- I pass through here very much, so maybe my scent appear here sometime. But I not in trouble... She explains, expression slightly perplexed.

Bewilderment danced upon the siren’s face. Valyri had thought her questioning obvious, seeing as the woman knows about their home in Stavanger Bay.
The heat scent, she clarifies, It was present in the Bay. Those that belonged to a realm ought to keep to it during such vulnerable times. The collie mix all too aware of what could happen—men are beasts when the opportunity presents itself.

Cue a slight wince. Memories flash back to her- of her moments spent here with Abaddon. She's still not ashamed of the heat, necessarily- but it wasn't exactly nice to tell a stranger you just met oh yeah, I was banging some dude in your land. Hope you don't mind.

Oh, um, that. I am traveling when it happen to me. When I realize it, I make my way home, and this place on the way there. She explains. Only half-lying- maybe she'd realized her heat was happening and still loitered in the mainland. Maybe she didn't exactly head home as soon as possible- but well, irrelevant details.

A calm returns over time, for eventually she comes to understand that her worries are for not. Though Valyri is reluctant to trust it, perhaps this realm is not as cruel as others she has been within. Minrathous’ back streets were a terror to any woman, especially those without the skill to protect themselves.
I see, she pauses, exhaling slow with warmth returning to her facial features. You returned there safe, I hope? Are you… a part of Yuèlóng then, or the Jūnshì?

edit: slapping on ending since player went inactive

Valyri seems to accept her words, which is good enough. Yes, I return safe. She confirms with a confident nod. Poor Huā, still unaware of the pregnancy that would begin to show in a week or so.

She has to keep her expression from sduring at the mention of Jūnshì, she still does not trust her sister's little expedition, though she had not yet made any moves to smite it. Instead she nods, smiling, chin raising a little as if to complement her words, I am empress of Yuèlóng. Jūnshì is my sister army. We work together, protect the people. It wasn't wholly true that they cooperated, not yet, anyway, but Huā knew it was not good to show off the chaos that had grown between the girls.

The girls would chat for only a few minutes longer- Huā, finding things a tad awkward for some reason, would soon excuse herself and return home with new thoughts to mull over.
