skull and crossbones - Castel - January 14, 2025
for @Fiamma
he is trotting forth, deft paws carrying him with casual glides over dunes. tail raised in a high, confident arc above his pelvis; golden glare glittering with the heat of the brazen sun above. he is urged onwards from what he had learned; urged by the knowledge that soto would enjoy this information.
or maybe not, and castel had pegged him wrong. not that he had pegged him at all—which he would arguably enjoy—
it is not until the scent of verapaz lingers on the arrid sky that anything intrigues him. most of all, why he smells verapaz this far east. there is many options, but the appearance of a woman on a distant dune allows him to single onto one: soto had sent someone after him! soto did not trust him.
he scoffs, then his teeth click, and he tsks. forwards he goes, ever closer to the woman, before he embellishes a loud bark in her direction, announcing that he not only sees her, but he's coming in for a landing. his strides picking up with speed before he is ascending the dune she stands upon.
oi,he chimes.
¿qué deseas?

had soto sent her to check up on the traveling castel? sure. had she any intention of heckling him upon his quest, like a dogged parent at their wayward child's heels?
not in the slightest.
so it was to her amusement, surprise, and slight affront that he came in hot, sending the sand flying upon his abrupt stop and barking words her way. she caught che, at least, and furrowed her brow.
excuse me?fiamma asked, though there was no real question in her tone, only reproach. she lifted her chin and met his gimlet stare with one of her own.
soto sent me. wanted to make sure you were well.
she turned with a roll of her glacier-cold eyes, adding,
clearly, you're fine.
RE: skull and crossbones - Castel - January 15, 2025
ah, so she’s got fire.
the implication needles him more than he’d like. soto had sent her to check up on him? to babysit him? his lips twitch into a grin, but there’s nothing warm about it.
his tail sways once, high.
qué generoso de soto mandar una niñera.
he takes a step forward, closing the gap between them slightly, but his posture remains casual—tail still lifted, ears angling lazily toward her.
well, niñera, what now? you gonna hold my paw all the way back to verapaz?
RE: skull and crossbones - Fiamma - January 15, 2025
her ear swiveled backward, catching his words. generoso; he was being sarcastic. only when he switched to common tongue and his meaning was clear did she stop and look at him with a gritted-teeth smile.
if you want,fiamma replied, her brows lifting.
i don't really want to, amico.
she sighed and went on, though she tried to keep him in her periphery.
sto andando a casa,she drawled, shrugging.
andiamo.
he should not trifle with her. her heat had been one thing; post-fertility, she found herself on edge and reactive.
RE: skull and crossbones - Castel - January 16, 2025
y aquí pensé que querías disfrutar de mi compañía.
his grin lingers, sharp and teasing as he picks up his pace to match hers. he doesn’t press too close, but enough to keep himself in her periphery. his amber eyes flick toward her, catching the way her tail flicks, the slight tension in her step.
castel falls into step behind her. only now does he realize just how eager he is to get back to the basin. to speak with soto, tell the man of his findings. to see leto, to know if she grows with his children.
so, you come here often?in common tongue, he asks. shooting the woman a flirty look.
RE: skull and crossbones - Fiamma - January 16, 2025
again, she caught enough, and the tone of his voice is clear. mi compañía—my companion.
what a cad, fiamma thought, though she had to admit there was a certain charm to him. she enjoyed the repartee, at least.
no. i prefer somewhere less. . .she gestured vaguely with her muzzle, swinging it around to indicate their barren surroundings.
empty.
with a sigh, she keeps on moving, with a growing acceptance of the man traveling beside her.
mi chiamo fiamma,she introduces herself.
and i believe yours is castel, sì?that was what soto had told her, anyway.
RE: skull and crossbones - Castel - January 17, 2025
when she speaks her name, his smirk softens just slightly.
fiamma, huh?he tsks, followed by the tilt of his head ever so faintly.
pretty name.is all he comments.
he doesn’t stop moving, keeping his pace steady with hers, his voice carrying that subtle hint of provocation that never quite fades.
castel, sì.he says, his grin returning, sharper now.
you got any plans when we get back, fiamma?
it seems he's content enough to play twenty one questions.
RE: skull and crossbones - Fiamma - January 17, 2025
grazie,she said absently to his compliment, though it brought a smirk to her face regardless. he kept talking, though, and fiamma looked over to him with a feigned bland expression.
what's it to you, signore?she asked, brows raised.
i serve verapaz; i'll continue to do so when we return.
it was too bad her heat had passed already. though she'd sought out—and been denied by—their fearless leader, this man would have been a suitable second choice.
well, as long as he could keep his fat mouth shut while they did the deed.
and you?fiamma shot back.
any plans?
RE: skull and crossbones - Castel - January 17, 2025
she brings a smile to his face, and this time it is not sarcastic or riddled with ill-intent; no, it is of genuine humor. lighting up green and amber eyes, which swathe her face in poking examination.
yikes, señorita!he says with a faint bark, tail swishing behind him.
you got a lot of bite. i only ask because i'm curious. did not get to meet my new packmates before el segundo sent me off.a shrug comes.
paws work in ample rhythm over dunes, the two of them falling into step together as they etch their path back towards the basin. he is eager to get off his feet, if only for a few hours. he had been moving nonstop for quite some time now.
her question prompts a hum from the handsome castel.
hm.his eyes return to the horizon ahead.
lie on my ass! i've been walking for days.
RE: skull and crossbones - Fiamma - January 31, 2025
i'll show you 'bite,'fiamma remarked wryly, half under her breath. she was enjoying the verbal sparring with this impetuous man, though she'd never show it.
well, not quite never. his answer brought forth a smile, and then a short chuckle.
that does sound nice,she admitted, nodding. she cast her icy gaze toward castel in query.
so, have you known soto for long? you speak his tongue.
a tongue at least somewhat separate from her own, she'd gathered—there was enough lost in translation that communication was stilted.
