Stone Circle Another Girl

Vespera's eyes were exhausted just from looking around to find something to do. The female was practically slumping as she walked with her paws dragging on the ground with each step that she made. The young female was already tired of winter, even though she was practically born to survive it, it was her least favorite season. Vespera was looking for a place to rest her eyes then she could go back and try to make an attempt to patrol the borders. The dark-colored female had found her chance when she found a nice rock to stretch her tired body on, she was starting to get good at finding these places for she would wander around a lot by herself. Maybe she could have Brynn tag along, maybe patrol together, but Vespera didn't want to bother the female for she thought the female had better things to do. Vespera made her way onto the rock, her paws were beginning to feel sore and she didn't want to put any more weight on them. Vespera flopped on her belly and sprawled her paws, making it look like she was gripping the rock, and her head seemed weightless as it dropped on the rock, in between her shoulders. Her eyelids began to feel heavy as it seemed dark fog was starting to cloud her vision and her ears falling to the sides of her head effortlessly.

@Aerasha

Aerasha, just returning from her long journey, was refamiliarizing herself with the area. So she says, as an excuse to exclude herself out of normal pack duties. A usual occurance with the soft dame as she sashayed around the stones, glancing idly around for something interesting to come across her bicolored eyes. 

Some smelled familiar, some did not. The black figure on the stone, was familiar, but not familiar enough to know her name. She only remembered this one by the aggressive nature on her gorging a bison eye out, as Aerasha skipped right past that scene and frolicked to the other side of the herd. It was fresh in her mind, mostly because she found the game of tag with the large hoof creatures to be rather fun, but the fae forgotten that was long ago. So was her joining, technically, but now she was starting over.~

Wisping her hips on over, Aerasha held the usual lethargic and playful expression, as she strode on over. Devlishly sweet, she was, as the other was tired and sore, she seemed to ignore the factors and innocently said, "heeeey," while facing the stone, "how youuu dooiiin'.~"

The young female almost entered her own dreamland since she was practically half asleep. But she was soon brought back into reality when the voice of a female rang into her ears, and her eyelids seemed to have found the strength to lift themselves. Her eyes were greeted by a female she wasn't familiar with, she could have assumed the she-wolf to be a trespasser but at this point, she decided not to even bother since she could smell the scent of Valette on this wolf. Vespera didn't even try to drag her head up in response to the female greeting her with a playful expression and an innocent tone to her voice, but Vespera could tell this was going to get on her nerves. The young female weighed her eyebrows down to give an unamusing expression, the female wasn't very keen on meeting new members of East Hollow or even old ones, but the least she could do was give her some greeting, even if it wasn't much. "Hey..." Vespera didn't feel like sound sincere and her response sounded like a typical moody teenager who didn't want to get involved with socialization, with her violet gaze, she looked at the females figure noticing that she had some light colors on her and her blue gaze, but what caught her attention was the scar on her shoulder though she didn't look at it too long.

She watched the other, smiling pleasantly despite the moody responds. However Aerasha's bicolored gaze of blue and brown did not seem to look at the other in disdain or annoyance, and it carried on with a playful hint while greeting the other. Though maybe not many would notice her brown tone, as her eyes usually were half closed. Maybe that was why many were drawn to her vicious scar instead.. With such a dull responds, she would attempt to carry on the conversation for the sake to ease her boredome, "heeeey, what's wrooongg? Diiiid Greyback give a daddy lecture?~" Maybe her way to 'comfort' or even try a friendly conversation wasn't the best, especially toward a stranger.

"Oohhhh, aanndd," and she almost forgot! "i'm Aerasha. Hellooooo.~"

Even with Vespera's dull response which she had hoped would make the female lose interest, the female remained with a playful expression, which added the Vespera's annoyance. Though the female was too tired to really give a snarky remark or something sarcastic since it was something she usually did when meeting new wolves so that they would just leave her alone. But this time, the female gave a response to something that she was not expecting when she asked what was the matter and asking if she got a Greyback daddy lecture... This threw Vespera off even if she was only half listening but this made her eyelids flash open, with her neck reluctantly shooting upward and her head snapping toward the female, and as a finishing touch, she gave the female a bewildered expression with her bottom jaw practically hanging open with her ears a little bit flat and her eyes wide with one knitted eyebrow and the other one up. "I'm sorry, what?" Vespera recoiled her neck back a little with surprise had, with emphasizing on the 'what' part of her statement to further express her confusion. This only gave her a little bit of anger since she never thought of Greyback as a father figure, but to her, Valette was the parent figure. But then the female stated her name to which she is called Aerasha, but now Vespera could only think that as irrelevant now since before she just stated about a Greyback 'daddy' lecture.

Successfully catching the others attention she continued on, "he like a dad riiiight? Papa mountain.~" She faintly recalled the time Aerasha rode the mountain man, and found herself wishing to do so once again. Or at least, to any big enough to grant this desire. She would need to find a worthy packmate to help on this!

"He must've lecturreeed, yess?~" The fae was indicating that the other, acting like an troublesome teen must have gotten in trouble somehow, "orrrrrr, mama Val did it.~"

"Buuut its okay, they just worrryyy abouuttt yoouu.~"

Vespera couldn't be more astonished of how the female was talking about Greyback, was she in love with him? If so, Vespera lolled out her tongue in disgust and made drooping eyes with her gaze moving upward, she made this a little over dramatic. The young female thought love was overrated, wondering why everyone made a big deal out of it, none the less, she never really cared for it. Vespera fixed her face and put her tongue back in her mouth and still gave a very bewildered expression to Aerasha, for she never really gotten a lecture from Greyback, if she did, she would have forgotten about it the moment she stepped away from the male. But the way she talked about Valetta made her a bit disturbed, weren't the two practically the same age each other, why would she call her mom? The questions buzzed around the female's head making her self seem a little off-put when she mentioned Valette. She really couldn't say anything, she didn't know what to say, she wasn't expecting these kinds of conversations. But the female said that the two cared for her and this made her roll her eyes and laugh a little, "care about me? Nah... Probably mostly everyone in this pack would love to see me gone." While she was confident in her answer, she very well hid the pain her chest when she said that, it hurt more now that she thought about it for she knew it was true.

"Oohhhhhh, whyyyy?~" Aerasha didn't comment on her play toward the parental comments and simply waited for the other to respond. However when Vespera gave one, she only questioned back, like a child with their 'why' questions. She had seemingly guessed wrongly on being lectured, though provided a moody attitude of someone who did. What a troublesome wolf.~

"Do youuuuu, not try hard enoouughhh?" She started with a series of questions, "cauuseee, trouble?" With a devilish smile, "Ohhhh, got between a couuuppleeee?~" There was an infinite of 'why' she could continue on listing, all reasons for some to dislike the dark female. It wasn't tricky to make others find you irritating or odd, so Aerasha had an infinite scenarios.

"Orrrr... Youuuu, don't like yourselllfff?~"

Vespera at this point just wanted to put her paws over her ears and bang her muzzle into the rock multiple times. Not only was she feeling annoyed, but she was also feeling pressure, what was with all these questions? Even though Aerasha was talking in a kind tone, the young female was still feeling irritated. As far as she knew, she never really got into trouble with anyone, expect not having a great first impression with Ira but she could care less. Vespera twitched her right eye for a brief moment before inhaling and exhaling to try and calm her nerves. "No, I did not get between anyone nor do I care to do so," Vespera practically almost reluctantly said that through her teeth, but she made her speech clear as she could. Vespera felt as though Aerasha was loaded to the brim with scenarios but she was sure all of them were incorrect. However, one did manage to make her ear twitch, but her body felt a little hot with panic. Aerasha said something along the lines of, not liking herself, though she wanted to retaliate and snap at her face telling her that wasn't true, Vespera hesitated for a few, for she actually stopped and thought about it. But Vespera figured she was sitting there for too long looking into space, so she shook her head and snapped her gaze toward Aerasha, "Ha! Think again, why on Earth would you think that?" At this point, Vespera was trying to sound confident and unamused but she was lying through her teeth. To add more to the effect, she rolled her eyes and gave a little chuckle, hiding her true feelings on the matter.

She was odd, but a bit decent at picking up minor details. Mostly because she watched, to try and catch all the bits about others. Observing was one of her greatest treasures, so for Aerasha, it was easy to pick up certain habits, or certain feelings. Though the one before her, was far too easy. She even said it herself, that it was amazed Vespera didn't realize her own self-esteem issue, "Welllll," the lass started, "you said it yourselllffff.~"

"Youuu, said no one carres, buuuttt, whooo told you thaaat?~" Aerasha couldn't imagine anyone saying anything even the tiniest bit of cruelty to another. Majority already held a high annoyance for herself, but no one dares to actually say- well some asked what was wrong with her, but nothing that they disliked the creamy wolf. She could only say this black wolf is jumping to conclusions.~ How adorable.

The female opened her mouth to respond, but nothing came out. She did say that in fact, but she tried to push it aside and hope the female would forget, but Aerasha was able to go back on what she said and bring it up again. The young female had to try and respond quickly as to assure the female that she hasn't stumped her, "I was being sarcastic," she said with a bit of a snarky tone. Though that may have not been true, she didn't want Aerasha knowing her state of mind. The young female went back into her memories of who said that, and she could remember each time it was said to her and who had said it, though she would like to forget their names, their faces were still fresh and new in her mind. Vespera pushed those memories to the back of her mind since she remembered that she told Valette that she wanted a new opportunity to change her life. Though the female had a plan in mind, she still wasn't quite sure how to execute it and she still wanted to cling to Valette like a pup and her mother, but she assumed that she couldn't do that forever. She isn't even related to me, how can I reach for something I can't touch? I can't even get close to it. Her own thoughts but her back a bit, all of her confidence was put on hold and she forgot that she was even talking to Aerasha so her facial expression revealed a little bit of doubt and sadness. The female even looked down at her paws, wondering where her giant feet would lead her, so far, they had led her to pain and mental suffering to the point where she even doubted her own body to guide her to a safe haven to where she could rest and reset herself.

"Oohhhhh, reallllyyyy?~" She had this sickly sweet voice, one of innocence and naivity, but it was clear there was an underline toxic amusement, as a playful smirk came upon the cotton lady's face. Anyone could see that the other was of lies, that were easy to read. Even someone like Aerasha, who could be said to push buttons in the wrong places, knew where to read the lines. Though she knew where, she didn't stop, as the Princess freely continued forward with an act of an 'angel', and so she pressed, "buuuttt, you seem sooo saaad."

"Eveerryoonee seems to treat yoouu soo welll, wouldn't theeeyy bee saaaddd if you thoought so little of them?~"

The young female's fur prickled a little, the sound of innocence in Aerasha's voice really didn't sit well with her, but she restrained herself from jumping up and stomping away. She had to endure this. But what was really setting her off was that Aerasha was hitting every point about her mood perfectly, she felt backed into a corner and she really wasn't the type to open up to people she barely knows right away, that's why she puts up a snarky persona. Vespera swished her tail a little and she kept a hard stare at Aerasha, she was acting so sweetly, and Vespera just so badly wanted to paw her in the face with her large front feet but she couldn't. Though she began to curl her front toes inward as though she was clenching a fist, but she just flared her nose and snorted, "being sad is just tiring, if I was sad, the feeling would have passed long before you had arrived," Vespera had stated firmly with adding heavy snark in her statement, trying to get her point across and drilling that idea into the female's skull. But the female didn't stop there, she just went on and on about how people felt about her, and this wasn't really settling  for Vespera, "I honestly could care less if others were upset at the fact that I thought so little of them, and if they do it to me, then it is justifiable for me to do it to them, plain and simple." The young female snorted once more, she wasn't really in the mood for mind games with Aerasha, and she really wasn't about to give into them either.
