Phoenix Maplewood just observe

one more post from you and archive? :)

"Whatever," Arion threw back, making a rude face at her before he focused on the road in front of him and blocked her voice from his head. Gah. How could he focus on the task at hand if she kept somehow managing to annoy and amuse him at the sametime?! Did it make sense? Obviously it didn't. Nor did the fact that he was having a conversation with himself in his mind. Arion had once asked Chiron if that was deemed 'normal' by 'normal wolves', his golden friend had told him that everyone did it.

Arion now wondered if Chiron had only said that to make him feel better.

He watched her now, having been shook out of his reverie, as she strode towards the water, paused then scowled and lifted a paw through the water, splashing him with the clear liquid. Arion backpedaled and spluttered indignantly, though the smirk on his face spoke only too clearly of how he felt. He was amused, rather than angry. "Good job," the Greek grinned at her, a twinkle evident in his fiery golden gaze.

When he walked closer, she lifted her head and tail, narrowing her eyes at him. Cluelessly, Citali said that the view would look much better downstream. Arion lifted his own tail, cocking his head at her as if saying: what can you do about it? But when she replied to his comment about the view, it was his turn to scoff. "You're the most clueless woman I've ever met," the Greek said, not unkindly but in a mixture of mild exasperation and amusement. "I wasn't talking about the river, I was talking about you."

Then with another crooked smile and a shake of his head, Arion turned and departed, making his way towards Redtail Rise. He was hungry and he was sure food awaited him back home. He thought no more of the brown furred Amazon he had met in the Maplewood, not knowing that soon, they would be packmates.
