Swiftcurrent Creek Only words bleed.

Tiny fish darted to and fro in the shallows, picking at stray aquatic foliage and seemily chasing one another in competition for the best insects that skimmed across the surface. Paarthurnax watched them intently, imagining what they might be saying among themselves. She knew she'd come to love this little bay where the river's pace slowed almost to a standstill, where she could easily waste her evenings curiously eyeing the marine life that it had to offer.

The arrival of an unknown wolf caused Paar's reddish ears to prick, and she shifted as to look curiously over a slim shoulder. She looked upon a tawny figure as he continued her approach, though she made no move to rise and aid in closing the distance between them. Paarthurnax simply watched, and smiled knowingly at the impressive pose her latest companion struck.

His electric eyes glimmered with familiar mischief. Paarthurnax was a natural, exotic beauty wherever she went, and it was never long before she caught the eye of the local males. Fully aware of her exceedingly good looks, and the fact that she was of age to seek a mate of her own, she often encouraged them in their attempts to impress her. This one was the first of Swiftcurrent to flatter her and, keen to see how this encounter would progress, Paar shot her pack-mate a winning smirk. "Would you care to elaborate?" Paarthurnax asked with a quirk of a brow, for although she was entirely unaware of who Fox might be, she did not wish to appear dumb or ignorant in front of this potential suiter.

With an invitation for the tawny male to settle by her side, she remained put while they discussed Swiftcurrent's former Alphess. The talk of Fox ended Paar's interest in Razo, as instead she questioned him further of the fiery female's departure for a time before she was forced to depart his company and assume her assigned duties.
