Rising Sun Valley Rather Ambitious

The best part of having left his pack was not working to create a new one, but was the time he got to spend with Scarlett. He would have never thought he'd have the privilege of being so close to her so often, but that had quickly changed. The change was for the better, of course, as he couldn't imagine himself wishing to lay beside any other female. She completed him more than he'd ever let on, though he would gladly tell her if she ever asked. So when Kove awoke to find that his love's scent was rather stale, the sleep was quickly shaken from him and he set out to find her. The man was unsure of where she could have gone, but assumed it would have something to do with food. His suspicions where only confirmed as he grew closer and closer to where her scent was it's strongest. When her pale form came into view, he smiled, but that smile lived a short life.

There, in the river, was a deer, and there, pacing the river, was his lover. Not even he would go after a deer alone (okay, maybe he would, but that isn't the point), and the fact that she was trying to had him worrying instantly. Like the ghost he was, the man moved on light paws, stalking closer and closer to the river. The look on his face as he stepped in front of the woman made it clear he was unhappy with what she was doing, and that there was no way he would allow her to proceed alone. “Are you insane?” her questioned, setting his gaze on her face. Something seemed off about her, and it made him wonder if she was alright. Had she been eating? Getting enough sleep? He couldn't remember. “Why would you even think about taking down a deer on your own, huh?” Kove did the best he could to keep his voice even and cool, but he was unable to keep some of his worry from leaking into it. “What if something had happened? What if I'd not come and you'd gotten hurt?” The idea of that alone was enough to make his concerns show through entirely. In his voice, in his eyes, and even in the way he held himself. Losing her, especially to an animal of prey, was not something he wanted to ever happen.

Carefully, Kove allowed his eyes to move in order for him to glance at the animal in the river, but after seeing it still there, they jumped back to Scarlett's face. There had been a time, before he'd left his birth pack, in which a sitka doe had caused the death of a pack mate. The creature had broken her back by landing on it after a failed attempt to escape the jaws of the wolves, and after knowing she could never recover from such a thing, she had been put out of her misery. They were animals created to be eaten, he was positive of that, but that didn't mean they didn't have any fight in them. The pale man could not imagine a world in which the albino was not there, and even if he could, he wouldn't. “You should know that hunting large prey alone is too dangerous, Scarlett,” he started, letting out a low sigh. Figuring out what had possessed her to try something so irresponsible was not hard at all, but the reasoning behind it was not enough for him to agree with her actions.

Kove is not happy. xD He needs to chill.
