The Heartwood Hands in a derby

Once again free from the oppressive life of a pack, and her belly full of whatever she could gobble down before she'd talked with Vengeance, Chip had set her sights north. She didn't have a destination in mind, but she never had. Several times, she came across the scent of some wolf in season, and it tickled her up and down. Chip's own tended to come later in the year, but that didn't mean she'd hold back using the smells in the air to her advantage. She was sure every wolf with a cock was out to get to pound town as fast as possible.

Prancing her way through the lovely forest, Chip spotted an old, rotting corpse of a deer. Most of it had been picked clean by scavengers, and it was likely a good month or two old, but the antlers remained intact. She planted her front feet on the skull and began to yank at the antler, hoping to dislodge it from the dead thing's head.

The hinterlands were left behind as he explored further north, visiting the coast for a day or two in a moment of weakness, then when the nostalgia began to make his eyes gloss he manned the fuck up and departed again. Down through the valley, stipping to piss on a few trees and then refill the tank at a little lake that had a thin sheet of ice blocking him; then, needing food, he prowled towards a forest.

It wasn't the best place to hunt. The trees were a mess and everything looked blackened, wilted, and frozen over with ice and snow. As if some cataclysm destroyed the woods (maybe a hell gate opening). Yutani couldn't help but think hell had risen and frozen over, which made him smirk.

He noticed something moving between the trees, so he perked up. As he hiked closer he caught the rank scent of old meat, but it did not deter him.

Chip continued to yank at the antler. She wasn't sure why she wanted it, she just thought it would be nice to chew on something for a while to pass the time. Finally, with a rather hefty tug, she was able to free it from the skull, stumbling backwards with the pointy head ornament. It was only then that she spotted the approaching black and silver wolf. Protective of her treat, she pulled it out of the way, then stepped over it so that she blocked him from getting it (at least temporarily).

Sup, cutie, she greeted, batting her eyes and putting on a coy smile. Another male, another opportunity to practice her one and only skill.

A wolf was working at the crown of a long-dead deer, or something. It was hard to differentiate all the ungulatea; Yutani loved off of fish, crustaceans, birds, and the occasional seal while growing up so his experience with terrestrial life was somewhat limited. He knew it was food because of how it smelled and made his mouth salivate - even frozen and dessicated there was some appeal. The wolf was focused on the creature's head and as Yute came closer, they moved to block sight of it.

The woman's lilting voice made him smirk. He made no effort to hide the way his eyes slid across her body, and as he prowled, side-stepping so he could get another angle to appreciate her by, he let his eyes linger on her hips.

Feelin' a bit horny, or do you have an oral fixation? Not his best lone, but cut the guy some slack. He did wake up half-dead only a few days ago (and there was that catty business with those hormonal ladies - sheesh.).

It took her half a beat, but then Chip realized what a great joke he'd made. Damn, son. I might as well let you give it to me for that line alone. A true wordsmith, this one. But Chip didn't give it up to just anyone. Just kidding, she totally had (and would continue to). A little bit of foreplay was required though, and Chip didn't mind challenging her flings a little bit. Besides, an idea flung itself into her head that would be both fun and make him feel like a champ.

She positioned herself so the antler was in front of her again with him on the other side. How about we play a little game of hide the bone. Wow, Chip. Just wow. You close your eyes, I'll hide it, and if you can find it, we fuck.

He half expected to get slapped in the face for that line, but was surprised (and a little bit impressed with himself) that it went the other way; this stranger looked DTF and he couldn't help but be intrigued. When she proposed a game, he almost rolled his eyes and walked away - easy was fun sometimes, and usually Yutani was down for anything, but today was different. He wasn't some kid trying to impress a pretty girl; he wanted to feel good with no strings attached, but he wanted it his way. Then again, if he didn't agree he'd probably lose out on the chance to get his dick wet.

Maybe she was playing him. Maybe hide the bone was her attempt at being clever, because the only bone around here was between his legs. He scoffed at the suggestion and then shrugged. How about you close your eyes, and we'll see where the bone ends up? Eyebrows raise, and a smirk rolls across his face.

Typical boy. Only wanted to have things his way. Chip returned his scoff with one of her own. My game first, she replied, settling down onto her haunches. He could likely overpower her if he really wanted to, but she was quick on her feet and had a feeling she could outrun him if needed. Chip had been in more than one sketchy situation in her lifetime, so she was used to dealing with those who were unwilling to work for the reward. Not that she always made them work, of course.

Then we can play with your bone, she said. If he wasn't into it, she'd find somebody else who was.

Ah, she wasn't taking any back-talk. Yutani wasn't sure if he liked that so much in a lady, but it was better than the boring ones. He smirked at her as she spoke and nodded, Okay, I'll play. Maybe jumping through a few hoops would be worth his while after all. Considering his bad luck in the friend department lately (and equally bad luck charming the pants off these horny women in their time of need) he could use a little bit of sport to liven things up.

He tried to resist the urge to laugh at himself as he shook off his shoulders and settled, poised rather, with his eyes shut. He didn't like taking his eyes off of the woman, but at least he could listen with his ears, keep tabs on the surroundings even in a limited manner in case she meant to trick him with this game. He clears his throat prior to declaring: Eyes closed.

He relented, and Chip relaxed the tension in her shoulders. It was no fun if he didn't play by the rules. Count to twenty, then come find me, and no peeking! she reminded him before scampering off into the woods. She weaved in and out of the trees, backtracked a few times, and eventually found a downed evergreen bough to hide herself behind. There, she peered out, trying to slow her panting and keep as quiet as possible.

Briefly, she wondered what she would do if he did fail to find her. Not that she expected that to happen, but it sure would be a disappointment if that was the case. Chip's eyes and ears were alert, ready for any sign of him to come toward her.

A good thirty minutes had passed by the time she called out. Hey bone-boy! But he was nowhere to be found. Perhaps he wasn't such a good partner for this game after all. With a shrug, Chip moved on, seeking out her next victim.
