Stay For a While, Have a Taste {open/Malo}

[BluePlaid]

A dainty, white paw slowly and gently placed itself into a miniature pool of water. Well, also known as puddle. The old puddle quickly drenched the smooth, furry-fur on her paw, although, it didn't matter. It was summer. Where the breeze passes by, and your hair.. or fur... follows with it. Where you splash around in the wonderful water at the beach, or wherever water may be! Where the cute, fuzzy, little critters come out to play; then soon et eaten by bears. Hey, that's life, right? The smaller creature is always getting dominated, or eaten, by the other. Deja vu, no? No.

Her fur slightly ruffled when a gently breeze came, ruffling trees from afar. the sun shone brightly, warming the female's body up with joy. She closed her eyes, slightly raising her head upwards, while taking the paw out of the puddle and lifting that up, too. The water slowly dripped down into the puddle, sending little circles for about a second to appear. Her ears fell back, and her golden eyes opened up. Smiling and continuing her walk, the Canaan dog, Flutter, began to walk around he track again. This would be her third time going around in circles, but she didn't mind; a long walk was always fun. Her gait was slow, for she didn't need to waste her energy. The dark pads below her paws crunched against the little dust balls, remaining puddles from spring, and the little pebbles that were blown or were just... there. A happy sigh came from her mouth, and a faster walk began to appear. Now bouncing a little with each step, Flutter sang a little tune she created quietly to herself.

It was nothing special, nothing important. Just a little something, "Now, Flutter, my dear, I cannot express my delight! It's abundantly clear, that somewhere out there, is a friend that will suit you just right!" Now being too shy of herself, Flutter looked around, and sang louder cautiously, "I have so many wonderful choices, just wait, I will see! Cool? Sure! How 'bout a boy? They're funny and cute and quick, as can be! Flutter, have faith! I will bet you, that somewhere out there is a friend that will get you!" Smiling wider with her eyes happily closed now, and swiveling her light-colored paws to twirl around, Flutter began to trot, still singing her pretty little song...---

After a while, the female soon began to become tired. Not just because of her singing, but now, she's only made it four times around the track. Nonstop moving. Well, minus when she stopped to play in the puddle and soak up the warmth of the sun. The warmth when you step outside for the first time that day, and the sun just greets you warmly by hitting your skin, warming you up and sending a shiver to you. Her tail wagged slowly as she quietly panted slightly, going into a sit and yawning. Now you see, Flutter is almost never paying attention to her surroundings. The reason she was looking for (her first) a friend, was because in general, she didn't like dogs. All of them were hyper, loud, and wild. She was calm, collected, and quiet. Dogs aren't fun, so why talk to them? Why pay attention to them when you could talk to the sky, or play alone, all by yourself? Talking to herself out loud, Flutter smiled slightly and asked herself in her high-pitched, quiet voice, "Are dogs still alive? Or am I the only one around?" Gasping, she stumbled back, falling into a puddle and sighing. Now she was going to have to wash herself again.

** The brute sauntered through the town, grumbling to himself about how hot it was out here, and while his gorgeous alabaster coat was a nice tag to his appearance, it was scalding as hell to be beneath such a pelage, thus explaining why it was more flat today than fluffy, for he was constantly stepping into any sources of water he could find to cool himself down, roseate tongue lolling out of the side of his maw without hesitation. His golden-hazel voids were narrowed as he squinted, chest rising and heaving with quick pants, silken tassel swinging behind him at low ground, only to then curl up like a fan, wanting to cool himself down in as many ways as possible. He had his parents to thank for this predicament, considering they were had both been German Shepherds, giving him the pure blood, yet the thing was that he inherited their traits, including the main texture of the fur from his dad, and the tint from his mother. He shook his head, wondering where his sires and siblings had gone off to, it was like they disappeared from the face of the earth, and that in itself made him quirk a brow, for it wasn't like anything happened to them, right?

** He let out a sigh, only to watch a Collie trot her way into the saloon, his spine tingling with pleasure of her beauty, wanting to follow her, have his way with her frame, and then consume that deliciously sweet meat, only to then remember with a growl of his belly that he hadn't had the taste of dog meat in such a long time. Yes, it was calling to him, drawing him in, telling him to go find another victim, except one not as fuzzy as that maiden, for he would get more hairs in his mouth than any sinew, so Malo turned to the right, heading to the next town beside Saddle Creek, trotting at a steady pace for nearly half an hour until he saw the gates, leaping through some rotten wood posts, the moisture clinging to the stalks of grass tickling his underbelly. Erect lobes tilted forward when he noticed how silent it was in this place compared to his home, only for a giant stadium in the distance to capture his attention, tilting his skull, wondering what was in there, and thus his destination was set, to go towards that pot of gold, a smirk plastered on his ebony lips, a bit more swagger added to his step.

** The American let out a grunt when he squeezed his immense bodice through the hole in the wall, stepping on to the gravely pavement, winding his way through seats and what-not until he reached upon the track itself, eyes widening at the vastness of this domain, taking a couple of yards forward until he sat down on his haunches, content with just glancing around, after all, there was not much he could do in this ghost town. That is, until he noticed the beautiful little vixen prancing around in the center, where the foliage flourished, her movements fluid like the butterflies that floated around her, yet innocent like the soul that poured from her, and this entranced the Shepherd as he licked his rims, letting out a rumble that sounded like a purr before slinking forth like the dastardly snake he was. She looked positively tantalizing, with those long legs, and that youthful aroma, so he held back that chuckle when she fell into the puddle, only to use that time to get closer, until he was hovering beside her, not making his presence known until he grinned out, “Hello there, my sweet.”

Oh. Lucky joy. First, she fell in a puddle, second, a male was there and probably saw her, third, she was wet, and fourth, a male was there! A male dog! This was bad, this was very bad. Her face grew hot as she felt herself shrink, creeping out of the puddle and nervously shaking herself off. After a moment of silence, Flutter raised to a stand, but was still crouching a little and looking down. She couldn't talk to him. Not just because she was shy, but because this has been the far most embarrassing moment so far in her life. His paws. That's all she saw of him the whole time during the silence after his sweet voice spoke. They were white, like hers, which led her to his chest, then his face. His eyes. His gorgeous, golden-hazel eyes. Freezing up, her ears flew upward suddenly, and she looked through the corner of her eye, getting even more embarrassed. Well, she was already close to him, and she had already been spoken to, and she wanted friends so horribly, she just had to speak. "uhm. hi. my name is flutter. i am. uhm... uh..." Her words were quiet and high, like always, but they began to crackle towards the end as tears streamed down her face. They fell on her paws, so she only lowered more to the ground. "Oh. I'm sorry, I'm just. I'm not u-used to this."

Not once did she dare look at him. There was no need, for he would only suck her in, into his dreamy land. Giving up, Flutter rolled onto her back, exposing her stomach and whimpering, this time talking louder, "Please don't hurt me or laugh at me I'm sorry... wait, I'm sorry I just told you what to do I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!" No. No she could not. No she did not. Now, Flutter was determined. She has been doing this to all dogs every time she meets one. She needs a friend, and this has to stop. Sniffling, the Canaan arose, standing up straight and trying as hard as she could to look him in the eyes, but hers just kept on wandering away. Now speaking more bravely, or at least trying to, the female said as best as she could. "Hi there. I am Flutter... a-and you are, if I may please ask, sir."

Males. They were stronger. They were taller. They were braver. So, being that, she just called him 'sir.' A sir is what he was, and a sir is what she would call him. Of course, who would want to get beaten up by their only friend? Or... just by some random person..? I mean, really. That isn't fun. Flutter's tail began to wag back and forth slowly, as she cautiously leaned in and licked his nose. She's seen females do that to males. Well, you can call her creepy, but that would make her cry. She just sometimes would be passing by, minding her own business, and she saw two dogs; a male and a female. One licked the other's nose, and then they started giggling and saying stuff to each other quietly. That's when Flutter realized and thought to herself, They must be great friends! I want a friend like that! That was just recently, too, so she remembered how it all went down. So, thinking of that, Flutter blinked and cocked her head to the side, a confused look on her face. "Uhm... Excuse me, but is this the part where we lean in really close and start taking and giggling to each other quietly?"

Oh Flutter. Poor, poor, Flutter. Being new at this is hard; but being clueless at what you're doing is just another thing.

[?SilentCallings?]

** The brute was observing the beautiful maiden, such as the lean state of her petite bodice, to the gentle white-cream of her fur, oh how soft it looked, he would definitely enjoy nuzzling that, especially when he had her wrapped around his paw, yes, sweet words and charming actions always took him far in this world, the women weren't able to deny that they wanted someone to sweep them off their feet, and here was Malo, ready to do exactly that. His aureate-hazel tinted pools bore down on to the soggy vixen as she crouched a bit, apparently quite the submissive little darling, his rubbery lips quirking into a smirk at that new fact. Perfect. She would be an easy feat for him, though the only issue would be getting her to trust him enough to follow him around a bit until he chose to strike at the right moment, after all, this scoping and hunting of his targets was an art, and thus he treated it as such. Just like how he persevered their carcasses for a few days, enough to last him for a while, he did not gobble up their meat at the first presented second, no, that was how the fools chose to consume it, without any chance to savor the taste.

** The German Shepherd did not want to scare that Canaan off too early, so he seated himself upon his haunches to appear less domineering than his thirty inches at the shoulder caused most to feel, after all, he was quite the tall brute when compared to most other strays. He knew some progress was being made as angelic coloratura vocals were whispered into the air, his erect ears pricking forward as he craned his head towards her, wanting to pick up those terms that were being lost, considering he could barely hear what she was saying. Though only thing that the American was able to decipher was a basic greeting, missing her name, much to his disappointment, he wanted to know what she was called, after all, it would be one of his life lines in this courtship. His optics narrowed when he saw the crystalline tears sliding down her cheeks, to which his features actually eased up a bit from their flirtatious expression, showing one of a more gentle caliber as he nudged her cheek with his muzzle, licking at those wet trails, murmuring out romantically, “Shh, sweetheart, don’t be afraid, I’m not going to harm you. I am Malo, pleasure to meet you.” Oh, never had he told such an obvious lie, though how was she to know that he was a cannibal? Exactly, plan executed to perfection.

** Though he only had to wait a bit before she started sputtering out apologies like a wildfire, making him widen his visors, guessing this wasn't going to be as feeble as he thought, only to then watch as she straightened up with a dose of confidence, once more trying her introduction, the brute finally able to catch her name as he dipped his maw in respect with a coquettish wink. That was when Flutter leaned in and licked his nose in a quick motion, making him rumble with agreement, only to repay the same attention to the curve of her chin, though her flurry of syllables after that made him stifle a chuckle, noticing that she didn't mean it in the way he really wanted her to, she was only trying to be friendly. That was when Malo shook his head, and instead of going along with a more perverse path, he chose to perhaps hone her knowledge of the world, to which he sidled up beside her and whispered in the vixen’s ear, “While I would love to do that, doing such things is reserved for couples, be it with sexual or romantic intentions.” He playfully nipped the shell of her audit, backing up a few steps with a grin as he then added to stimulate the conversation, “Tell me, miss Flutter, are you from around these parts, or has heaven blessed me with one of their angels?” Heh, he wasn't a dog, this devil was a sweet-tongued snake.

Well done, Flutter. Well done.
First, a male just came out of nowhere, and now he was whispering words in her ear. Her soft, fluffy, delightful ear. Flutter's tail cringed and curled. When he nipped her, Flutter tumbled back and put her ears against her head. Around here? No. Well yeah. Maybe? "I-I don't know. I could be from around here, I don't really remember..." Sniffling and staring away for the sake of the silence, she slowly began to back away, trying to get out of this mess. She could just find another friend another day. "My my look at the time," Flutter looked up at the sun, winced, and looked back down at the ground as she continued to back away, "I really must be going because, uhm, the sun is too hot and.. uhm uh... the- uhm.. the-the- I have to go to a den to... uh... watch some squirrels to make sure a badger doesn't eat them so I really must be going nice meeting you bye!"

[/b] Her white mouth slowly parted into a sheepish smile as her tail tucked under her so far that from a front view, Flutter would appear having only an ugly stub. Falling onto her back for slipping on some rocks and leaves and the water... oh who am I kidding- she tripped over her tail, falling onto her back on the warm gravel. Again, right in front of somebody. Wow Flutter. She 'eeped' and quickly tried to get up, making a fuss and sending dirt and dust everywhere, making her white pelt dirty. Sighing and looking down at her gross paws, Flutter just decided to stay on the ground on her stomach. Talking to herself, which she always does, she simply complained, "Oh great! Now I have to wash up! But where would I find water?!"

Tearing up again, not because of her dirty coat but because somebody was there watching her, Flutter buried her face in the ground and curled into a tight ball, trying to hide herself from it all. When she couldn't take it, Flutter lifted her head and panted, since she pretty much just suffocated herself. Now her face was all dirty, she was out of breath, and she was uncomfortable. All the best things to have in this situation, am I right? No? Oh. About to burst into anger, Flutter whimpered and said her in usual voice, "This day is so bad, I could just... just..."[/color] She screamed, which actually just sounded like a high, soft, note. Or, if you insist, a bunny rabbit hopping through a field and singing. The word, 'scream' sounds to gory for what Flutter would do. She's just too delicate, quiet, shy, and silent to scream. But in her book, she did. "How please excuse me, but I don't feel better at all."[/color] She sat up and just whimpered. This day was truly horrible. How could it get any worse?

"Uhm... as I was saying, I must be going... So, this time, she actually got up and turned around, walking off slowly. Well, crawling off slowly because she lowered herself to the ground. She began to run away, not looking back. Well, actually she was looking back, which caused her to trip and fall again. She was so clumsy, she even annoyed herself. Flutter groaned and growled in frustration, hitting the ground with her paws. This was not fun. How could it be? Well, it sure must have been amusing for the male. Come on, how could one not laugh at her? Any dog would, right?

[?SilentCallings?]

** The Shepherd watched the pretty maiden as she fumbled around after he had flirted a bit, quirking a brow, for sure, he had encountered some quite shy ladies during his many adventures, but never one so obviously so, who was probably as skittish as a mouse in a house full of hungry felines. She then began to blabber out some excuse about watching squirrels for their own safety, and that in itself was the anchor for the cannibal to be intrigued by this girl, she was unlike any other canine he had seen before, and he wanted to know her a bit more, such as what her past was, or you know, maybe what her flesh tasted like. Nothing too drastic, just what was considered normal for the immense brute, his fluffy tail wagging around in a weak try at making her calm down, for apparently he was frightening her quite a bit, well, that was what he thought and assumed, since he couldn't read minds. He sort of felt bad for her though, and had this sense of guilt for wanting to eat her, since she was too pure for him, at least most of his victims were dirty sluts, not really innocence vixens such as this, and it made him feel like some sort of ass.

** Malo tilted his head to the side as she fell, mussing up her starch ivory pelage, and he knew how she felt about that, for his thick ashen follicles were hard to maintain as well, getting dirty almost all day long, meaning he had to dip into some water every so often if he didn't want to ward away the opposite gender. Though what caused his erect lobes to flick forward was the point that she was emitting some sort of weird noise in that tight ball of her’s, as if she was attempting to yell, but all that came out was some high pitched note reminiscent of the piano key to the farthest right, beautiful yet soft. Thus he just sat down on his haunches with a confused look, just paying heed as she talked to herself, only to rise up once more, appearing as if she were about to break down in tears, his audits flattening at that with a silent whimper echoing through his throat. He started to take a few steps forward, wanting to give her some comfort, which was a strange urge in itself for the normally arrogant and disinterested German Shepherd.

** Then Flutter had squeaked out something about leaving, bolting away from him, and the boy barked out in worry, “Hey, don’t go yet!” His elongated limbs then sprung forth, muscles coiling as he loped after her, only to let out a grunt of surprise when she fell to the track once more, not having expected that, and since he had been trailing behind her, the male tripped over her limp frame, spiraling forth as he landed roughly on his chest, rump high in the air as he skidded to a stop. He just laid there in shock for a couple of seconds before standing up, shaking his now muddied hide, flinging the ochre substance in various directions, yet it still stuck to him like superglue, so he walked back over to her with a shy smile, chuckling out, “I think the both of us might need to find water now. Come on, follow me, it’s bound to be around here somewhere.” Then the canine turned around and started walking towards the other end of the track, thinking to check around the concession stands or something, but it didn't stop him from glancing over his shoulder every once in a while to make sure she was alright. He didn't know why this sudden change overcame him, just mere minutes ago he had been confident and charming, now he was resorted to a meek and caring mess. This was not good. Not good at all.

Ow.

Well, that hurt. The ground, of course.
Then came the big ass brute, trippin' all over her and stuff. Flutter whimpered and sighed; eh, she was used to it. He fell awkwardly, which, honestly, kind of made her smile a bit. Not because she was laughing, but at least he seemed to her just a little clumsy. Ms. Shy just stayed on the ground, resting her head on her paws and looking anywhere but him. Her eyes felt like they were about to water up again, but, surprisingly, they didn't. So, the female simply just sighed again, licking her paws to try to take away the awkwardness she felt. Water? Follow him? Woah. Okay, following a complete stranger is bad. Going somewhere in the middle of summer to find water is also bad. Male + Water + Flutter = Fail. The female flattened her ears against her head in order to think. She lied to him, so, might as well make up for it by making him happy, right? Right! So with that, Flutter almost was dragging herself to follow the male, her white, not-so-clean-anymore stomach scratching against the ground as she slowly crawled after him.

The miss could feel his gaze, and she knew because she hates gazes. Since her ears were pinned against her head and the Canaan was just following the sound of paw-steps, every time she felt her leader look at her, the female sped up, flashed a shy smile, and stood up more. Soon she was standing and trotting by his hip, catching up quickly. A full smile was now on her face as she hummed in the same tune as she did before, sometimes speaking a few soft words. "Hmm hmm hmm! There must be a friend here, that will surely fit the ticket! How 'bout a male that trots like a cricket?" Being insecure and startled easily, Flutter quickly added, "I'm sorry! I like crickets! I- I think crickets are cute! So, that was a compliment. Wait! If you heard my singing... I- I can surely stop if it makes you uncomfortable or you don't like it...!"

She trotted faster just so she could be by his side and smile sheepishly again at him, her golden eyes sparkling like honey being poured.... In the sun....

Turning her head away from his and glancing around, Flutter added more of a bounce to her trot, humming her song quietly in her head to herself. "Uh... Malo...? I know I don't know much about you, but I think you're really nice Not super pure, but pure!" This time, she just turned her head and looked at his filthy paws. Then, she looked at her own. Not much of a difference, just that hers were a tad bit dirtier. Her ears now stood erect and Flutter started to trot slowly, yet having so much bounce in it she still was right next to him. Smiling fully again and closing her eyes happily, the shy Canaan hummed her song again, "Hmm hmm hmm! Not that many of choices, I do see! But just one quick should be just right for me!"

** The brute quirked a brow as he trotted forward, waiting for her to catch up, hearing the rustle of the ground as her abdomen messed with the chunks of rock and what-not, to which he stated out in a deep tenor voice, worry hinting his tones even though he didn't want it to, “Careful, you might hurt yourself.” His lobes flattened at that, not wanting to make her think he was trying to control her or anything, and this was beginning to frustrate the boy, he didn't like that he was so clumsy with his emotions around this woman he had just met, this was not natural, and he needed to consume her sinew, so there was no use in making any futile bonds with her. The German Shepherd ended up snorting until he tilted his skull in amused confusion, watching as she eventually stood up cheerfully, loping beside him, actually getting a bit in the lead as they rounded the corners of the track, like a real life race between the two, and that was what was running through his mind. His muscles relaxed a bit however as she sang, her voice like that of the angels from above, sweet and silken, and it sickened him how he was getting all mushy, so his brows furrowed together as he inwardly snarled at himself to toughen up, food was warming itself up, he might as well focus on making sure she didn't escape. This was his only chance to feed on something that wasn't deer or rabbit, and boy he was in the mood for some of his own species, that delicious meat.

** Though as he stifled a laugh at her cutely strange lyrics, she ended up reverting back to her apologetic and submissive state, to which he chuckled as she tried to explain to him, a twinkle in his hazel optics as he briefly skimmed his moist nose over her cheek, purring out, “Oh, so you think I’m cute? Well, I think you’re absolutely gorgeous, my dear.” Step one, complimenting them until they were a puddle, enacted. When she babbled, offering to stop her song, he shook his head furiously, barking out softly, “No, no, please, continue, I liked it, you have an amazing voice.” Then as they continued on their path, the German Shepherd was able to calm himself down, all these nerves bouncing around, rubbing against one another, only to then glance over at the Canaan dog once more as she then randomly spouted out a couple of sentences, ones that made him grin at the separation from the topic. He sighed at the memories though, that the word purity brought on, and he mumbled out to the pretty female, “Yes, that had been long lost ago, before I even grew up.” His tail curled around his ankle before he changed the conversation over to her, finally spotting that tiny leak that created what looked like a pond to his view, stepping one of his paws in the source as he asked, “Where are you from, Flutter?-” Not that he wanted to pry or anything, he was just curious as to where she had descended from, only to then add a bit more with a hobble upon his limbs, “-And are you here alone, or do you have family?”

Family? Where she's from? Might as well tell him everything, right? "Well, get ready because... this is gonna sound funny. I used to be spunky, loud, and just fun. My parents were really old, and I had just gotten a collar. A good luck charm collar. I remember one night a was laughing and dancing and happily playing in a mud puddle when I was almost one. I ran into a gang of dogs, and they attacked me. I almost died and... yeah. I don't remember what happened after that, but that's why I'm afraid of dogs. I'm afraid they might kill me... I don't remember my parents or where I'm from. What about you? Where are you from?"

Flutter stared at the small pond and closed her eyes, trying to forget that he was here. She jumped into it, rolling around and barking happily, being so happy that she turned and went to play bow at Malo. Her rear in the air and her tail wagging as her ears perked and her tongue lolled out. She bounder up to him and licked his cheek once and wagged her tail happily. Suddenly realizing she wasn't a pup, Flutter stopped and sat down, her back slanted as she looked at the ground. Her paws cleaning than before, but she was dripping wet. Flutter pinned her ears against her head and wrapped her tail around her paws. "S-sorry. This is what happens when I always think of what happened when I was a pup. I act like I'm a pup again, then I snap back to reality and become embarrassed." She whimpered and only got up to shake off. She clenched her jaws and stomped her paw on the ground, dragging her claws back and making a mark in the track.

Flutter flicked her tail and got up, going behind the white brute, burring her face into his back, and began crying. Her words were barely visible as they were muffled into his pelt, "I- I can't do anything right! I mess up everything everyday and everybody laughs at me! I pretend that I'm used to it but every time it just makes me.. me.. hate myself!"

[/color] Flutter began to sob as she ran to Malo's chest to put the top of her head on there and cry. Her tears fell slowly down her cheek and onto the ground, soaking up what it could get. She put her paw on top on his and buried her face into the side of his neck, right by his shoulder. Her breathing went into those little huffs after you cry, as she slowly began to stop. Her tail wrapped around her paws as Flutter just sat there, obviously enjoying the feeling of being so close to a dog in the first time of her life.

<sub>** The pair had begun walking towards the little pond that the brute had in mind, after all, he knew Saddle Creek like some sort of mental map, since it was his birth home, even if this was a neighboring town, but it was still the same thing, he explored all of the surrounding locations as well. That was when the pretty vixen began to tell him her life story, something he was truthfully interested in as those erect audits swiveled forward to milk any last lyrics out of her, frowning at the mention of some mutts attacking her, hackles raising along his spine as he glared at the ground. Those mongrels were lucky he hadn't been around when they were picking on her, lest she had been witness to a massive massacre of all those fools, he couldn't even bare to imagine the possible scene of her mangled body, the poor innocent soul. This was what was funny about the world, horribly so, cruel creatures like himself were left untouched by the hands of evil while upon the earth, while angels like Flutter were abused by fools equally as evil as himself, and even now he wished that he would be punished for all his cannibalistic deeds, so that maybe it would encourage him to stop. When she finished up her tale, the German Shepherd’s tassel had hung low, not even able to wag to give her a sense of comfort, just so angered by those in her past, only to then connect his hazel irises with her once more, perhaps a true sense of slight truth in his terms for once as he stated slowly, “… I won’t hurt you.” Yes, for once in his life, he really didn't want to tear her to shreds, or eat her, he had lost his appetite right when he began to learn more about who was once his potential snack.

** When the question was directed back at the two year old, he pouted and thought for a bit before shrugging and answering after a short grunt, “I was born here, in Saddle Creek, to Carsen and Rosalia, they were strays that made their way here, and so I’m the first generation of natives, though I haven’t seen my parents or my siblings in nearly a month, which is making me really nervous, since I have to watch over Addisson, she can’t be by herself, she’s too innocent. Though I am fearing the worst, since they aren't at home either, and they wouldn't have left without telling me first…” Then the duo of mutts had made it to the shallow and rather small lake, yet it could fit a couple of dogs, to which he grinned as he placed his paws in it, watching with a laugh as the Canaan dog flopped around in it playfully. She just had this pure air to her that made everything she did adorable, and just he couldn't see how anyone could ever find something wrong in such a pure creature, which made their bonding all the more dangerous. When her smooth tongue slid against his cheek, his eyes closed half way with what sounded like a purr, his tail wagging slowly until she began to profusely apologize like she usually did, something he chastised by bumping the crown of his skull against her chin. Malo was shocked though as she started to revert into a sobbing mess, something that stabbed at his heart once more, he didn't like all these feelings, it was weird, though as she wandered over and placed her guise in his coat, he felt the need to comfort her as he rubbed his cheek against her own, only for her to continue crying as she buried her face in his chest, limbs meeting up somewhere by his neck as he listened to what she had to say, licking the tip of her nose gently as he stated in his deep tenor notes, “Sh, don’t be so hard on yourself, darling. You aren't anything similar to a fool, you are cute, and no one would probably ever get me to admit that, though I’m telling you this so you can see that I’m not laughing at you, I find everything you do to be so endearing, makes me actually believe that this world isn't totally horrid.” Then a sparkle of humor entered his gaze as he chimed, “Well then, how about we have some fun then?” Without further ado, he slinked his ashen frame beneath her abdomen, lifting her petite self on to his back, trotting through the pond without hesitation, pools narrowing as he headed towards his destination in mind, the nearby gift shop that nearly all tracks like this had. Hey, maybe they could find something fun to do, right?

The sobbing slowly began to stop as he crossed over the little lake. Flutter sniffled as she stared at her reflection in the water. She never likes to look at herself, because she believes she's just a failure, but when she did she smiled faintly at how pretty she thought she was. Of course, she was like those huskies or magnificent slutty dogs, but she was pretty to at least herself. The female softy licked the brute's coat, making sure that clumps of dirt from before were out, and that clumps of fur were untangled. Smiling wider, Flutter nodded in approval and let one of her arms slide off, her paw barely being dragged in the water. "Uhm. If it is easier, it's okay if the water is cold for you, or I'm too heavy. I could just swim or walk or something." Ms. Shy wagged her tail slightly against the back of his head and giggled a little bit. They were friends now, so she didn't have to say sorry as often.

As he continued, Flutter put her tail against her side and used her paw to splash water on him playfully. She looked around and sniffed the air to make sure no one else was around, so she could splash him more and actually laugh. Her laugh was just like how she talked, but more... happier and exciting. Flutter laughed so hard that she almost fell off of him, then giggled and sighed with happiness. "W-where are we going, Malo? Is the place truly going to be fun? What do dogs do for fun? Do they wrestle? I've never wrestled before, because it seems so harsh, but sometimes fun. Do they tell funny stories? I don't know any funny stories. The only story I know that my parents would laugh at was when I was just a pup, and I was running and then I slipped and fell on my face. It hurt. Really bad. And... everybody around me laughed." Flutter looked back at him to see if he laughed, which she hoped he didn't. Trying to change the subject quickly to learn more about him, the maiden looked down and then back at the back of his head. "Is Addisson your pup? Do you have puppies? I love puppies they're so cute and small! And their faces and noses and ears and paws and tails! I just love them!" Flutter pretty much loved everything she saw that was smaller than her for two reasons: it couldn't hurt her, and it's always cute.

When the water began to narrow down, the las took a deep breath and jumped off of him and into the water, even though her head didn't even go under. She scuttled up to Malo's shoulder and carefully made sure they were touching in case she fell under, or something in the water bit her. Flutter turned her head towards Malo's and said with her eyes closed happily, "What do you think is the cutest thing in the world, puppies, or baby bunnies? I love baby bunnies, but puppies are really cute. Have you ever seen a baby bunny? I love them!" Her white tail wagged against his hip as she quickly put her head on his shoulder and muzzled it playfully. Having a friend was something new to her, and she loved the feeling. Everything about it was right, even her friend! He was cute and nice, and he thought she was cute too! Even though Flutter was still quite blind to her feelings towards him. Her tongue ran across his cheek slowly before she ran out of the water and onto the land, shaking off instantly and then looked around as she blushed and sat down, waiting for Malo. Glancing around, Flutter nervously play bowed again, barking lightly and wagging her tail in the air.


Quote at the top of table= Flutter talking about Malo

[?SilentCallings?]

<sub>** The male’s chest was trudging through the clear liquid of the pond, his maw dipped down so as to help his shoulders in moving the verdant lily pads that lurked around him so as to not cling to his currently clean pelage, he wanted to keep it primp and proper now that he had gone through all the trouble of actually making his way through the body of water. Her worried tones floated on over by his lobes as they tilted forward in acknowledgement, though he only shook his head with a chuckle, fluffy tassel raising to curl over his back, tickling her side playfully as he replied with, “You’re like a feather, it’s no big deal.” She felt like she barely weighed a pound upon his muscled frame, probably having to do with that petite aura she carried, for even if she was larger than him, that personality of her’s just made her seem smaller than she was, it was an amazing psychological trick that he noted down in his brain to remember later. After all, that would be a good ploy to use on his next batch of victims, since he definitely wasn't going to have a tantalizing feast tonight, though perhaps he would get something better. Some actual companionship to soothe that icy heart of his.

** They only had walked in silence for a perhaps a few minutes before the pretty Canaan dog began spouting questions at him at what seemed like to be a million miles per hour, his brow quirked as he allowed her to get out all her words, grating them into his short-term current memory to answer one at a time at his own pace instead of struggling to get all of them as they were shot from her machine gun of a larynx, way too fast for him to calculate sanely. Now that she had gotten quiet, releasing her load of queries on to him, the German Shepherd started with his blessing of information on to her, starting calmly with those deep sonorous chords, “We're going to this place they call a gift shop, where a lot of knick knacks are found, they’re fun to play with. Dogs do a lot of things for fun, Flutter, like run and jump, explore the lands around them, use their imaginations to battle fantasy dragons, it all depends on who you are inside. Like if you would ask me, I like to talk to other dogs for fun, since it’s interesting to see what sort of stories they have to tell about their trips around the world, since there are so many foreigners around these parts.”

** He had paused to take in a breath to freshen up those deprived lungs of his, only to nearly sputter out a bout of guffaw at her inference that Addessa was his pup, to which he sated those snorts, shaking his skull once more before fixing it all up with an amused, “Oh no, she’s my little sister~ And I don’t have any kids, thankfully, taking care of my siblings is hard enough as it is, especially when they’re a bunch of lunatics, but I've been given a break these past few weeks since I haven’t seen them.” Finally they were about to breach the shore when his friend hopped off of his back, something that he reluctantly allowed to happen by crouching a bit so she wouldn't harm herself on the way down, especially when there was a possibility that there were sharp objects down there to puncture her paws. He watched her ashen bodice with sharp hazel irises to make sure she was alright, and when she ended up on the bank he smiled, trailing up beside her, shaking his thick hide teasingly as he showered her with his own droplets in return for her paw splashes during the ride on his back. Her continued to bite back those purrs of pleasure that wanted to ring through him as her moist tongue came into contact with his cheek, though he held himself back as he just nuzzled the side of her neck back, stating out shortly, “Come on, we've got to keep moving if we wanna reach the shop by sundown.” So with a flirtatiously light smack to her hindquarters with the tip of his tail, Malo was off, trotting towards the horizon as he casually tossed towards the shy maiden with a smirk in response to her earlier comment, “I like pups, but bunnies are pretty cute… What do you eat? I mean, you look too nice to even hunt, are you a vegetarian or something? Sorry if I’m being random, but I was just, y'know, curious~” Smooth move, hot shot.

Flutter was about to speak again when a sudden shiver was sent up her spine. She had no idea what this feeling was or where it came from, just that when Malo flicked her rear it came upon her. The female lowered her ears and smiled sheepishly, following after him again, her white paws barely hitting the ground. Trying to raise her posture and her head to seem like those dramatic stupid females, Flutter quickly trotted in front of him, sliding the tip of her tail under him, then quickly across his leg in the process. Flutter lowered her head and looked back at him, giggling and wagging her tail across his chest. What does she eat? Bunnies? Flutter stopped suddenly and turned around, trying to become face to face with him, her right by his, "Oh, so you think I'm weak? Well then, mister," pausing and sitting down and lowering her ears, she looked to the corner of her eye and grinned faintly, "you're right. I am too weak, but don't worry, because it's true!" She said the last part so happily, then thumped her tail on the ground and stood up slowly, "So, yeah, I don't eat meat. Even if I did I would never be able to catch a cute bunny, or a squirrel or a bird. Those canines who beat me up called me weak and dainty, which is true." Flutter shrugged and turned around, back up so her face was barely beside his shoulder, she followed exactly what he did.

After a moment of being silent, Flutter looked at Malo and said nervously, "If you don't mind me asking, Malo, but, what do you eat? And uh... when do we have to part ways?" The last question the female said was said slowly, every word being picked. "Well, I uh. You're the only friend I have, and whenever I sleep I think those dogs are coming after me. Or a bear would eat me, or some insane creature would kill me and feed me to birds or bears... but... but... but when you're around I feel safer! D-does that make sense? Also, I want to see what's it is like to sleep with a dog. WAIT WAIT NO, I.. uh.. I meant like.. the non...sexual...way.." Flutter tried to chuckle, and then nervously and slowly rubbed the side of her face into his furry side, wagging her tail and smiling to herself. The las took a deep breath, then slowly backed her head away, staring at the ground in disbelief. What was different about this dog? How come she felt... wobbly... when she's by his side? How come she felt safe? Was this what friendship was? Was it something more?

Her paws were being dragged now with every step. Flutter kept on talking to herself in such a high and light voice, twitching her tail every now and then. "...Would Dad...? The story.... The dogs... what..." She would occasionally chuckle and shake her head, but then just try to flatten her ears against her head. She had no idea where were they, for she just followed the sound, scent, and feeling of her companion. The maiden would cock her head to the side sometimes, her ears brushing by the big brute's back. She nodded and looked up, and once she did she sneezed and looked with her head cocked to the side, backing up once and chuckling nervously. What was this sorcery? Was she imagining this?

[?SilentCallings?]

<sub>** They had been walking in amiable peace, though it seemed like the German Shepherd could never have a calm evening, for despite her innocence, it appeared like Flutter knew how to press his buttons, making him bite down on his tongue to keep from flirting even more, purring at the feel of her fluffy tassel against his chin. Did she even know what that meant, to be so seductive with him in her oblivious manner? Obviously not, so he didn't allow his hopes to get up, for he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be allowed to taint such purity, lest he want some jealous males coming after his hide for claiming the girl as his. He definitely could not be the first man to have felt such lust for her, after all, she was gorgeous, and with an adorable personality, so it was just the entire package, plus every guy loved to defend a damsel in distress, which was why they were known to go after the weaker of the bunch. She then flashed mock anger at him, questioning his intentions about what she ate, after all, she didn't look like she could hunt, not out of strength, but rather that golden heart, and he chuckled as he flashed her a sheepish grin, tail wagging low as he acted like he had been scolded.

** He was about to toss another teasing comment, at least until he heard the words of some other dogs beating her up again, though for some reason, his fury came in a larger amount this time, his ivory hackles raising along his spine like all hell had broken loose, a murderous glint in his golden pools. He slowly glanced over at his friend, gruffing out as his large frame meandered across the dry terrain, “Who are these dogs that are hurting you? Are they in Saddle Creek? Tell me who they are, and I promise they won’t hurt you again.” However he thought to himself in silence so that she wouldn't be afraid of him again, ‘Because they won’t have any legs to move with anymore.’ His attention was brought forth once more as he gave her a minuscule friendly expression, not wanting her to assume that he was mad at her because of her words, no, he was happy that she told him, for now he had a true reason to tear some canines apart into shreds. Though he wouldn't eat that scum, not when they had the ingested fur of dear Flutter in their bellies, they had her blood too, and that was the ultimate straw for him.

** Malo nodded with a chuckle, pride surging through him as he knew he was right, thick hind appendage waving high and mighty over his back as he then took in her own pair of questions, feeling dread settle down in his stomach at this, to which he slowed his pace and thought a bit, only to answer with, “I eat meat, anything I can find that won’t kill me.” He made that flurry of terminology as simple as he could, blunt as well, for he fixed it so that it was still true without telling the entire truth, she didn't need to know that his favorite meal was the sinew of another of his species. Cannibalism wasn't the most appealing trait around these parts. The American was about to answer the second part of her query, a bit sad as he lowered his ears, wondering if she was getting sick of his company, only for her to cut him off with a further explanation upon her melodious terms, his head tilted to the side as he paid heed. His still tail slowly began to wag again with joy as he learned that she felt comfortable with him, not horrified, and he was about to relay the same when the last vocabulary left her larynx, leaving him to hold back a bout of guffaw, grinning widely as he instead chuckled lowly. The glint in his pools presented that he knew she didn't mean anything by that, only rubbing his cheek back against her own in an affectionate manner until they were only a few yards away from the gift shop, only for the Canaan dog to sneeze, such a quiet sound that it was more like a butterfly letting out that gust of air. In turn the two year old stated out, “Bless you. Are you alright?” His brow was quirked as he used his shoulder to slam into the door, swinging it back as it gave them access to the dusty store, the dog bouncing over to a shelf, staring at all the trinkets, mainly looking for those slabs of salted meat that were preserved, his nose pressed against the ground until he murmured out, as if he didn't want Flutter to hear it, “You can stay as long as you want, Flutter. We don’t have to part if you don't want to.”

How strong was this guy anyway? Flutter chuckled nervously and ran inside, jumping over the fallen door. The female's white head with almost a hint of cream to it tilted her head to the side with a smile, then bounded over in front of the brute and did exactly what he did, nose to the ground. She got so close that the top of their heads were toughing. Flutter giggled quickly at his words. Just what she hoped for him to say. "If you don't mind me saying, Malo, I don't ever want to." Her face grew hot just from saying that, and she lowered her ears slightly and looked away, trying to find something else to do. "What are you looking for? Now what do we do?" Flutter nipped his paw gently before she arose, wagging her tail and smiling. Her ears then perked up, and her nose went in the air. She turned around and with her eyes closed, began to sniff out a scent.

Her paws lightly hit the ground, but then a cracking noise was made and she yelped louder than she has spoken before. Instantly falling to the ground, Flutter began shaking in fear, her paw dripping blood from a glass shard. "Malo Malo! They're back they're back!" Her eyes began to fill up with tears, so she soon began to cry from even the slightest pain, remembering those dogs and thinking they were there. She buried her nose in her paws, but to only get blood over almost her whole maw. The broken glass pieces must've been from a window that was knocked out, or a glass bottle. Trying to calm herself down, Flutter tried to sing quietly to herself in between sniffles. Step one, try not to be so self-conscious. Two, shift your weight into your haunches. Three, give a leap into the air and four, just forget your parents are both dead! Chin up! Even if you're not adopted. It's not because you are unwanted. But it might help if you were magic. Not just a boring ugly white Canaan dog who nobody will ever love because you're unworthy!" Even the song she would always sing when she was hurt didn't help. Then again, it never did.

Now that her mouth and nose were all bloody, she began to shake even more. "Malo Malo! I t-taste blood!" She whimpered again and slightly opened one eye to look where she is, then took a deep breath and held it in. Thinking the song to herself, Flutter lifted her head in the air and did exactly what she was singing. "Shake your weight into your haunches. Give a leap into the air, and forget your parents are both dead! With her eyes closed, Flutter quickly got up, shifted her weight into her haunches, and jumped off, landing on her paw with the glass in it and whimpering. Still huffing and sniffling, the lass squeezed her eyes shut and spoke as softly as she could, answering the brute's earlier question. "The-they are all dark black mutts, and one has a rip in his ear, and he's the strongest. They're like some small pack... and most of them have erect ears like me." She twitched her ears to demonstrate, then shut her mouth tight, hoping not to talk so she wouldn't taste any more of the horrid blood. "M-Malo? How come you stopped doing what you did earlier? Like uhm... romantic stuff or whatever? Did I do something wrong? Because if I did something wrong I want to change it because I don't wanna lose you." The female forced her tail to wag gently, lowering her ears and glancing up at the big brute with a sheepish smile.
