Let's Reunite

[Makarov]

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] Lets get back to the simple things in life, okay? So short of a few nicks and a couple of puncture wounds, Twilight had come out of her experience with the wolf by the name of Idris with little more then a light and airy feeling of confidence. Neither of them had one that night, but neither of them had given quarter and in the end both had agreed to take their grudging stance to the battlefield where it belonged. Huh, respect? Let's not go too far shall we, for respect is a little strong of a word. It was more like a mutual agreement on one anothers strength, hell it had been nearing on equal and had they pushed even further they probably would have just killed each other outright then and there. Yes, best to save it for the real war, because for the first time since her youth, Twilight felt the innate need to train and better herself. So next time it did not come out a draw, and she could finish what she started. But still she was pleased, no animosity hanging around her soul after such an encounter. If anything it had been a beneficial release of the everyday stresses. I know what you're thinking though; Twilight Heaven? What does she have to be stressed about? Well if you are asking that then you're a very inconsiderate being and you know nothing about others and the trials they face. Yes she might have been a carefree wolf but that did not mean she didn't have her own demons in her head to deal with. Now it was time to continue on with her particular quest, to pay a visit to the wolf she had not seem in quite some time. A handsome fellow, a crude fellow, whom had become a friend and a lover in some ways, and a complete plaything in others. Hoping, she was, to perhaps find and seduce him once again, shoot the shit for a little while on some sort of obscure plant-based drug and then wander through the twilight back to her packlands still half tweaked. Lets hope she didn't meet some boogeymen along the way though eh? Too late. She pressed her body out onto the black-sand beaches that crept in between the respective territories of the Renegade and Lucifer wolves. Here she slipped unnoticed, her white form contrasted only by the patches of sand that showed through the melted patches of snow. As she went she created a snail-trail of footprints winding about with little aim. She had followed the Crystal Stream this far, all the way out to the ocean, seeking out the spores of the wolf Crouse. It was only when she started catching stronger hints as well as the telltale signs of another male along with him that her casual stroll turned into a full on hunt. She licked her lips and kept on down the beach. Soon she found one set of prints reaching out from the trees, and then not a few hundred meters further another set joined in and they walked side by side for a little while. Twilight Heaven brought her eyes up to the horizon and there they were, two pale-coated wolves, though one obviously darker then the other. Against the darkness of their surroundings, all three of the wolves seemed to glow though. The white witch's tail shot up. "Well fortunate little old me. What. Do. We. Have. Here?" punctuating each word with a hiss as she went she began to approach, not bothering to hide herself in the least. What would the cheeky Crouse's reaction be? She was close enough now to overhear and be overheard as the big fellow bounded slightly towards his companion. "What exactly do you want me to show you?" " Anything and everything, " "Hmmm," she purred. Twilight pulled to a slow stop, slanting her sexy hips to the side as she looked on with a smirk. "Well I'm sure I could show him a thing or three given the chance, don't you think Crouse? Or are you two already busy?" She winked, the implications of her last question clear as day as she somewhat mercilessly teased him. Her tongue moved slowly and with purpose out across her ebony lips. "It's been a while."

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/CrouseMIDDLE.png] Yeah, he was getting pissed off as I pressed him. His gray tail lashed as he glared at me, and it took a deep breath before he looked any calmer. I did envy him a little for that; all he had to do was inhale and he'd calm down at once. It usually took me a long time to calm down if I was really mad about something, even if I wanted to in the first place. 'Hate's a rather strong word.' "Yeah, so?" Amazing, his line of thought was parallel with mine. "It is. I know." He was just staring out at the dark ocean; he wouldn't looking at me. Stubborn, just like me. "But it's my feelings, not yours, so fuck off." I didn't say this too harshly; I still liked my brother. But I'd say this kind of thing to someone like Alejandro, too, or Ineluki. It wasn't personal, it was just my language. When I made my way quickly to his side, he gave a sigh, one that I interpreted to be frustration. Either he wasn't good at keeping his irritation to himself, or he was trying to let me know that I was pissing him off. If it was the latter, then it didn't mean I'd back off. Nah, the knowledge that it was working would just egg me on. 'Well fortunate little old me. What. Do. We. Have. Here?' And that was when all hell broke loose. Well, no, that might be an exaggeration to be honest, but there were several flares of alarm that erupted in my head. My head whipped around, my hackles prickling as I registered who was picking her way slowly towards us. It was Twilight Heaven, that sweet mistake. A light entered into my eyes as I looked her over, remembering every curve from that night we'd...Well, you know. Oh boy. I won't deny that she wasn't sexy as hell, because she was. And I won't deny that I was intensely attracted to her, because I was. But I had to remember Joaquin this time; the last time--and the first time--we'd been together, I'd shoved Joaquin out of my mind so I could explore with Twilight Heaven. However, I wasn't screwing up again, and what's more, we weren't alone. My brother was standing right beside me, so it wasn't like Twilight and I could just get dirty and fuck right here. I was good this time. She gave a purring noise, coming to a stop and angling her hips in an enticing way; bitch, she did that shit on purpose. She knew she was fine as hell, and she would rub that in my face as much as she could. She probably knew that I had a mate, too--she must have smelt Joaquin on my pelt that day long before--and she knew that I'd probably gotten myself into deep shit. God, she was such a bitch. 'Well I'm sure I could show him a thing or three given the chance, don't you think Crouse? Or are you two already busy?' Her last question was so pointed, the teasing tone laced in with her words. I knew what that cunning bitch was trying to indicate, and it was what I'd heard in her tone that snapped out of it. I was just infatuated with her. I mean, if you could see that sexy body, you'd know what I was talking about. It didn't help that she slowly rubbed her tongue along the black line of her lips. But by some miracle, I returned to myself. "'Ey, shut the fuck up, Twi." I couldn't hide the cringe when I used that nickname, the one that'd been so lovingly on my lips that one day. Seeing her again was bringing out a searing edge of vulgarity in me, more so than usual, which meant I'd probably end up cussing up a storm for no particular reason. "You know presicely how I roll." And she would know what I was talking about, even if Auburn wouldn't. 'It's been a while.' "Damn right it has. And why the hell are you here?" Inside, I was fretting. I'd need to be careful when I returned to Joaquin. I'd need to go roll around in something before seeing her, because I couldn't afford her hounding me again. I wasn't even sure if she had recovered from the last time... I didn't bother introducing the two. I didn't even spare a glance for my brother, who'd had my full attention up until this point. I was dealing with my own personal turmoil, leaving me little room for much else. ooc:// Sorry this took me a bit. My muse left me during the week. But here you are!

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/400middle.png] As soon as I finished my senance, my ears twitched. I heard the light crunch of paws hitting the black sand. My brow furrowed as I wondered what could of brought any wolf here. My light amber eyes scanned the area, searching for this wolf. And then I spotted her, a light splotch of the dark sands of this beach. "Well fortunate little old me. What. Do. We. Have. Here?" My ears twitched at the sound of the hiss in her vioce. I could tell it was a she, by the light way she spoke. Her tail rose in the air, and mine did, too, in response to that. My ears were erect, my body slightly tensed at the arrival of this new stranger. A snarl started to rose in my thoart, but I stopped it halfway, noticeing the way Crouse responded to that white female. When he noticed her, his head whipped arround to face her, his hackles rising. Was that regonation in his eyes? Yes, there was. I sent him a questioning glance for a brief second, then whipped my head to face this female. She walked closer, moving her hips. How...simalar in this way that female was to Norther. Both did that. My gaze glazed over for a second as I thought about her. Ah... I would love to see her again. I shook my head slightly, dislodging the thought. Right now I needed to be able to think. Nervously I ran my light amber eyes over her, holding the briefest of eye contact with her before I looked away. I couldn't help it, I was too shy. "Hmmm. Well I'm sure I could show him a thing or three given the chance, don't you think Crouse? Or are you two already busy?" Well, apparently she had caught the end of our conversation. I narrowed my eyes at her, making sure she knew I was watching her. I didn't bother to answer either, prefering to let Crouse do it, since he apparently knew this female. "'Ey, shut the fuck up, Twi." I smiled at him at this comment, knowing how much I wanted to say it myself for no reason. She made me feel angry, violent, as if I already couldn't control temper. " It's been a while, " She said this as her tounge moved across her lips. Intresting. Mentally, I tried to contol my emotions against all this, outwardly, looking composed but wary. "Damn right it has. And why the hell are you here?" Crouse was getting mad again, I could tell from his tone and his eyes. They look chaotic to me. Of course, if he was fighting an internal battle, kind of like mine, they would. I'm sure mine must of lookked just a little wild.

[Makarov]

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] The moment Crouse laid his eyes on this burning, white creature Twilight Heaven noticed something immediately combative about his stance, even the lock of his eyes. It was as if he froze in shock, a deer in the headlights, the moment he encountered the searing, almost agonizing light that this demoness was told to give off. Part of this pleased her while another put the idea of slight unease into her mind. It was as if he wanted her to come oh so much closer, but preferred she stay far away altogether, oh how incredibly delicious. So the game, the one Crouse had been so sure he had avoided when he had first come across this wicked temptress, was in full swing and he was the lonely puppet on binding strings. Stowing this in the back of her mind to enjoy endlessly later, she did not flinch from her posture, ever-dominant and remained standing there was that snide look on her wildly beautiful face. "'Ey, shut the fuck up, Twi." Ah, the curse words, the infamous mask which Twi had quickly learned the beige wolf used as a diversion method from the less savory topics. She felt his flippancy almost smack her across the cheek, any harder and her face would have deflected to the side as if she had been physically struck. Instead the snide ghost on her lips upturned into a grotesque sneer. "Ouch, so touchy. Always the saucy one, Crouse." A kind of wary anger lurked in the fire of his enchantingly masculine eyes. They were nothing like Alejandro's but they were something, and he was doing his best to hide the strange fear that she brought over him. Not of her physical strength, but of her seductive prowess. She could practically see two halves of his self wrestling with one another, Common Sense keeping a firm but wavering hold on Pure Lust, whom slavered and giggled insanely beneath. "You know precisely how I roll." She let him off with a cheeky wink. "Of course I do, of course." Simultaneously her body was moving forward, boldly stepped a little passed Crouse as she stuck her muzzle out inquiringly towards the darker pelted wolf. A mix of unknowing anger and embarrassment radiated from his every pore, a nervousness. Twilight Heaven paused her sifting over the individual tell-tale smells, there was something else. She jerked her head lightly, strafing her eyes from Auburn to Crouse and then back to Auburn once again as the realization dawned in her eyes. Of course. The smell was the familiarity in blood. The very odor that drifted off of their unkempt, male pelts was distinguished and different, but at held at it's heart the same base element, something earthy to it. He had some qualities - strongly male features which Twilight was sure would earn the paw of some adequate she-wolf down the line - but he was not nearly as much of a looker as the creme colored wolf to the side of him Her smile crackled into something more knowing and she closed in a little more on Auburn, maw outstretched as her nostrils twitched and her translucent whiskers danced. With his hackles raised nervously, she made sure to affront close, but not too close, so as not to risk him snapping at her like some sort of anxious shelter-hound. Crouse spoke, but she heard only the last words. "...Why the hell are you here?" She finally allowed her attention to divert fully back to him, forcing her face into a more placid tone which seemed to say. Oh quit your worrying and lighten up. "That's not dreadfully important, hon. Long story short I got a little bored and did some off-duty wandering. Besides my father's pets...err, knights rather - and mind you they're a pretty dull eyed bunch - there really aren't many wolves around for me to carry on a conversation with unless I wish to yammer on about battle strategies and old campaigns. So I came down Crystal Stream way figuring I could at least shoot the shit with you but lo and behold no one was around. Did chat with, oh what's his name again? Ale...Alejandro?- (LMFAO) -Anyways you weren't around to I followed your trail thisaway." Twilight took a deep gulp of air, filling her lungs after the breathy little speech. She could see that Crouse was completely ignoring the wolf to his side. "But my Crouse, what a surprise. Shame on you, you never told me you had a brother." Her vampyric gaze, as crimson as the courts of hell, bore deeply into Auburn's body. "And what would your name be, darling?" she cooed, completely ignorant to the abasing way that the two seemed to be looking at her. Didn't bother her in the least. She was used to being an unwelcome shard of rock caught between the toepads of every wolf she met. ooc;; Omg my writing feels so juicy. That was so fun to write.

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/CrouseMIDDLE.png] There were two halves of me warring with one another, making it difficult to think clearly. One side knew very well that Twilight was off-limits, and that it might be better to weasel myself away from this place. The other side, however, did not care that she was off-limits. That side wanted her, because it clearly remembered the hazy memory from the Crystal Stream, when we first met. I worked to put a mental picture of Joaquin in the forefront of my mind, hoping that she would give me some clarity. 'Ouch, so touchy. Always the saucy one, Crouse.' Damn right I was touchy. And I hated that she knew that (I wasn't hiding it too well, unfortunately) because that meant she had power. And Twilight Heaven with power? Be careful, the world might explode due to that devious mind. Her lips were now twisted into an aggravating sneer as she mocked me. Then I told her how I rolled, and that she, of all people, knew how I did. 'Of course I do, of course.' A wink followed those words, something that excited the worse half of myself, making it difficult for the better portion to keep a good hold on it. She started snaking her way forward, keeping in mind that she just had to fucking tease me with her way of walking. Girls were bitches, all of them. Even the ones you loved. Agh, I really needed to get out of here, but I couldn't without looking like some kind of baby. I watched silently as she pointed her nose toward Auburn--and finally I remembered that he was here, and thank God for that, because who knows what I would have done--and her eyes flickered between he and I. I could practically see the gears turning in her head, and finally I was able to mask my face with another emotion. It was the kind of look that you give somebody when you're waiting for them to figure out something you already know. Most people tried not to mock, but I did. She sidled herself closer to Auburn, which was fine with me. The further away she was, the better. He could have her, by all means, though I have to admit that I felt a slight twinge of jealousy. That emotion housed in the slice that wanted to fuck Twilight all over again, the part that just wanted my body to be rubbed all over hers. So, naturally, the jealousy would not win. I wouldn't let it. 'That's not dreadfully important, hon. Long story short I got a little bored and did some off-duty wandering. Besides my father's pets...err, knights rather - and mind you they're a pretty dull eyed bunch - there really aren't many wolves around for me to carry on a conversation with unless I wish to yammer on about battle strategies and old campaigns. So I came down Crystal Stream way figuring I could at least shoot the shit with you but lo and behold no one was around. Did chat with, oh what's his name again? Ale...Alejandro? Anyways you weren't around to I followed your trail thisaway.' I hadn't expected that little speech, but half of it didn't really pertain to me. To be honest, I didn't give a damn about the Order and their ranks. They were our allies, so maybe I should have paid more attention, but I just flung those words out the window. What did pertain to me, however, was the mention of Alejandro. My ears actually twitched at the name, and inside, I was just floundering. Holy shit, she talked to Alejandro? Did they do more than just talk? Ah shit, poor Joaquin. I regarded her carefully, wanting to know more of the situation. "Alejandro? What did you two chat about?" Nothing too important, I wouldn't think. And surely not about her looking for me. Nope. It would have to do with something else entirely. 'But my Crouse, what a surprise. Shame on you, you never told me you had a brother.' "I didn't think I had to give my lifestory," I snapped. Really, all I wanted to do that day was get high as a kite and get on top of her. That's it. I didn't think I needed to explain my lifestory to her. Right now, though, I just wanted her to get her bitch ass right on out of here. I was tired of these fretting emotions, and I was tired of her prancing herself around like she was the G--damn Queen of the world. Her eyes were fixed on Auburn, and there was a look that I thought I recognized. I spared a single glance to my brother, and I could tell that he didn't like this situation. But I wasn't sure if he knew I had this affair. I wasn't sure how much he connected. Either way, he was wary of this bitch. 'And what would your name be, darling?' Ick, what the hell was she doing? She was talking to him like she might talk to a baby...God, I might gag. "His name is Auburn," I snapped, hoping to cut my brother off. I wasn't being courteous, but when was I ever? "He just got back, and we have a lot of catching up to do. Now, if you wouldn't mind?" I made it clear with my tone that I wanted to leave. I even took a step back, hoping that Auburn would comply and he'd turn around as well. But I was worried that he was already sucked into the overwhelming lust any male would feel for this Goddess. That's why I had immediately assumed that Alejandro had relations with her; I wasn't sure he could contain himself anymore than I could, and he like a brother to me. ooc:// Your writing was indeed juicy, Makaface! So much fun to read! And this one was fun to write! :D And that part where she mentioned Alejandro...I literally dropped my jaw and covered my mouth to stifle giggles. :3 I was like OH SHIT! Hehehe

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/400middle.png] This whole exchange between them was...unuasual, to say the least. This was the first time I've seen Crouse almost panicking. Just barely. She was coming closer, ever so slowly. I knew she could feel my embrassment, for I didn't even bother to hide it. I shifted ever so slightly away from her, just enough to give me some space. She mayy look slightly like Norther, but there was some key differances. For one thing, her crimson gaze. It made me feel ever so slightly replulsed by her, the oppisote of Norther's green-eyed forest gaze. I ignored the exchange they took. I was too busy trying to do anything, anything to get away from here. I felt crowded in by those two wolves and everything else. "But my Crouse, what a surprise. Shame on you, you never told me you had a brother. And what would your name be, darling?" My pelt bristled. She was talking to me as if I were a pup, much the same way as Ember does. A familar flash of anger went through me. I glanced up, caught her crimson gaze on me, and held it, the molten anger visable in my eyes. And then Crouse did something that made it worse. "His name is Auburn, He just got back, and we have a lot of catching up to do. Now, if you wouldn't mind?" I quickly glanced at Crouse, noted his tension. He was restraining himself, trying to hide himself behind a mask. But he still made me angry. " I can talk, you know, " I snapped, my angry tone carried in the agitated manner of my tail and ears. There were held high, tensed. I glared at Crouse. Crouse took a step back. I knew it wasn't because of my angry gaze, more like he wanted to just leave. And I knew he wanted me to come. I didn't turn arround, even through I really wanted to leave Twi.

[Makarov]

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] While Crouse was becoming more and more preoccupied with just getting the fuck out of this place and getting Twilight out of his fur for good (haha fat chance), it seemed that his brother had another agenda. The whole situation turned topsy turvy in some ways for the beige wolf, so used to having some sort of mild control over a situation and now it seemed he was in the passenger seat and there was not a thing he could do about it. Though she was predominantly focused on the darker colored wolf, out of the corner of her eye she caught nervous sideways glances. Crouse's eyes seemed to roll insanely inside of his head like a prey animal's worried gaze as it lay there, your jaws clamped firmly around it's throat. That was just it. Crouse was suffocating. "Alejandro? What did you two chat about?" he managed to ask. Plucking her interest away from the brother, Twilight's ears glanced upwards quickly like a pair of beautiful white shells with creamy pink insides. She knew what he was insinuating, and it tickled her. Her perfectly black-lined lips snapped back from her fangs and the she-wolf allowed herself to laugh hartily. The sound was like the far-off tolling of a great bronze bell somewhere in the highest belfry of an ancient church. A whimsical, musical tone lingered in it and from that it was not hard to imagine why this sultry demoness was so well sought after. Or why Crouse seemed to be oh so afraid of her. Wrapping up her laughter she glanced at him with a twinkle of tears in her eyes. "Just business as usual," was all she said, leaving the rest open to imagination and speculation. Oh she would let this eat up Crouse from the inside out... A feint smell stopped her almost dead in her tracks though, something lingering on her beige former-lover's fur and it was mixed in ever so deeply. The female she had detected before, well lets just say she was not the happiest nor the thinnest bitch in the forest right now. Oh Mother, this just gets more and more juicy. So Crouse was a father now? Fantastic, and so well suited if the rest of his unholy spawn turned out to be a pack of whores just like the rest of the family. Here she just grinned at him, knowingly. Again the big male, deflected, attempting once more to slink away with what was left of his pride intact. "His name is Auburn... He just got back, and we have a lot of catching up to do. Now, if you wouldn't mind?" "I can talk you know!" the one called Auburn bristled with sheer indignity Perfect, a slight rift had been formed and how easily it had been done. Twilight marked down this moment in her mental calendar and like the brilliant huntress she was, would catalog and watch for any more shifts in the crust of this relationship. From the way the two reacted to one another this was more then just meeting up to catch up on past events. No this was the first meeting, awkward yet crucial and it all the more put the wily trickster on a bit of upper footing. Crouse was now stepping away physically, leaving nothing to imagination, he just clearly wanted to go away or for Twilight to go away in turn herself. Fat fucking chance of that, Crousie. Auburn, still fuming from being treated as though he could not think an ounce for himself, tired of being overbore upon, seemed to be snapping and straining under the pressure. "Oh I don't mind at all," she said with a casual shrug. She did not budge. She was going nowhere. Her pretty face angled back a bit and it was only now that she dropped the demeaningly motherly tone and addressed Auburn as a proper young man. "Welcome back to these parts, Auburn. How you so quickly found yourself mixing up with Crouse and his bunch I will never know but be thankful you're on this side of the fight if you catch my drift." Chances were high that Auburn would know nothing of the climatic happenings that had gone down since his time away from this place but what she spoke was the truth. He smelt of the Renegades, and if that stayed the same then he'd soon be meeting his demise at the end of one of her father's lacky's teeth or even the end of an Olen' Blade. Maybe this would open up more questions. She turned her head sharply back to Crouse, taking a step towards him as if he were a flighty deer. "You're looking rather thin Crouse," she teased.

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/CrouseMIDDLE.png] This conversation might not have meant much to the outsider. We were playing on memories, really, and nothing we said was enough to reveal the whole story. I wondered vaguely if Auburn understood anything we said; if he did, he kept completely quiet about any thoughts he had. Since he had no hand in this conversation, and he was obviously keeping out of it, I didn't try to let him in the know. So sure, I was exhibiting the cold shoulder. 'Just business as usual.' And that was all she said, leaving me to flounder about and wonder what exactly happened. Shit, now I'd have to track that dumbass down and fill him in on what he'd gotten into; and to be filled in myself. I wanted to shake my head with frustration, but I wouldn't give that bitch the satisfaction. I simply glared at her, my jaw clenching. If she ended up dead somewhere in a ditch, I don't think I'd mourn. "Gah," I said lowly as I exhaled, the grunt mixed up in my breathing patterns. Something strange happened in that next moment. Something flickered across her face, but it was too quick for me to track. Suddenly her face busted out into a huge grin as she stared at me, and there was something so pressing within that expression. It made me anxious, because I had no idea what was turning around in that mind of hers. All I knew was it was something new, something just thought of. Fuck, what was it?! I was tempted to pin her down and get her to say something, but it wasn't exactly ideal with my brother here. 'I can talk, you know.' Slightly startled by his angry outburst, my ears twitched, my eyes flashing to his irritated face. I wanted to tell him to just shut up, to stay out of it. The harsh words even bubbled up through my throat, tempting to spill over with an excited front. I was unbelievably frustrated that I wasn't able to handle the situation, that Auburn refused to cooperate. Yes, he had a backbone; he stood there stubbornly, not taking a single step in my direction. It was good that he had such a backbone, but it pissed me off now because he was using it against me. "Then talk, dammit. Not like I fucking care." I scowled, turning my face away from the both of them, out toward the sea. I hated this place. If I ever got out of here today, I don't think I'd ever come back. In reality, this was not true, but at the moment I was just so livid that I never wanted to see these dark sands again. What I wanted--other than getting out of here--was to talk privately with Twilight Heaven. And now, I don't mean to insinuate any hanky panky. I literally wanted to talk. I wanted to know what Twi's intentions were, why she was bugging me, and why she had taken it upon herself to seek me out. We'd had a one night stand, and nothing more. I didn't care for her. I had no emotional strings attached to her; maybe she did, but I was all too eager to cut them. It was a one time thing, and that was it. 'Oh I don't mind at all.' She didn't budge an inch, much to my displeasure. My attention was on her, my cold gaze continuing to regard her in an irritated way. Stupid bitch, you can go fucking die were the words floating around in my crude mind at that very moment. Yes, lovely I am, I know. 'Welcome back to these parts, Auburn. How you so quickly found yourself mixing up with Crouse and his bunch I will never know but be thankful you're on this side of the fight if you catch my drift.' "If you would recall, you took no time in mixing yourself up with me and my bunch." She went from fucking me to fucking my buddy, Alejandro. What a whore. She took a step toward me, moving those dreadful eyes onto me as if she were some kind of predator and I were her prey. Not a bad metaphor, although I would much appreciate it if it were turned the other way around. 'You're looking rather thin Crouse.' "Ahaha," I sneered, "You're such a comedian. Exactly what I love about you." All sarcasm, of course, though if you had a hard time figuring that out, you must be slow. Go die. I looked back to Auburn, my gaze trying to reason with him, though he was not looking at me, and therefore it wasn't working. "Come on, Auburn, work with me here? I don't think you want to get mixed up with her. Bad choice, buddy." Believe me, I knew. I wasn't telling him this because I cared about him, though. Oh no, of course not! I would just say whatever the hell I had to in order to escape.

How you so quickly found yourself mixing up with Crouse and his bunch I will never know but be thankful you're on this side of the fight if you catch my drift." That sentance unleashed a seris of questions in me, but also told me a lot. I cast a questioning glance at Crouse before I remembered that I was supposed to be angry at him. Then that gaze hardened into anger. So there's a fight going on. Personally, I wouldn't want to get involved but if it concerned my brother then it would be hard not to. For a second I felt a breif surge of protectivness. I would make sure he never died, but as for right now, I would be glad if Twi could knock some sense into him. The conflicting emotions were hard to control. On one side, Twi and anger. On the other, Crouse and brothership. It was so hard to control myself. "Then talk, dammit. Not like I fucking care." My ear twitched as I fought the urge to leap on Crouse and rip him apart. Never had I had such a strong urge to give in to anger. I decided to use words instead of claws. " You do care, otherwise you wouldn't be speaking to me. Unless, of course, you want me to leave you alone with her, " I flicked my tail pointingly towards Twi. I knew he was uneasy arround her, even if I didn't know why. This whole thing was making me angry and annoyed. Right now, I was almost, almost hoping that she would leave. But I craved company. And I wanted answers. What is going on in this place? Whatever it was, I'm sticking with Crouse through it. Or else I wouldn't know what was going on. Right now, I was ignorant. And it annoyed me so much. And then Crouse changed from angry to almost pleading. "Come on, Auburn, work with me here? I don't think you want to get mixed up with her. Bad choice, buddy." And I thought the whole point was to teach me. I turned my head and stared Crouse right in the eye. For once, I let my thoughts fill with evergreen eyes that I've seen before. It calmed me down and helped me resise the temptation to be alone with Twi. My amber eyes cooled. " You know what? I think you might be right, " I said, my voice impatiant for this to be over with. " Twi, go jump in a lake and drown, "

[atrb=border,0,true][cs=7][bg=000000] Anger and annoyance was boiling over into a condensed broth of fury. Oh yeah, Crouse. You just want to jump on me and make me spill all my secrets don't you ya horndog? This ran through her mind, then through her eyes, which worked like a double set of crimson marquees, ticker-taping off all of the little obscene snags of thought that were gushing across her hemispheres. Despite how keenly they wanted her gone though she would go nowhere until she made sure she delivered the news she saw fit. Twilight Heaven may have been out for herself, but she knew what an ally was and was not all too intent on letting the Order's only allies, as lazy and useless as they were, go under while they were in power. Bad form, dontcha know? Crouse was going to attempt to get under her skin either way and drive her far from here. For a moment, just a moment she considered keeping her knowledge a secret but when Goldshlager had come to her with blood on his breath and told her what he did, doubled with the meet-up with Idris not that long after - her lower jaw had scabbed over and now smarted faintly - she knew she would have to say something. "If you would recall, you took no time in mixing yourself up with me and my bunch." "Uh huh Crouse. Well we could stand here flapping our bullshit spouts about things we already know, or I could tell you something you don't know." That aughta perk him up a little, get the real curiosity rolling. Hah, she even chose to ignore his little remark about her being such a comedian. Yep, laugh it up you cream-colored manwhore, chuckle nervously behind that wavering mask of yours. You know you wanna know. But before Crouse could answer to her, the brother to brother spat started up again in earnest and the white witch watched, interested as she always enjoyed the presence of chaos and turmoil before her. Their snapping back and forth turned dangerous, darker...darker... lighter? What? Much to her chagrin, Twilight felt the tension fade and Auburn seemed to soften towards his sibling, finally understanding the message coming off of him in panicky waves. She could even deal with that but when the darker male turned to her and with a blithe smile said. " Twi, go jump in a lake and drown, " Without warning her impressive form turned into a muscular blur and she launched herself towards Auburn and if he did not back the fuck up she would lay a handsome line of scars down across his muzzle with her claws. Granted he moved though she would land in front of his face, lips already peeled back to reveal the ivory beartrap of her devilish tusks and every hair down her spine had arced up in a tell-tale sail. This sorryass little piece of shit wanted to be treated like an adult yet he was acting like a snooty kid who couldn't make up his mind and well, Twilight rather enjoyed the insults she got from the wolves she knew, but Auburn was stepping out onto hot coals with this one. "Listen you little fuck," she snapped, spittle flying from her furiously gnashing fangs and landing every which way. "I don't give a moose-fart if you're Crouse's brother, if you're gonna be saucy then watch your tongue because when you have it flapping around like that you're likely to lose it." Giving one last crack of her jaws together in front of his muzzle she went to turn away before throwing an afterthought back at him, a final jibe she knew would get right under his flesh and piss him off. "Now let the adults get on with their business." Her eyes panned to Crouse. "For once I'm not shitting you. If you'll be willing to listen... if you're not then it's your funeral and not my concern."
