Kaiko;

The male roamed around the ruins, the structure is odd which only made Kai a bit curious. After minutes of walking he finally sat down and continued to looked around these ruins, Kai snorted, wondering what it used to be before it got ruined... Unless it was always ruined. Kaiko then got up, now looking around to see if any other wolf was around, he curled his lips to a snarl wanting some blood on his teeth. He closed his eyes partially having a bored look to his face and snorted again. Maybe if there was a wolf around he can play with them for a little while, trick them. Kai grinned to himself and chuckled. His eyes showed yellow veins just as he continued to grin, now Kaiko would be thinking about possible ways to interacted with a wolf, thinking how pathetic they would or would not be. The possibility was endless, Kai could only wait and see what would happen.

He scanned the area before catching a scent of another wolf... Female.. Perfect.

Kai shifted his brow up before smirking. The male sat on his haunches and wrapped his tail around him. Waiting for the stranger to approach. He inhaled deeply and closed his eyes shut, flattening his ears before twitching his nose. So there he sat.. And waited... Now being still as a statue... Deep in his mind he would think of ways to trick the female and how to make her hurt. But he needed to be patient, so he was.

Goblin;

The cool breeze rushed past, the scent of autumn in the air. Bright sunlight filtered through the swaying trees above and painted their golden colors on the large stone structures that littered the landscape. Standing tall and stil, the structures almost seemed to be at rest. A peaceful rest after a long hard battle of survival, and now they simply sat in the stillness of the earth, a protection and place of security to all who came near them.

Unlike most wolves who find the ruins haunting or creepy, little Goblin found them quite comforting. Yes they were dark and looming and unnatural, but to the small timid little she-wolf, they were a sense of protection a place to hide from enemies. She found security beside their solid structure and refuge beneath their overshadowing mass as they stood tall and regal in the windswept forest.

Removing her eyes from gazing up at the height of the ruins, Goblin let her nose taste the wind as it blew past her face. The air was scented with many smells, but none made her heart quicken, only the chilly air forced her nose to crinkle up with discomfort. Oh how much she just wanted to find a small barrow and curl up out of the reach of the wind and bury her nose under her warm pelt.

But alas, the everchanging wind brought a new sudden scent that was strange. It was a bold scent, and quite fresh, smelling of a thick odor and strong intention. It was the scent of another wolf, and Goblin’s ears dropped and her feet froze up. For a moment she stood unmoving, but a strong gust of wind rushed from behind and almost topple her over, so she was forced to step forward and catch herself. With the help of the harshly blowing wind, Goblin moved forward past a large stone structure and peaked around to catch the sight of a large male wolf that had dark and white colors on his pelt. Without permission, the wind gushed past her and sent her presence directly in the face of the stranger. Her scent of fear was strong as it always was, but her natural sweet scent was also mixed with it. Halfway behind the ruin, Goblin watched the face of the stranger with wide wondering eyes.

Kaiko;

The male continued to stay still, though he expected the wolf to approach him he wasn't surprised she didn't, after all Kai could smell the scent of fear... And yet.. He could scent a sweet scent within her. Kaiko shifted his right brow up and deep inside he would just gag. He didn't like the scent of sweet things, that would mean they're innocent and things of the sort.. But then again, maybe that could be a good thing, innocent wolves tend to be easily manipulated. So he barely nodded to himself, keeping his ears flat and not moving an inch of his body "Hello there." he simply said with his deep voice almost sounding welcoming. He merely grinned as he shifted his eyes to the direction of the female, Kai's eyes sparked yellow in mischief just before he looked straight again.

He stood there for a good minute or two before finally shifting his body and fully facing the female, he peeked his chest up and Kai's tail flicking every now and then. Now analyzing the stranger she would look attractive in a way, but markings would betray her beautiful pelt. Kaiko raised a brow before shrugging it off. He wouldn't be surprised if the wolf suddenly ran off, in fact, he would be surprised if she did approach him.

Goblin;

“Hello there.” His voice sounded out. Goblin almost flinched at how deep and booming his voice was. Or maybe it was just how sensitive she was in situations like this. Her nerves could hardly hold together as his sharp golden eyes bore into hers and sent a cold tendril down her spine. He seemed friendly enough, and his tone of voice captured her attention, but her fear held a firm grip on what authority she held over her muscles to step forward. With most of her body still hidden behind the stone structure, Goblin clenched her jaw to keep it from twitching with fear and said hello. Silence. Were her ears not working, or did she not actually say hello. Embarrassment showed on her cheeks as Goblin realized that one cannot speak when one’s mouth is clamped shut. Her mind must have convinced her pretty well that she had spoken out loud rather than in her head. Dipping her head and looking at the ground, Goblin forced her lips apart and mumbled something under her breath before she actually softly pronounced the word “Hello” and sheepishly glanced back up at the stranger who was still staring at her with a peculiar smile and flicking his tail.

Goblin suddenly realized how rude she was being, hiding from a wolf as she greeted him. She quickly fussed with her clumsy paws and stepped out from behind the ruined rock, her full form visible as her thin shoulders shivered from the fresh breeze that caught underneath her top pelt. “S-sorry,” she said softly again, “my name is... uhm, A-angel.” Her mind raced with trying to remember all the proper communication terms when talking with other wolves. She was drawing a blank. A rather large blank as she bit her lip and avoided his sparkling yellow gaze. “Ahh, it’s very nice to meet you- uhm...” She had something going, but didn’t think far enough ahead until she realized she didn’t know his name. Her tail dropped behind her and she wagged it so sheepishly that she looked like a little embarrassed pup. She had no idea how to fix her mistake, so she sent the stranger a small shy smile with greeting dip of her chin.

Kaiko;

“Hello” the female said softly and glanced at Kaiko who only squinted his eyes. Then the small female walked forward clumsily “sorry” she said softly “my name is... uhm, A-angel.” Kaiko ever so slightly tilted his head as she stuttered her words. Kai didn’t fully hear what the female had said, something about her name being.. Angel? Well, not like that would matter because Kaiko despises that name. “Angel...” he said in his mind, repeating it over and over again in his head “How disgusting...” he turned his head so that the stranger couldn’t see his face before having a face of disgust. Kai then shifted his head back to the female and smirked barely after she had apologized and gave him a small shy smile. “Kai.” he said trying to keep a friendly and calm voice without gagging.

The male thought for a moment of what to say next before opening his jaw and saying something “So... Angie, what brings you here in the ruins?” Kaiko asked while merely shaking his pelt. Kai could still smell the fear she was having especially since she kept stuttering her words, it only made Kaiko grin knowing what fear smelled like. The male slowly walked passed Goblin before circling around her, he chuckled barely before stopping right in front of her face. The male snorted and blinked slowly while staring at her, Kaiko could just imagine her shivering with fear which made Kaiko accidentally laugh barely. The male cleared his throat but he continued to grin “These ruins are unique, isn’t it?” Kai said shifting his brow barely up and with a smirk on his face.

Then he decided to circle around her again, this time trying to make her feel like he was about to attack her. He would circle around Goblin four times before trotting away from her, being five feet away. Then he sat on his haunches and breathed in deeply.

Goblin;

She watched his eyes. They seemed distracted, very distracted. At the sound of her name, he didn’t seem impressed. At the respect of her greeting he hardly payed attention. Was she doing something wrong? Was she too dumb, too clumsy? Was she not pretty enough. Of course not. She never was, and never would be. She was cursed to roam the earth as a goblin of nature. The disgusted of all creatures. Even a wild boar was more beautiful than her. Who could ever love such a pitiful creature as herself.

Goblin felt her eyes moisten and batted them rapidly to keep from dropping tears. Why did these thoughts have to come now. Right when she was meeting someone new. The male spoke his name, and that was enough to distract her from further emotional breakdown. Kai. He said it with confidence. The confidence she wished she had when she spoke her... false name. ”My name is Ang-...” She corrected, but her soft timid words were drowned out by Kai’s question. A question which he finished with a shake of his white pelt. Goblin’s mind had to quick make a switch from processing the use of her false name, to now answering why she was near the ruins. ”I, uhm...” She really didn’t have a specific reason for coming to the ruins, she honestly had just wandered there, but she couldn’t say that, that would sound dumb, she had to think of something intelligent to say. Finally she thought of something, but just as she did, Kai moved closer, much closer and with a tremendous amount of ease and friendliness. Goblin’s tongue froze up, along with the rest of her body. Her neck visibly tensed and her eyes grew wider as his body passed around her. She was much too timid to be comfortable with a wolf who she just met walk a circle around her.

”I- I was seeking out shelter. Shelter from the harsh autumn winds.” With a sharp breath, Goblin pressed her lips together. She had no idea how that got out, but she was glad for it, because it somewhat eased her nerves as the male, who was much, much larger than her continued to rotate around her and ask her more questions. His voice chuckled, and Goblin could almost feel his fangs grazing her fur ready to snap through her bones. She squeezed her eyes shut as the thought sent shivers down her spine. Was it the cold breeze that just blew from behind, or was this male giving off a very aggressive vibe. Either one, Goblin didn’t like it, and she bit her lip to keep from yelping with fright. For once, her paws were itching to scramble away from this Kai wolf, far, far away from his raspy laugh and glossy eyes. ”Th- they are quite unique. Almost lovely.” She softly spoke, and then realized her mistake. Never again would these ruins be lovely to her. Never again would they be a place of protection, a place to feel safe and secure. This awful feeling she was in the middle of would always be waiting for her whenever she returned. Even if this Kai Wolf was nowhere around, the very thought and memory of him would bring back anxiety and fear. The ruins would never be lovely, never again.

To Goblin’s relief, Kai broke his rhythm and walked away from her, a good distance. A distance where she could actually let out a breath of air and breath again. He turned himself around and sat on the ground, sighing. Goblin didn’t understand it, and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to. All she wanted in that moment was to be an even further distance from him than she was now, so she set to make that a reality. ”I- I’m terribly sorry, but I- I have to be going now.” She turned and almost tripped on her paws that were greatly struggling to function properly, but before she turned all the way around, she remembered her manners, ”It was very nice to meet you though, Kai. Uhm, fair well.” Her last words came out in a mumble, and she wasn’t entirely sure if he heard them or not, but honestly, she didn’t care. Her paws were scrambling away from his presence and away from his yellow eyes that she could still feel on her back.


((OOC: I would have Goblin Exit here, I just don’t see her falling for a trick and having him kill her so easily. I realized I kind of want her to die a different way and not just by a bloodthirsty murderer (or die at all). Anyways, I am still leaving it open if it is in his character to attack her or just let his prey go.))

Kaiko;

The male groaned, aggravated as the female talked and explained why she was here. She continued to stutter which made Kaiko want to groan again “How annoying... just spit it out!” he said in his mind while looking away from Goblin. He partially closed his eyes and turned his head to his right. Kaiko glanced at the small female almost in disgust, he wondered if he should just end her life now.. she wasn’t strong, she wasn’t even good looking, such a waste of life. His tail twitched rapidly wanting to just attack and even rip her head off, but no, Kai wasn’t going to do it only because it would be unfair for him.

All he ever wanted was to just die, and yet he couldn’t, he even tried to end his own life but somehow life just finds away to keep him kicking. Maybe if he didn’t kill her other wolves would find her disgusting, horrifying even. He growled to himself, about to let his prey go for once, he didn’t even think of his killing machine side. Kaiko’s ears perked up as the female apologized and said fair well to him.

He glared at her, really regretting the thought of letting her go... letting her walk away unharmed. It wasn’t in his nature to let such a creature go, he wanted to attack, but he had other things to do.

Kai curled his lips to a snarl as she continued to walk away, he then quickly turned his head and bumped his head three time on a stone structure, he did it so hard his forehead was bleeding which made Kaiko slightly drowsy. By then the female would be gone, and Kaiko fell to his side unconscious, he would’ve hoped he hit his head so hard that he would die, but he didn’t, so minutes from now he would wake up feeling pain on his head.
