WHITE NOISE ☆ draekon

Despite that he now pretty much lived in Tanglewood, Worm still took his opportunities to leave the territory when he was able. After all, the territory itself was hot and muddy and didn't exactly get a lot of sunlight, so the lion ended up going on pretty long walks by himself just to think and enjoy the change in weather. Recently, even, he had gotten even more things to think about. The usually suspects were still there – thoughts of his brother, and the old pride, and where Judoth may think they were. But now grieving over the recent death of Arrow was added onto the mix, while also thinking back to his past lover, thanks to his recent conversation with Delilah over her missing the love of her life – even if she didn't quite say that was what he was.

Wormwood had been so lost in his thoughts this time that he hadn't even realized how close he was getting to the territory of the Pitt. He had just been strolling along, his paws sinking a bit into the ground from the weight of a large muscular lion. He was forced to snap out of his thoughts and look up when the sudden smell of the Pitt invaded his senses, and it wasn't just a border line. If it was a border line, he would've been able to smell it pretty clearly in one place, without much fuss, and he could get the hell away from it. But this scent was big, and attached to something moving. The lion slowly looked around, his eyes narrowed as he tried to search for the source of the scent. He rumbled slowly after a couple of seconds, not spotting anything, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"Hello? I know there's someone there... or something."[/glow]

it wasn't like draekon to really leave the cover of the shadows cast by the trees, but he had felt.. adventurous.. and hungry, as usual. but he wasn't hunting, he would be having dinner soon of course, thanks to bai. bai was nice, he liked bai- but he didn't like this new scent. it smelled muddy and.. something he couldn't quite describe. so he had followed it.

he was getting good at stalking his prey- not that this stranger would be his prey. its just what he was used to. he had kept close to the ground, hidden by what little foliage there was, but.. he must've been in the patch of the wind because he seemed to realise he was there quick. he briefly considered not responding, but then again.. he hadn't met a lion before.. not unless fourth counted. he doubted that, though, he was mostly dog. he slowly moved from out of the bushes, keeping low to the ground and letting out a soft growl. he wasn't much of a talker.

When Draekon emerged from the shadows, Worm was hit with a sense of whiplash, openly staring at the other male. He hadn't a tiger ever since his now deceased lover, considering they were about as common as he and Poet, and he couldn't help the way that his chest clenched and his heart ached. Still, now wasn't the time for freezing up, considering he was face to face with one of the members of the group he had been warned about several times since arriving at Tanglewood. He needed to make sure he could get home safely, without having his throat torn out by a tiger.

Taking a deep breath, the lion blinked slowly before finally tearing his eyes away from Draekon, looking slightly off center to the trees behind him, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"A tiger... it's been a while since I met one of you... a long while. You're a member of the Pitt, aren't you...? I'm not looking for any trouble, alright? I just got caught up in my head while I was walking, and I ended up here..."[/glow] Maybe he could get out quickly, before he either got attacked, or the shaking in his legs finally just made him cave in on himself. God, he felt borderline like Poet right now, like he was right on the verge of just passing out. Just seeing a tiger shouldn't give him such an emotional reaction.

when the other started talking, his growling stopped and his ears pinned back. he was talking too much. a soft grunt left him as he slowly rose to his full height and begin to circle the lion with interest. so they really did have manes. that was interesting. he let out another grunt when he spotted the necklace, leaning down to watch it swing back and forth slowly.

Worm blinked in confusion and slight fear as Draekon began to circle him, trying to keep his gaze on the other male as he slowly walked around him. He didn't know what was so interesting about him, but he couldn't help but feel his body heat up slightly beneath his pelt. He felt a bit like he was being inspected, or judged, and he wasn't really sure what to do. He relaxed when Draekon finally stopped focusing on him and started focusing on his necklace. Watching the tiger in surprise for a moment, he reaching up to gently touch the crown shaped charm, mumbling softly as he watched Draekon cautiously, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"Do you... like my necklace? Is that why you're staring so intensely, or is that just your default?"[/glow]

the tiniest little 'meh' noise left him- a chuff is what they were called. a friendly noise. he slowly reached a big paw out to swipe at the shiny thing, watching it swing some more. he was very easy to please. just give him food or something shiny to play with. he let out another pleased noise, glancing up and then back at the necklace.

Wormwood relaxed slightly when he heard the noise, recognizing it for what it was, thanks to his old boyfriend. Of course, this didn't make the noise any less confusing coming from someone in the Pitt. Watching Draekon for a long moment, the lion snorted a bit at how amused the little silver chain made the large tiger in the long run. Worm mumbled softly as he watched Draekon bat at the little charm, his front paws pointing slightly inward, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"P-Please be careful when you're doing that. Don't want you accidentally swiping too close or hard and knocking the breath out of me or something.."[/glow]

draekon had to pause for a moment, looking up at wormwood with wide eyes. yes, wouldn't want that. maybe. he was kind of hungry. slowly, he straightened out his back and let out a grunt, scrunching up his nose and reaching to hook his claws into the chain and pull at it a bit. he was trying to gather his energy to speak, staring at the male with those stupidly intense eyes. "mine." his voice was still scratchy from those five days that the iron band had been squeezing around his neck.

Worm watched as the tiger scrunched up his nose, and he felt his eyes widen a little bit, worried that he had angered the other feline in some way and he was about to be ended from the mortal coil, when all of a sudden there was a paw hooked against his throat, pulling at his necklace. Looking up into the other's intense gaze, Wormwood let put a soft startled and breathless noise, a shiver going down his spine. He couldn't really tell what Draekon was referring to, him or the necklace, since it really could've been either. Not wanting to stir up any extra trouble, he decided to just go along with it, mumbling a little breathlessly, [glow=#793B29,1,400]"I, uh... yes, alright. Whatever you want."[/glow] He stepped in just a bit closer to Draekon, tilting his head up so the tiger had easier access to his neck.

confusion crossed his face for a moment, not understanding what was happening for a moment, but it didn't take him long to finally catch on. he didn't show thats not exactly what he meant- he just wanted the necklace, but his very own lion.. that would be interesting. he gave a soft noise, somewhere halfway between a chuff and a growl. he had to think, find words that he could use that wouldn't hurt his throat as horribly as most did. "name?"
