-Caught in a crossfire-Acnestis-

[Schism]

Schism took in a deep breath. The air settling around them made her feel at peace while they gazed at each other. She nearly didn’t even need to look at Acnestis in order to know of his parallel happiness. She could almost feel it. Her feelings amplified with the connection they shared. There was a change in them both, she could tell. A similar feeling to when she found the way to free herself, before the wolf decided to hunt her. Except this time she wasn’t alone.

She noticed him turn his nose up to sniff at the air, and then roll over. She figured it was nothing considering his instincts were better then her own and decided not to worry about it. After awhile though, she slowly padded over towards Acnestis and laid down next to him. Curling her tail around him although being careful that in the case he didn’t want her close, she could back away.

She didn’t mind that he didn’t have an answer, such a primal being would have no need for a name until now. However a word came to mind, one that she had long since forgotten the meaning of but felt it was fitting. ”Acnestis...” Schism had been referring to him as such mentally already. She wasn’t sure how he would react to the name himself though.

Either way she laid beside him, tail running along his body while the wind blew across them both. A new feeling coursing through them both.
