Just another lonesome tail [OPEN]

[velena]

Vene trotted around the patches of shrubbery, eyes searching for the one bush he'd grown accustomed to eating from. When he found it, Vene sat forlornly in front of the much depleted bush. He'd have to find a new one soon. With a large but gentle paw Vene gathered a choice few of the small blue berries from their stems. He savored their sweetness.

Vene sighed, cleaning the blue-purple stain from his claws. His nose twitched at the scent of previous loners that had passed through and his ears strained for signs of ones nearby. Not all were kind, especially to one as strange as he.

Vene heaved his large bulk up and shook, trying to relieve some of the tension. He looked sadly at his beloved berry bush. He would have to wait another year before its sweet berries would amount to enough to satisfy his ever present hunger. It was time to find another.

Vene's glance traveled across the nearby area. This place held the most plants, but finding fruit and roots was still a tiring task. Vene was not a healer and even now had a hard time finding such things. Perhaps he'd need to catch small prey today. Vene grimaced at the thought. He clicked his teeth as he remembered the salty, coppery taste of blood in his mouth. He disliked such things. He much preferred the juice of fresh fruit.

Zenya's powerfully built form galloped across the Xavrien Heights. Her thick pelt was splashed brown, grey and white, a beautiful mix to hide the scars lurking just below the surface. Muscles built by time rippled under the coat, strong pillars pushing her onward. Built larger then most femmes, Zenya was an impressive sight though still holding her own beauty. Flickering flame-toned orbs glared ahead, a plump rabbit held firm in her jaws. Scenting a brute nearby, Zenya slowed her pace and looked around, catching sight of the dark creature nearby. Dropping the rabbit, Zenya looked over her shoulder.

"Moon, looks like we have company" Zenya barked.

The ivory femme she was speaking to loped out of the undergrowth and turned her head toward the brute, revealing azure eyes misted with blindness. "I could have told you that a leauge away" Moon barked, padding toward Zenya's voice. "Who are you stranger?" she called, wagging her tail in a somewhat friendly way. Recent runins with brutes hadn't turned out well for them so both were cautious.
