Visibly flinching, Lupus turned away, flexing his claws. "...and if you hated said former lover and just recently tried to kill the wolf... would you still do so?"
...not to mention that blood oath... the damn fae...

The fae took note of this flinch. Studying him carefully 'for a reply was given. "Oh, well, that's different. Then I would do everything in my power to destroy said lover, to the point where I would ask for help if I needed it."
I wonder...

He could feel his mouth beginning to grow drier.
"...and if said lover couldn't be killed?"
...and I know she can't...

"Then I would take my true lover and run away. Run as far away as I could. To the very edge of the Realm if I had to in order to live in peace once again. Leaving, hopefully, all memories of said lover behind with said lover."
Quite the predicament you've created for yourself.... It's not.... Verlust, is it, Lupus? You wouldn't be that....
The fae's gaze remained on him, studying him, wondering..

Morphing into a bipedal wolf, Lupus leaned back, pressing his fingers into his skull and staring forward with a frown on his maw. "If only I could..." he whispered softly to himself. "If only I could..."
...peace... such a strange word... but she garaunteed that I'd pay if I went back on our promise, and unless GoldenWolf himself waltzes in and let's me off the hook, I don't think there's much hope for 'peace' in our life...

New Moon was about to shift her gaze from him but stopped. Gazing intently at Lupus as he morphed, something she'd never seen before. It interested her quite a bit. Perhaps she even stared at him, in curiosity and wonder, who knows. Eventually her gaze shifted to the headless corpse and she gazed at it with an odd intensity. "What to do now.... What to do now...."

"If you are able to fetch his head-" he nodded toward the corpse, "I could get someone to put him back together... much as I wouldn't like to."
But then again, what are the chances of finding his head now?
He shifted his position, looking up at the sky with a strange gleam in his eyes. "...I wonder if she would truly leave Rhain and I alone if I gave her a child..." he mused to himself.

New Moon sighed and allowed her crown to fall to the ground once more. "It'll be awhile before he exists again then. Between regaining my strength and finding his head it could take moons..."
Her maw seemed to turn into a scowl, or frown. Something close to a curse perhaps muttered under her breath. "Which direction did the half that has some sense fly off in?"

Lupus looked out into the forest of the dead and sighed to himself. "Your guess is as good as mine..." But his heart was still burning with the questions that continued to haunt him even during their conversation.
What should I do about Verlust?

Optics stared out at what looked like nothingness to her. "Maybe I'll get lucky.... Maybe I'll stumble over it.... Just maybe...." There was something about Lupus, it caused unease in her. Was he frustrated? Angry? Sorrowful? She couldn't quite place it.

"Yes- maybe you shall.."
Lupus cast a sideways glance at the fae, raising a questionable brow. "Are you alright? You seem... a tad uneasy...?"
And you should be one to talk he growled inwardly at himself.

The fae shifted uoncomfortably.
Damn... does he know? Or just guessing, perhaps lucky?
She studied him carefully, wondering, pondering.
"Just a little... startled.... by whatever.... emotions... seem to be in you at the moment...."
She took her dead time with this single sentance, saying the words slowly, and almost so far apart at times that it was hard to tell if it was all apart of one sentance. Voice was sort of... unsteady... to say the least.

Lupus watched her with a blank stare, his twitching ears the only indication that he was listening to her words. But in all actuality, his mind was fervently racing with thoughts... and, when New Moon was finished, he inhaled sharply and turned his back to her.
"..."
He couldn't think of much to say in reply... mostly because he had honestly no idea what emotions were racing through him at the moment.
He heavily frustrated, he knew that. He also hated Verlust, he knew that for sure as well... or did he?
Lupus shifted uncomfortably, glancing up at the sky. I hate you... there's no going back- I hate you. You won't tempt me again... never!
"...I wish I knew," he murmured finally, flexing his claws.

The creature stared up. Up into the nothingness that might have glimmered with stars, might not. Up into.... was there anything above her now? Or was it all just nothingness, black, bleak, empty nothingness?
A shiver ran down her spine, making her whole figure tremble for a second, and she dismissed the thoughts. Or attempted to at any rate.
What now.... Find Regulus' head? What would happen when Lupus had someone re-attach it? Would they fight again? Would she have to retrieve more then just a head next time? If there was a next time.... Could she just wait here, lay here, forever? And what exactly was 'forever'? Would she ever be....just...gone....?
The answer should have jumped out at her. It didn't.
"Lupus... is there.... anything? Is it just.... nothingness....?" Her orbs of liquid icy fire were still gazing upwards. She sounded like a foolish pup asking that question, but she had to know.

Lupus closed his eyes slowly at this question, as he was wondering quite a similar thing... Is this all there is? For ever and ever...?
"That depends... if you're willing to make a 'life' out of this, then there's without a doubt something more..." He nodded in the direction of Regulus' corpse. "...I still see stars sometimes..."
He spoke his finaly words very quietly, thinking back to his marriage to Rhain... of his love and devotion to her before Verlust had reappeared from the ashes.
...I had a life... even when I was dead.
