"Tux, would you....... like to join the Storm Gorge?" Crescent spoke to him, her words coming out as if it took a lot out of her to ask.

Before she spoke though, Crescent had moved in closer to him, as he stared at her. Her lips drew back, showing a friendly grin and he couldn't resist but to smile as well as he watched her open her jaws, only to shut them again. It was raining now, or at least a light drizzle with thunder booming overhead, getting louder and louder. A flash of lightning lit up the sky above them, right before he answered. "Yes Crescent, I- I would like to join you, in this pack." Tone was low and soft, almost soothing, making it a perfect contrast against the events taking place overhead. Lungs expanded inside his chest, filling his head with her sweet scent as he smiled inside, his eyelids closed, covering his voids.

'She smells nice.' He thought, opening his voids in time to see her rainbow paw landing on his dark pelt, followed by a lick to his muzzle, and her turn away- embarrassed. His body inched a little closer so he could reach her, and licked her back on her own muzzle. This was him, yet at the same time not him. Normally he didn't speak, he communicated non-verbally, but this case was different, and for once, he longed to stay here instead of living like a nomad, he would stay. Neck twisted itself and he licked her once more, this time affectionately on top of her cranium before pulling away, his eyelids closed, cranium down and pointed toward the water.

Never before had he felt this way toward another- especially a female, but if she wanted him here, he would stay. Crescent was cute and kind, as well as pretty and from what he could tell, her persona was wonderful and like his. Yes, he would not leave here, he had found a home.

"W-would you be........ would you be my mate?" Came her sweet lyrics while she nuzzled him affectionately.

If wolves could blush, he would be beet red, and that is no exaggeration. However, he had much on his mind as he analyzed her question with great importance for he didn't want to say the right thing, nor did he want to hurt her. Cranium was still lowered toward the water but slowly rising and he was met by a smiling facade. "Crescent..." Lyrics flowed out smoothly. "This is soon, but yes, I will." Even though he thought it was soon, he thought love took time, but they connected so well, and being together, they would learn much about each other, so why not? Tongue came out once more, as he licked her muzzle agin- grinning. He would keep her happy, as well as protect her and to just be there for her.

Never before had he had a mate, and never before had he owned any type of lands. He was proud, proud of himself but most importantly, proud of Crescent. "Your voids are beautiful." Tux finally said, staring into them as if he was lost inside them. Body twisted itself and he leaned his body lightly against hers, his large cranium rubbing against her soft pelt and feeling her warmth.

[[Ooc:: -Cries- I'm so sorry, it's so short. -Stabs self-

[Nostrils inhaled, bringing the musky scent of the rain with it, among other things. Despite what Crescent may have thought, he knew perfectly well it was the time of courtships, and he also knew she was in heat, like many other females around this time. Many males went crazy over it, all trying to woo the female, or sometimes even forcing them for their own sick pleasure, usually resulting in the female baring pups from the assault. Tux though, was not like them; he would only if she wished it, with no questions. It was hard though, to keep from seeming restless, his muzzle running along her side tenderly until he reach her hindquarters, than pulled back, telling her he knew. Pups in his mind, were a miracle, something to rejoice over and something that could drive the ambitions of some.
Jaws opened ready to answer, when her heard lyrics call out into the air, calling his mates name. His neck turned around swiftly, his mind cursing himself at being so wrapped around Crescent’s scent and radiance, that he had not noticed the other wolf. Body went rigid, ready to protect her if need to be his body went numb. He need not worry; it was not a male, but a female. She was fairly large, like Crescent herself was, but with an onyx black pelt with golden tips and matching gold voids. His chocolate voids followed her warily as she approached his love and stood next to her.

Large cranium lowered itself slightly and rose again in a nod, ”Ma’am.” He spoke low, meeting her gaze for a moment before feeling uncomfortable t looking at her and instead, stared longingly into his mates voids of ever-changing color with a smile on his paw. One day, it would be possible the two of them would have kin, and he hoped they would hold her beauty.
