Not your dog.

Hours later, there was a rustling at the flap of Do'noma's tent as something made its way inside.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:12 pm

The occupant of which apparently was fast asleep, only faintly mumbling something at the disturbance. The tent itself is at a comfy level of cluttered, various things hanging from the 'ceiling', decoration or drying herbs.

And thus it was that soon there was a large, furry presence curled up beside Do'noma's bedroll.

She may not be a warrior and wake at the slightest movement near her but eventually the mere presence of does wake her.

"<Atepa, I told you to stop playing with the coyotes. They always make a mess of the camp eventually...>" she murmurs as she pushes herself up on one arm, reaching out to pet (and wake) the curled up dog.

The pair of yellow eyes that stared back at her were definitely not those of a dog, though it did not seem to object to the petting.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:25 pm

A short moment of confusion later...

"Fire-Hair?" she smiles faintly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:27 pm

"I promised I'd come back."

The wolf gave a snort, laying its head back down.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:29 pm

"You not have to sneak in, but I am happy you did." she smiles and keeps patting the wolf's head.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:34 pm

"I know it's strange that I'd refuse you as a woman, but lie with you as a wolf."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:38 pm

"Little bit. But not expect me to kiss you now." she teases.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:41 pm

"That's might be why it's simpler..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:46 pm

She sighs a little.

"I understand. But should be simple either way." she says, scratching the wolf behind the ear. It's a little hard to overcome the disconnect between the mental voice and the shape of the wolf next to her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:51 pm

"You surprised me, and I'd given up on thinking of anyone that way, man or woman..."

"...but especially women."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:57 pm

"Just scared or not how you feel?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:58 pm

"Would I have kissed you if I didn't want?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:02 pm

"Could have been test..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:09 pm

"No, I've... looked at women that way before."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:14 pm

"But feels wrong to you?" she asks, trying to understand.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:18 pm

"I don't know how your people feel about this, but 'mine' don't accept it at all..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:22 pm

"Stories say long time ago our people split in two. Men went one side of river, women the other, lived like that until they learned still need each other in other ways than that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:23 pm

"But what does that have to do with..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:28 pm

"Lived long time like that. They not get lonely." she chuckles. "Is only story of course. No young ones like that, tribe would stop. But is nothing bad, only teaches that tribe is important no matter who you are or lie with."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:37 pm

The wolf reached out a paw to touch Do'noma's shoulder. It began to shift, growing out into a hand. Fur receded and that untamed mane of red hair grew out once again until Samantha once again looked through her unruly locks at Do'noma with her own eyes.

"...I'm sorry for what I did." She murmured.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:44 pm

She puts her hand on Sam's arm. "Do not be. Am a little scared too. Do not have to go fast, yes?" she says, trying very hard to not think of the fact that Sam's clothes are still at her own camp.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:01 pm

"Suppose we don't. We'll... be seeing quite a bit of each other."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:06 pm

"Seeing quite a bit of you now." she teases, though she makes a point not to look.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:07 pm

"I was just as naked as a wolf," she pointed out.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:10 pm

"Not care about naked wolves though." she smiles, running her hand along Sam's arm.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:33 pm

"Perhaps not."

"So, were do we go from here, owl-wings?" She said, meeting Do'noma's gaze as her hand strayed along the native's shoulder towards the base of her wings.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:40 pm

"Where we want to." she smiles, her feathers rustling ever so quietly as her wings move. "Have more bedding, but... maybe not need it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:45 pm

"I think I wouldn't mind being... warm."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:49 pm

One of her wings unfolds and settles on Sam's shoulder. It's a little small to reach and cover much but the down is soft and it's a more than obvious invitation.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 3:53 pm

Nodding almost timidly, she lifted up the blankets and slipped beneath them, pressing her forehead against that of Do'noma.

"...thank you," she whispered.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 4:01 pm

"Better..." she smiles, brushing a strand of curly red hair from Sam's cheek.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 4:22 pm

"I think... just holding you is enough for now," she said, putting an arm around Do'noma's hip beneath the covers.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 4:28 pm

She nods faintly. "And no worries about things. Only thing mattering right here." She runs her hand over Sam's cheek and to the back of her neck

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:22 pm

"And here is... something I wanted," she admitted, drawing closer.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:32 pm

She gives Sam a quick little kiss. "Am glad to hear you say it. Confused me when you run."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:38 pm

"You weren't the only one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:45 pm

"I know, but... glad you came back. And came to lie with me so can not be angry." she smiles. "Do my best to make you not confused."
