Amazing, truly. Had the lady just really changed colors before his eyes? He found that so intriguing- she just boosted his interest times a thousand. His mouth had gone dry, funny how that happens when you finally try to say something. Luna had been so subtle about her change- he at first, thought she wasn't going to reply; like she didn't know what he was talking about. Yet, there it was- a gorgeous brown, and then an electric pink.
Violet eyes could not leave the rainbow wolf- he wondered if she could change her eye color as well. Could she do camoflage? Multiple colors? She sat before him, a cute smile plastered on her face- confident. He liked that. She made his power seem so- unimportant. It was unimportant, he couldn't control it like she could- he could try no doubt.
Taboo shot to his feet and stepped away from the snow wolf- imperial eyes concentrated on the beauty before him. Would she laugh at him in that cute chuckle? Or would she look at him in disgust? Turning into such a weak creature. There was only one way to find out, correct?
He shifted his gaze to the ground, wind ruffling the fur about his neck, "Ah- I have a power, but I don't know if I can activate it on will. I have tried many times..." If he couldn't do it, he wasn't going to outwardly tell her what his power was, it was way too embarrassing- she would just have to see after all.
Taboo placed his feet apart- still looking at the ground, closing his eyes as he concentrated on something in the back of his mind. Come on, I can do it.. Muscles began to quiver, images raced through his mind- carrots, running, jumping, morphing beneath a prickly bush. He loved prickly bushes, not many predators chose to chase one into it.
Something felt odd atop his head; heavy for some reason, and something was odd with his mouth. His teeth felt pressed together, pressure almost had him wincing in pain. Opening his eyes, he stared down at the end of his nose. What?! Beneath his leathery nose was a pair of buckteeth, that had to have been what had happened; he hadn't fully morphed! Oh Lord, now he looked like a clown!
The poor wolf looked like a circus act, large buck teeth, a poofy cottontail instead of a wolf's elegant banner, and a pair of floppy ears (almost like bugs bunny). Taboo stepped backwards, gasping- his eyes cross eyed as he shook his head; this was not suppose to happen! "No, no, no! Oh this is so embarrassing! Do not look at me!" He turned away from the female and hid his head beneath his paws, ears folding flat against his skull- sadly his cottontail was still exposed for the world to see. He wondered if the gods above were laughing at him.

When he did finally shift only parts of his body, she couldn't help but let out a soft giggle but felt sympathy fill her body as he lay on the ground and hid his face behind his paws. Crawling towards him, she stopped when she was right in front of him, laying her nose on her paws so they were nose to nose. A smile was still on her face as she looked up at his floppy ears before looking back at his face once more.
"It's alright, I think it's cute." she replied, her voice soft and warm as she comforted him. She was guessing that he could shift into a rabbit which could also have pros and cons. For one thing, rabbits were adorable, at least she thought they were. But on the other hand, they were prey for most wolves. |

She thought it was cute? Typical female reaction. He should have known she would find it cute- no one could take him seriously, how would his power work to save anybody or anything if it needed? She could save herself- blending into shadows or underbrush, he knew he wouldn't notice her if he wasn't looking for her. She was sweet though- she didn't just stand there and laugh at him, she had come over and nose bumped his.
The male wolf sighed, biting his lower lip; which wasn't hard seeing as he had two logs sticking out of his mouth now. How could she find that cute? He looked up at her with sad eyes- he would probably understand why it was funny if he could see himself; at least he tried to morph in front of an understanding person. It could have been worse, he could have gotten stuck with that monster, Hannibal. He shivered remembering the experience- the chase in the underbrush, those devouring eyes.
Snapping back to the reality in front of him, his speech muffled from the gigantic teeth- "That wasn't suppose to happen Ms. Luna- I am sorry you see me like this. I don't see how you can think it is cute, I look like a freak show and have no idea when it will wear off. I told you I couldn't control it. How did you reach inside and isolate yours?"
Curiosity lit up his eyes, he looked rather pathetic- like a pup who had just been caught by his father and given a thorough lashing for eating their reserve food supply. Not saying that had happened to him, before....

"Well, I clear my mind and think about what I want the result to be. I concentrate on what color I want to be where and a moment or two later, it is there. Plus you have to believe you can do it. If you doubt yourself then you won't be able to succeed." she answered, raising her head up but remained laying down in front of him.
Her light blue eyes took him in and she wondered what it would be like to shift into an animal completely. She had always wondered that but had met very few wolves that could actually do it. She hoped that she would get to see him when he was able to shift completely. Maybe with some practice and a little faith, he would be able to do it.
"I believe in you." she added softly, lowering her head down in front of his once more. A smile crossed her face again as she looked up into his purple eyes with her own light blue ones. |

Clear his mind- that should be easy enough, right? All he had to do was block out the incoming pain he was calling upon himself. Every shift was painful- at least for him, maybe it was because he was inexperienced, he just needed to tune his body out. Sort of push himself into his own little world, even.
Imperial eyes seemed to sigh- this was going to be tough, there would be no way he could ever forget what had happened in his past, or what was happening around him- he was too observant. Dang him and his attention disorder! It always got in the way when he didn't need it to, maybe that and the shifting into a rabbit thing were one and the same?
The male wolf tilted his head- she believed in him? That had a nice ring to it, when had he heard that? Ah, the alphess Nalia had spoken those words to him and some point- hers seemed like she was obligated to say that though- she was alpha after all, she needed to keep her pack together. Couldn't have a crazed wolf running around looking like a freak show, now could she? No, not really!
"That, Miss, is an odd thing to say. You believe in me? We just met! It would be silly to say you believed in someone, don't you think? One should get to know the person a little better- don't want to invest hope into something that might just up and run away, now would you?"

"Now listen to me my dear Taboo, I shall put my faith in whomever I wish and it just so happens that whom is you. Whether we have just met or not, I still believe in you." she answered, her tone serious and stern though with a hint of playfulness behind it. A smile spread across her face after she was finished speaking and her light blue eyes looked down at him, admiring the purple of his own eyes. She had guessed he had some sort of power when she had first met because of the color of his eyes. Normally wolves with purple eyes were a rare sight but she was beginning to believe anything was possible now. Especially when she had her own power and could make her eyes any color she pleased. |

Taboo suddenly felt all warm and fuzzy inside- she wanted to put her faith in him, that was a rare occurance; someone wanting to believe he could excel at something in life. When as the last time he actually believed in himself? Nose titled upwards- keeping her gaze as her own head lifted, strange creatures females. They always made a man feel like he was wanted and needed- then they usually ran off.
Head would tilt to the left- one rabbit ear falling down and hiding his left eye; almost like he was playing peek-a-boo with her. For once in his life- his life after his father's disappearance someone was making him feel like he belonged. True this one didn't have a pack- and she said she didn't have anyone, but she had a friend in him. He was looking for ways to make this place home- having friends would be one of those ways.
Ones that didn't try to eat you.
A silence would follow- a cricket jumping onto his right paw, it's insect-y carapace-y feel making him feel a little uncomfortable. " Odd things bugs, they almost act like they are fearless- I wish I could be so small and have so much confidence. I sadly, seem to have none- you on the other hand are strong and good natured. How do you manage to do it?"
The male decided to dig deeper into her life- he wanted to unwrap her like an early Christmas gift, an early Christmas gift that contained chocolates of every flavor- and he wanted to sample every flavor, and then return what he hadn't eaten to the box for later delving. She was sweet like chocolate- but she had to have a bitter taste somewhere- maybe tart. Everyone had a side like that to him- and Taboo wanted to know his limits so he didn't push those again.
"So tell me more about yourself- or about your family before they were-- before they watch down on us from the spirit plane. I am all ears."

"Well I didn't know my parents for very long but they were very good alphas. All of the members in our pack liked them and I was going to be alpha after they passed on. But I obviously didn't get the chance because of the enemy pack. And once I escaped I lived my life as a loner, traveling where I wanted, when I wanted. And now here I am. Though I find that since I have lived the life of a loner for so, I am starting to miss the pack life and having others that care about me and look out for each other." she answered, feeling a bit strange talking so much about herself.
"What about you? I'm being so rude talking about myself this whole time. Tell me about your past." she answered, feeling bad for rambling on about what had happened to her in her life without even thinking to ask him about his life. |

Oh she was not rude! There was no way that talking about yourself, if someone asked, was rude. He loved to listen and learn- he might night remember all of it but he sure would try. "At least you had help escaping to a better place, I take it being alone was a lot better than being in captive?" The wolf raised a quirked brow and cleared his throat- he knew he didn't like being alone, but faced with the situation of that or being controlled by an evil pack; that wasn't really something that needed to be weighted!
He waiting until she finished and asked him about his past- brute shifting his weight from one paw to other; cottontail flicking as if he were annoyed at the thought. His words came out calculated and droned on- like he was a machine reciting words from a typewriter. His eyes were lifeless- filled with hurt and a black void, imperial purple suddenly becoming granite colored.
"No, no My'Lady! I asked you to carry on about yourself- you have a beautiful voice if I may say so; I wouldn't mind listening to it some more. As for my own past- well it's a bit difficult to describe. My mother died giving birth to me, my sister was never born- something happened in labor. I lived with my father for almost two years..."
Ah his father- Judas, a strong as iron man- his will was his way and woe those who tried to sway him from his chosen path. Taboo had wanted to grow up to be just like him, but now he was beginning to think it better to choose his own path- whatever that may be. "We roamed around a lot, not really belonging anywhere; we eventually chose a spot beneath the mountains and settled there for almost three months. It was nice- free of bear and mountains cats. One day my father and I were out hunting- and this cute little rabbit happened to cross our path."
His closed his eyes as he remembered, the length of his ears seeming to diminish a little bit. He could feel her light blue eyes on him, "My father- somehow did not see the beast and stalked off the opposite direction. I followed him- bound and determined to make my father proud of me. I followed him beneath some underbrush, where it was just sudden- I could somehow fit beneath the shrubs. Baffled as I was, I still had a one track mind. I made for the rabbit- which now seemed to be staring at me with curious eyes- fear unrecognizable. When I jumped forward- I noticed an odd spring in my step, upon farther analysis, I learned of my fate."
The wolf sighed- muscles quivering in his legs. An ear flopped lazily, somehow still seeming to shrink- he hadn't noticed at all, he was too caught up in his present story. Unknowingly he was rambling on- worse than she had. "I tracked my father- who tried to devour me; after some quarrel and a rushed explanation. He was as baffled as I- it soon wore off, but in the morning he was gone. I do not think he approved...

Her heart grew heavy in her chest as she continued to listen until he was finally finished. She could tell the story had lowered his spirits and she wanted to try and comfort him, make him feel better in any way possible. Moving her pure white body so she was laying next to him, her side pressed softly against his in an attempt to comfort him. She laid her head down on her front paws once more, her light blue eyes becoming a darker shade of blue as well as she too felt the sadness his story brought along.
"I am so sorry Taboo. No one should ever have to endure such a thing. Powers are simply powers and should not define who we are. And I want you to know that you will always have me as a friend. No matter what." she replied, her voice becoming softer towards the end while her light blue eyes continued to watch him, wondering if anything she had said or done had succeeded in lifting his spirits. |

Friend, that foreign word. He had always wanted a friend for when it seemed like there was no one left to run to in this empty world- he could run to them., and vise versa. He would be their shooting star. They could tell him their dreams. He couldn't promise to make them come true, but he'd be there to pick up the pieces of their broken heart if their dreams happen to fall through.
He wants someone to share his secrets with, someone to talk to late at night when he can't sleep, someone who feels comfortable around his future family, someone to comfort him when he is scared, to hold him when he is sad, someone who doesn't need to say that they love him for him to know its true.
Taboo lifted his head- ears perking, seeming to have shrunken and returned to their natural form; though he still had teeth that were a bit too large and a fluffy tail to show. "Here's to you new friend, may you live a thousand years, just to sort of cheer things up, in this vale of wolven tears; and may I live a thousand too-a thousand-less one day, because I wouldn't want to be on earth, and hear you'd passed away."
Brute chuckled and nose bumped the side of Luna's face- this was going to be a beautiful friendship.

A sudden thought occured to her. What if he did have a mate!? She hadn't really asked him if he did but had instead assumed he didn't. And nothing had happened between them to make a mate angry but if he did have a mate then it would probably be a good idea for them to not be laying that close whether they were just friends or not. She knew that if her mate was getting this close to another female then she would be a little jealous and maybe a tad angry. And the last thing Luna wanted to do was anger some she wolf.
"I apologize if this is blunt but do you have a mate? If so that's wonderful, I just don't want to cause any problems with anyone by being too. . . friendly." she spoke, her light blue eyes filled with a bit of regret. |

A mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our mate is the one who makes life come to life.
Taboo, sadly, didn't believe there was anyone out there who would put up with him- his father had taught him that ones of the opposite sex were not to be trusted and Taboo had lived by the code, secluding himself from them for so long. "I do not have a mate, Lady Luna, nor have I ever. I don't think I am too keen on the idea- I long for one but my father drilled it into my mind that women were evil for us; distracting us from our real goals."
Real goals, did he have any? There are two things to aim at in life; first to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of the world has achieved the second- Taboo doubted he would be one of them.
The brute stood up- stretching and yawning; not meaning to seem rude. He leaned over and sniffed the top of Luna's skull- the patch between her ears, letting his wet nose tickle the inside of the one closest to him. He removed his head and looked towards the West, it was far from being morning- and the stars were shining brighter than ever. He wondered. "M'Lady- would you like something to eat? I would be more than happy to find something for you, whatever you would like." He lowered his head once more and nuzzled her compassionately, friendship glittering in his eyes.

"That would be lovely, thank you. Whatever you catch will be perfectly fine." she replied with a smile on her face as she felt him nuzzle the top of her head a bit. It had been awhile since she had met a male that was this caring and sweet. But she was definitely glad that she had met him. He had provided some wonderful conversation, let her get things off of her chest and his company was quite wonderful. A smile played on her mouth once more as she looked up at him with her light blue eyes. |

Taboo wondered if the Lady had any specifics she liked to munch on- the tibia of a whitetail deer, the skull of a cottontail, the brittle feet of a crow. He believed he had seen a small watering hole not too far from here- just over the next hill, he believed. He would fetch the lady a meal and be back before she could blink twice. Whatever he caught would be perfectly fine, that was what she had said- and said it she had. Very well, he would find her a crane. Didn't they live around musty, mosquito infested pool of water? The male shook his head, licking the tip of her nose and laughing playfully, "I shall be back my friend! When I return you will have a delicious feast at your feet!"
The wolf made hurried steps to the South, finding himself weaving around a random bush sticking up in the middle of the field- odd. Large footfalls carried him far and fast- he glanced back as he topped the next hill, the lady was still there...good. If she disappeared he would have felt like a failure again, just as he had when his father had left him. The thought brought fear to his eyes as he turned his gaze from the beautiful lady- the color changer. She was a shifter like he- technically, she just didn't change her form; and he didn't change his color. He would forever he stuck a muddy chocolate brown.
Lithe frame carried him over the crest of the small hill- bringing him into eye sight of the small pond he had seen earlier, a small pond that was empty but for a few frogs jumping from lilly pad to lilly pad- a dark outcrop of trees looming on it's outer banks. The place was creepy- like something out of a witch's story, and the way the nebulae lit up the sky again- eeeei.
Miss Luna wants food, she will get food- a delicious rabbit... One sat along the way a bit- admiring itself in the reflection of the pond, reflection broken every once and a while by a passing mosquito. The rabbit was black in color- brown eyes: looked almost like he did when he morphed, a pang of guilt hit him. He was not a rabbit by nature though- this was not his kind, and should be treated as such. Prey knew it's place on the food chain, they had all been taught it at a young age; just as the wolf knew it's place among the bears and wildcats.
The male lowered his body, slithering towards a thicket of cattails- it wouldn't even see him coming....
