The Fox and The Hound (Vulpesen)

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen caught the alert from Ace of Neshoba's pain, something Lenta would no doubt be feeling as well. Swirling quickly, he sent another opponent into the air. 'Help her!' The command was sent to a group of ashlans who sprung forward. While small, they weren't without their whiles. Agile and quick, they raced around and up the legs of the attacking vornskr, making their way to its stomach which they started to quickly bite, claw, and dig at. There was more than safety in numbers. There was strength.

Neshoba was quick to take the upper hand of her neck-biter. She used all of her body weight to slam into it, causing them both to fall over while the other two Vornskr were being swarmed by Ashlans. Lenta came bounding up to her and began savagely biting the Vornskr's lower regions. It was enough to make the creature release it's grip on Nesh. That gave the white wolf the perfect opportunity to pin the Vornskr down and start tearing oout his throat.​

[member="Neshoba Nodi"] was safe. Good. Confident that she could handle herself for now, he focused his attention on his opponents, smiling to himself as they seemed to be recovering. Quickly, three lunged forward, only to have their skulls slammed into the ground. The other four weren't any luckier. Two were hurled into the trees where ashlan wolves would quickly descend on their stunned bodies, tearing through any soft and fatal part. As for the last of them, the biggest hung back just in time to see its partner take a fang filled bite to the neck, followed by a throwing motion with Vulpesen's head to finish the deal.

 

[Slot 12]

It was full-on CARNAGE. Neshoba's humanity seemed to be absent for a little bit as she tore and clawed and kicked and growled. She looked absolutely wild. By the time the white wolf was done, her body was practically bathed in Vornskr blood. Her teeth were stained with it, bits of mutilated flesh still hanging from in between them. The Ashlans were doing whatever they wanted with on of the other carcasses. Lenta was just staring at Nesh. The feeling of both shock and awe practically radiated from the little red wolf.​

Blood, yes. Brutality, maybe. Elegance, surely. As the body left Vulpesen's mouth and was flung into the air, the last Vornskr would come forth in a vain attempt to latch onto the fox's neck. All it would find would be a bushy and very strong tail, slamming into his mouth then another catching it beneath the stomach and flipping it over Vulpesen's head. The creature would yelp once as its back hit the ground, just long enough for Vulpesen to complete his turn and sink a set of ivory fangs through its skull, crushing out the life of the beast, as well as the resistance and numbers of the pack. That went well.

Neshoba was breathing heavily, her muscles twitching as she glared down at the corpse below her. It wasn't going to move, obviously. It barely looked like a creature anymore. Lenta trotted up beside her large white friend, staring at the aftermath with satisfaction. Nesh needed to take a moment to calm herself down. Sometimes she got a little too deeply ingrained in her animistic side. After a few long moments of silence and breathing, she turned her attention to Vulpesen. Her ruby eyes glanced up at him.​

​

You need a bath...​

[Vulpesen]

A doggish laugh left his throat and he turned to face her one of his tails flicking to sling off the blood. So do you, my pink puppy. He pointed his reference out with a nod to her red and pink fur. "Good to see you can hold yourself in a fight, though you had me worried with that strike to the neck. He fell into a sitting position, happy to relax from the intense but brief encounter.

The bite in question had already healed. Neshoba looked down at herself. Hm. She DID need a bath... if Lenta's fur didn't have a soft glow, the Ashlan would have seamlessly blended into her fur.​

​

Neck's no trouble. Heals pretty quick. Too bad it doesn't work like that for cleaning. ​

Vulpesen smiled a bit and had Ace call for a move of the ysalimiri, allowing him a moment of the force to change back to his human self. Thanks to the use of his tail, must of the damage had been blunt force trauma, and thus there wasn't a lot of blood on him. Though his few biting attacks did leave a metallic taste in his mouth. "Perhaps we should go to the ship and get you a towel, then a ride to somewhere you can wash off. Unless the ashlans can find a nearby and safe pool of water."

(OOC: I see where this is going... )​

​

Neshoba stayed in her Wolf Form. A shower and a pool both sounded nice. Lenta started licking the side of her leg, already trying to wash her large white friend off. Nesh gently nudged her away, grunting a little.​

​

A bath or a shower. Pretty sure Lenta wants one, too. ​

​

[Vulpesen]

He nodded and reached out to call his coat to his hand, only to find nothing happening. "Right..." Despite the lack of the force, his coat would still slide towards him before crawling up his leg to his hand. Smirking, he slid it on. "Thanks Ace. So, you know any nearby places to wash off?" The ashlan gave an affirmative yip and leaped from Vulpesen's shoulder making his way to the dome's exit.

Neshoba and Lenta followed behind them. She was still enchanted by the wilderness as they made their way to a river. A few of the other Ashlans had decided to come along with them. When they reached the river, they were the first to bound up to the banks. It was so cute-- Ow! Lenta's teeth nipped into her paw with that thought.​

​

[Vulpesen]

He let out a small laugh and hung his coat on a branch. "Careful with your thoughts. Don't think your at the point to give mental blows." As he spoke, he started to pull off his extra clothing. Such was the problem when your civilian clothes doubled as a sort of armor. It was difficult to undress quickly for an impromptu bath.

She gave her little red Ashlan an apologetic whimper. She then shifted into her normal form. The white clothes were covered in red, along with her hair and most of her face. It wasn't hard to remove them. She carefully folded them and sat them aside before walking up to the water. The other Ashlans were playing with each other and swimming around almost as well as fish. She suppressed the urge to smile at their tiny little forms splashing about in front of her.​

​

Nesh slowly lowered herself into the water. It was a little cold, actually.​

​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

Averting his eyes as Neshoba slipped into the water, he removed all but the lowest layer of clothing before smoothly sliding into the water. From the moment his skin touched it, he bristled, his golden eyes widening. "Ruurrri!" Cool to her was substantially cold to him, being a person who was comfortable on planets such as Mustafar. What was worse was there wasn't the force to alter his temperature. In his mind he could hear Ace laughing until he transferred the feeling of cold back to the wolf.

[member="Neshoba Nodi"]

 

[Slot 12]

Don't favor the cold much, hm?​

​

The sound of Vulpesen's reaction made Neshoba turn to look at him. She smiled, her version of a small laugh consisting of an airy grunt. His expression was funny.​

​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

He shook his head, his tail sporadically lashing under the surface. "Never did enjoy it. When I was a jedi, I was fairly happy when the sith didn't attack any planets such as Hoth." Of course, he knew Hoth wasn't under republic control, but it was a simple example. Given a few more moments, he started to adjust to the water, his shivering slowing down.

[member="Neshoba Nodi"]

 

[Slot 12]

Neshoba came closer to him. Her body was naturally warm. Maybe if she was touching Vulpesen he'd feel better faster. She gave him a curious look, tilting her head a little.​

​

Hoth? What's that? ​

​

[member="Vulpesen"]​

 

[Vulpesen]

He sat back in the water, floating a bit as his shivering continued to slow. "Planet on the outer rim. Cold enough to to have you sneezing icicles for a week." He smirked a bit then cast his mind to Ace, giving an impression of Hoth to be relayed. A few moments later, Lenta would likely be carrying on the message, giving Neshoba the full interpretation of the planet as Vulpesen saw it.

[member="Neshoba Nodi"]

 

[Slot 12]

Neshoba lined up with Vulpesen shoulder-to-shoulder. Wow. His skin was like ice compared with hers. She looked over to Lenta, who was paddling towards her. The red Ashlan conveyed a series of pictures into her mind. Ice... Snow.... Clear blue sky..... Blizzards..... Giant furry monsters......​

​

....... It's...... BEAUTIFUL...... I've read about snow. But I never knew it looked so.... PURE....​
