"The Cunning Seductress"
By Darfix
Upon commenting on his wounds, Tiasha draws closer to Niktsu, "You don't have to be so nervous you know, you need to have those wounds taken care of...that's all I wish to do..." she says with a slight giggle.
"No, no...I'm...not nervous, I just...well..." Niktsu pauses, taking a breath, "You said yourself, you were going into heat soon...I, don't want to give the wrong impression...regardless of how attractive I find you..." he says quietly.
Tiasha laughs gently, "Niktsu, I don't know what you've heard about females in heat...but I'm not going to force you to do anything, okay? I just want to do what I can to keep you healthy..." she clarifies, "We can worry about spring, estrus, and mating later..."
"...err, what's that suppose to mean?" he asks nervously...nervous, because he can easily see himself falling in a lustful desire to mate this female before him.
Tiasha sighs, rolling her eyes, "It means...don't worry about it...we'll cross that bridge when it comes...now, are you going to let me lick those wounds clean, or not?" she asks, quirking a brow.
Niktsu exhales after a short pause, and lies back onto his back, allowing her access to all of his injuries.
"Good boy..." she smirks, walking slowly towards him, and lying back down ALMOST like before to have at his chest wound again.
At this time, Darfix and Destiny had discovered the area Niktsu, Orlanth, and Yidsril battled. To their dismay, there was a lot of blood...and a trail of blood leading away from the battlefield, accompanied by a set of canine paw prints. Both are now running in the direction of the blood trail and paw prints.
"...this is just a guess, Destiny...but I think those are Mightyena tracks...either that, or another kind of canine." Darfix comments while panting from their running, "...I'm positive they're Mightyena tracks...though they do seem a little small..." he adds. Since he was old enough to hate, he had tried to learn everything he could about a Mightyena...as his father, Serko, is one...
Destiny nods as she runs along side him, "...well, let's hope he or she has no hostile intentions..." she comments, eventually, noticing a cave with the blood going into it.
Both her and Darfix exchange glances, before slowly, cautiously entering the cave. What they see next, neither of them had expected! Tiasha is aggressively licking his face again, while lying over the top of him.
Darfix's jaw drops, as he turns to Destiny, "...I wouldn't classify THAT as hostile in my book!"
Tiasha quickly rises to all fours, turning to the cave entrance, she growls at the intruders, arching her back. Upon seeing the male among them, however, her aggressive demeanor slips into more of an apologetic one, "Oh, sorry! I...um...are you friends of Niktsu?" she asks, sending a wink off in Darfix's direction. Sure, he was a little small for her...but he WAS a male...
Darfix had accustomed himself to a strong distaste for the Mightyena species...he only gives a glare in reply...
Destiny yips, "Niktsu! You're alright! You...you had us worried...with that blood trail and those two dead Pokémon..." she says in a troubled voice.
Darfix nods at Destiny's comment, "...looks like you avenged, Keilah...kudos on your victory, comrade..." he says, bowing his head ever so slightly.
Niktsu grits his teeth, and turns to Darfix and Destiny, "I...uh...I'm sorry I scared you like that, Destiny...uh..." he pauses, not really sure how to take Darfix's comment, "...heh...this is Tiasha...she found me still alive, and welcomed me into her den here..."
Darfix snickers a bit, "Looks like she welcomed herself to your lips too..." he says...not really trying to be funny...he doesn't like this Mightyena.
Tiasha rolls her eyes a little, "...you try living an entire winter alone, with no one to pleasure you when you get lonely..." she replies bitterly.
Darfix slouches a little bit, his ears wilting slightly to the sides of his head, "...sorry...I wasn't trying to be funny..."
"...eh, I might be able to forgive you..." she replies, shooting another wink at the unprepared Eevee.
Darfix perks up a little, tilts his head...and blinks. What was her deal? Was she a seductress of some kind?
"Heh...well, I might as well introduce myself. I am Tiasha...and you two are?"
"...Darfix..." replies the Eevee.
"Destiny." Destiny responds quickly.
"Ah, are you two half siblings?" she asks, quirking a brow. It wouldn't be too uncommon for an Eevee and a Vulpix to be siblings...assuming one of their parents weren't monogamous.
Darfix and Destiny exchange glances, "...uh...err..." Darfix stammers, rubbing the back of his neck a little.
"...we're courting..." Destiny says sternly, perhaps trying to defend what's hers from this female. Destiny knew what time of year it was...she wasn't about to lose her mate-to-be to someone...
Tiasha's eyes widen a little, "Goodness...I didn't see that one coming. You two didn't strike me as lovers..." she says with a mischievous snicker.
Darfix blinks, "Uh...why's that?" he asks curiously...though Destiny was just as interested in what Tiasha meant.
"Eh, I couldn't say...consider it a female's intuition..." Tiasha comments, turning back to Niktsu, "...it seems I may have to find some more food now..."
"...why worry about that now? You said yourself; we need a new place to stay anyway...these two found us, just imagine how easily something else could." Niktsu comments.
"...yes indeed...perhaps you two would be willing to help us do a little reconnaissance? Scouting ahead, and looking for a makeshift den?" Tiasha asks, quirking a brow to Destiny and Darfix.
"...this place was pretty easy to find..." Destiny concurs, "...it would be wise to look for someplace new."
"My thoughts exactly...however, to be safe...we should minimize splitting up. I would suggest keeping an adult with a young adult, but Niktsu is quite weak at the moment. He is very vulnerable right now should we come under attack." Tiasha points out.
"...right, then what do we do?" asks Darfix inquisitively.
"...hmmm, I would suggest...me leaving alone, to try to find a place...and then escorting you all over, one by one...that way, we don't risk all of us running into danger at the same time, and at the same time manage to keep a decent number of us together at the same time." The female Mightyena says confidently.
"Hmmm...I guess that makes sense..." Destiny replies, to which Darfix nods.
"Right, then I will go search for another cave...come back, take one of you with me...as well as the furs, and some of the food. I will then return, and take another back, and repeat. Do we all agree?" she asks.
Darfix, Niktsu, and Destiny nod, "...yes." The three reply.
"Excellent...be back in a flash!" Tiasha says, darting out the entrance.
After a short moment of silence, Destiny turns to Niktsu, "...did you...tell her about Keilah yet? And...why you were surrounded by those two dead Pokémon?" she asks, just concerned Tiasha might not know of Niktsu's situation, and that her apparent advance might be too soon.
Niktsu sighs, shaking his head, "...no...not yet..."
Back outside, Tiasha was in search for a new place...yet, at the same time, she was strategizing to herself.
"...hmm, I could...take the Vulpix to a separate cave for the time being...and bring Darfix and Niktsu to another...to be alone with them..." she thinks in her head. "...I...I could easily take care of my...little problem this way..." she adds in thought. "...ugh, but what if that Eevee catches on that his female isn't with us? Hmm...well, Tiasha...you are a fox when it comes to seduction...you could think of something..."
Finally, after a little bit of naughty thinking, she growls to herself, shaking her head, "...you imbecile! Don't let this heat take control of your mind!" she sighs after thinking that. "...but...it would be so easy...and, and everyone would get what they want...err...minus Destiny...that is..."
