'cause i'm the big bad wolf

now let the games begin

She glared up at Astaroth and simply replied."I don't like being touched."

Dezba wanted to scoff when he confessed that his first time at comforting didn't go as he expected. That's what he got for extending his heart. What a fool, served him right! Besides, she didn't need comforting.

What he said next, however, was unexpected. He said he cared for her. Dezba tilted her head when she heard this, and for once, her green eyes lit up. No one has ever cared about her before, let alone confessed it. But how could anyone care for a wretch like her, especially after just meeting.

"I'm not sure I believe you." She growled, narrowing her eyes.

Then, a venomous smirk crawled across her muzzle as she curled her lips. Dezba went to go push past Astaroth.

"Prove me wrong."

With that, she headed towards the Tunnel's exit, not looking back, yet her body language invited him to follow.

"Listen to me."

Astaroth stood, his head still hung low as he eyed her suspiciously, he knew that look, he had used it plenty of times before. "How do you expect me to do that?" He looked at her warily, keeping low to the ground as he crept towards her, not moving his gaze away for a second. He was confused about what she may want him to do, his ears were flattened against his head, his muscles tense. He knew she has magick, he didn't know if she would use this against him in some sort of trial.
"Speaking."

The she-wolf's form became silhouetted against the soft light bleeding in from the snarling maw of Canis. She stopped and turned her head, her piercing green eyes fixed on Astaroth. "Oh, I don't know," She replied. Her voice oozed with vile sarcasm. "Let's start with-- don't try to kill me and I won't try to kill you." A white, toothy grin stretched across her muzzle. It could have come across as playful, but with Dezba's words, it might as well have been a warning.

Idiot, I'm giving you a chance. It was rare for Dezba to extend a paw of invitation to another gembound. Normally, she would scoff at the idea. Though Dezba hated everything, she found herself hating Astaroth a little less. I'm giving myself a chance.

Perhaps it was because he was like her, or perhaps, despite everything, she was still desperate to feel some sort of companionship.

Dezba set her sights back to Canis and walked towards its waiting jaws, unsure if she had made a mistake.

Please prove me wrong.

-Exit Dezba-

"Listen to me."

Astaroth's harsh posture loosened a bit as he followed her, still wary, he would have to keep his guard up for any of their freak-outs like they had in the tunnel. He followed her on her way to Canis, just a step behind, perking up as he saw that they were walking back towards his home. "Ha, I'd say that's reasonable." He said with a small smile, that little bit of validation had at least gone a long way, his eyes would have sparkled slightly as his pace picked up and he trotted along beside her, keeping his head low as he grinned. Fuck it's been so long.
"Speaking."
