Finn Knight of Flowers

Finn was still for a moment as Ares leaned towards him and they touched muzzles for a moment. The pitbull's ears flickered but he wasn't too sure how to react to the sign of affection, so instead he dipped his head politely.

He waited for a moment for his friend to take the first bite, before he leaned down and took a bite for himself. There was never much meat on a rabbit; Finn found this out quickly. He took smaller bites than he wanted, making sure Ares was full and content before he began chomping on the remains.

With the rabbit gone and a partially full belly, the dog began to clean himself, idly watching the pink lilly perched on Ares' ear with his tail sliding against the cave floor, kicking up dust.

Ares Blodyn meet me halfway to your heart

The other dog was so nice!

Ares was mostly impressed that he'd adapted to him not talking so fast. The Shiba Inu had met a few individuals already, but most had insisted on talking to him, despite not getting a reply.
Not that he minded that - he liked hearing people talk - but sometimes it felt like those Gembounds didn't want to accept that he could not provide a verbal reply.

But this one was a friend. He accepted Ares as who he was.

He even waited for Ares to eat his fill before eating what he'd left, despite him having hunted the rabbit in the first place.
He was much like a knight, Ares mused. His Knight of Flowers. Humble, gentle, accepting.

Once the rabbit was devoured, Ares followed his friend's example && started cleaning himself. The blood in his golden pelt made for a gruesome sight, but he was only aware that he didn't like the look && smell of it.
Meat wasn't Ares' favorite meal, but eating plants wasn't exactly nutritional for him.
He hated killing && vowed to work on his magic to maybe find a way to use it for absorbing nutrients from plants. Like a reversed Host spell, maybe.

With his hunger sated && his pelt cleaned, Ares was in a playful mood. He stretched his paws towards his friend && smiled wickedly. Before running away, he boped his nose against his friend's chest. Catch me., his behavior said, encouraging the Pitbull to try to follow him && play.

Growing strong.

Finn Knight of Flowers

There were no spots of scarlet left on the dog's short fur when his friend moved once more; but not without making sure that he had Finn's attention. The young pitbull's eyes flickered and his ears lifted slightly, at first watching with a hardened, alert gaze.

The black dog did not move from where he was for a few moments, alert and focused, before his eyes tensed down around the edges and the puppy was barrelling after the other, maw upturned into a mockery of a smile with his tongue loose.

How he chased the Shiba was different to how he chased the rabbit; he caught his prey with a tight jaw and wide eyes. His eyes were wide now, but they were soft and flickering with playful innocence.

When he caught up, he did not lunge for Ares, instead he stood his ground a little ways from him, upper half of his body hitting the ground with his forelegs flat on the ground. His tail lashed left to right in the air.

He barked. It was more higher-pitched than he would have liked, but it was a playful sound - something that told Ares he was down to play, and then he was off again, grinning and panting as he chased his golden-coated friend, but never did he get too close or even remotely snap his massive jaws at him.
