II| Separate ways

Myer

She stands in front of me only a few feet away, she scoffs at my comment. Her beautiful brown eyes, so daring, so deep. Her shape, perfect curves in perfect places... Her scent lingering around me.

"You wish."

What? Oh yeah, I maintain my schooled face and focus on my words. "Huh- maybe." My sarcasm earns a small frown, I turn around and start heading toward my place; she can watch me all she wants, I don't mind.

"No apology? " her voice is strong and pulls me to a stop, if I hadn't heard her voice a second time I could have managed to leave without looking back, now...

"Nope, you ruined my chance to hunt the deer. Last of the season; Winters here. If anyone should apologize, it's you and you should add a little 'I'll make it up to you tomorrow with a fresh kill.' " I look over my shoulder straight in her eyes: to emphasize, I lift a brow. Score! She rolls her eyes and crosses her arms over her chest. Her hair glowing in the dawn light.

"Actually, it's around 5 or 6 in the morning right now so I'd consider it breakfast, and no, I owe you nothing, " she says with a bit of an edgy attitude. Damn.

"Okay, then. Why are you out so late?" I try to sound careless but I watch a smile creep up her face.

"The Winter run was tonight, does it matter though?" I see how much this question humors her and what it implies, that girl... she's smart and dangerous. Only the Gurdians go on pack runs.

"No."

She nods ever so slightly, and the smile disappears, is she disappointed? I nod back and simultaneously we turn and go our separate ways: she goes east and I go west.
