precious thing / terribleperformances.

This week, Steven didn't grab a motel or anything - opting to just sleep in his ride instead. Not something he's against, as it switches up this journey into different states. Pulling his jacket on after pushing one of the back doors open, Steven swings his legs out.

"Mm-" He stretches. "Gooood morning! Good morning, Lion - Lion?"

That sure is Lion. "...Hey, I thought you were spending time with Connie? Did you come to see me?"

          There’s something almost eager in his answer when it comes: a low rumble that sounds like it could be hail or here or you; a firm push of his head into Precious Thing’s space and hands and face; a slow blink that precedes a bout of fond nuzzling and humming and puffing. Yes, he says with all of those sounds and motions, yes, I came to see you, yes!

          He draws back after a moment, just to breathe in the scent that he can no longer find in the den. There is the same core as always — the same rooted traces that assure him that this is his precious thing that he loves and protects — but now there are new marks, too. Many new ones and too little old ones, he finds, so he renews his contact and begins nuzzling against Precious Thing in earnest.

          “Mine,” he rubs into Precious Thing’s coverings and fur and skin. “Mine-protected that I love and miss.”

scents are very important to lion! they always tell him more about a person than sounds or sights do, which is why smells and the messages they have to tell ( the combination of which are, for lion, called “scent-marks” ) will always be written within quotation marks like dialogue, whereas actual dialogue / the messages he receives from and sends with sounds will be italicised. i hope this doesn’t confuse too many people!

familiar / @strfallen

          Perhaps it is her colours. Perhaps it is her stone. Perhaps it is the way she stands, the way she looks out to the sea, the way her forepaws are twisted over her front. Whatever it is, she is achingly familiar.

          Whatever it is, he is achingly drawn.

          The skies are bright, tonight. Bright enough that she should be able to see him coming should he approach, but they are alone and he thinks she might be startled (as Polished usually is) if he comes as quietly as he always does. So he moves with a notable weight, paws slow and sliding over the sand with shff-shff-shffs.

          Hail, he huffs in greeting when he is but a length away. The strange, aching familiarity pulses strong within his chest, and he almost wants to close that distance to give her a real greeting. She is not a pridemate, though, and most stone-holders don’t seem to like it when he gets too close, so he simply stops, sits, and looks out to the sea with her.
