Description
This is a role play for between myself and . Characters featured are Rikki and Evita.

warpugs said the following:

Evita lay hidden behind a bush under the shade of a tree, taking an early afternoon nap. She was curled into a little ball, tail wrapped around her to touch her nose. As clouds shifted in the sky, they released a ray of sunlight directly onto her eyes. After a moment she stirred, one eye squinting open and glancing around. With a small grumble she rolled on her side and stretched her legs out before standing up and shaking the dirt out of her fur. She arched her back with a yawn, stretching much like a cat would. When she was done her stretching she quickly sprang out from her spot, the leaves of the bush rustling and falling around her.
"Could use a nice drink..." She mumbled to herself as she loped off in the direction of a stream nearby.
Upon reaching the stream she dipped her feet in and bent her head down, gingerly lapping up some water.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki dozed lightly, most of his body half submerged in a cool stream. His head rested in the bank between his paws and the water made frustrated bubbling sounds at the block in their path. He was beginning to snore quietly when his ear twitched. With a grunt he cracked open his eyes and rolled them in his head, trying to see what was coming without having to move. His nose tested the air and found a relatively familiar scent. With a sigh and another grunt he heaved his body out of the water, a small cascade running through his fur in thick rivulets. He tested his injured back leg by gingerly trying to put his weight down. His leg held for a moment, shook, and gave out again. With a soft growl he attempted to limp away unseen.

warpugs said the following:

Evita lifted her head up and surveyed the area, droplets of water dripping from her muzzle back into the water. Her ears swiveled off to her side as she thought she heard movement in the water downstream. She raised a brow and cautiously stepped through the shallow banks of the water, making her way around the river bend. In the distance she spotted a vaguely familiar hulking wolf limping away from her. She squinted and then her eyes lit up as she realized who it was. She couldn't let him leave without at least saying something, especially as she had noticed his limp and was growing increasingly more curious about it. She smirked and trotted towards him through the shallows, water splashing up her legs. As she neared him she called out to him, "Well if it isn't Rikki!"

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki's ears pinned against his head at Evita's greeting. But only for a moment. They flopped back to their usual bored expression as he turned to meet her, keeping his injured side furthest away.
"Hello again, Evita." he said plainly with a small nod.
Water was still dripping and running off of him, creating small pools and puddles where he stood. It was awkward to be caught laying in the water for anyone but this felt like an especially low moment for him. With a sigh he asked, "How have you been?"

warpugs said the following:

Evita eyed him almost suspiciously as he responded before she grinned in a very friendly manner and hopped onto land, water spraying out behind her.
"I've been lovely, thank you for asking." She stood in silence for a moment, watching him, before nodding towards his hind leg and adding very bluntly and simply, "I take it you haven't been feeling quite so lovely. What happened there?"

sourlemonfox said the following:

His ears pinned back against his skull again at her question. He snorted, annoyed, and looked away from her, head lowered.
"It's nothing." he grumbled sourly.
He'd injured it while attempting to hunt some doe. They'd been below him in a ravine and he'd misjudged the distance between himself and the ledge. Needless to say, he didn't end up eating that day. He'd limped to the nearest stream and fallen asleep with his leg being numbed and cooled by the water.
"It's nice to know you've been...'lovely' though." he gritted out, attempting to steer the conversation away from his leg--if he needed to converse at all.

warpugs said the following:

She managed to maintain her smile as she shook her head and rolled her eyes with a sigh. 'Such a grump', she thought to herself and tilted her head to the side as she watched him.
"Yes, I'm sure." She responded after his last words. She wasn't sure why she still continued to attempt to converse with this wolf. He clearly wanted nothing to do with her. Was she really that starved of other wolf interaction? She contemplated leaving but something kept her standing where she was.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki shifted from good-foot to good-foot. He was getting antsy, what with this near-stranger just staring at him and his leg being injured. He snorted again, attempting to break the growing silence. His yellow eyes stared up the trees as if the leaves could tell him what to say.
"So..." he tried to start, huffed, and started again, "What do you want?" it came out blunt and annoyed.

warpugs said the following:

She appeared startled by his annoyed response. "What do I want." She repeated, eyes narrowing. "I don't want anything from you." There was much emphasis on the 'want' and her eyes narrowed further. She seemed flustered and incredulous, she looked away and back to him multiple times before she continued speaking, trying to calm herself slightly. "Nothing other than possible friendship I guess. You know, I was just trying to be kind. You seemed lonely and I'll admit that I've felt similarly as well out here on my own." She paused and her eyes were no longer narrowed but remained cold. "My apologies for bothering you today. I can assure you it won't happen again." She looked away from him and turned, padding away.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki winced and his ears lowered. Internally he was shocked and was he...cowering? As if he had been a naughty pup and was being punished. To his surprise he took a step after her, forgetting his injury and using his back leg. The painful jolt made him let out a high-pitched whimper before he nearly bit his tongue in half shutting himself up. He stayed firmly planted where he was, legs balked out to support his weight.
"I'm sorry. That was rude of me." he ground out quietly, avoiding looking at her. "I didn't mean..."
He was becoming flustered and getting close to losing his temper at himself.

warpugs said the following:
She slowed a bit and her ears fell back as she heard him whimper. She was determined to keep going though and pressed on. But when she heard him speak, she slowed to a stop. She slowly turned her body halfway towards him, looking at him with an uncertain expression. For once she was at a loss of what to say. She still felt badly for this brute and not only because of his leg. Everything about him just seemed sad. If anything, she knew she probably owed him an apology too. She just couldn't bring herself to say anything yet so she continued to look in his direction, her expression remaining uncertain but her features appearing much softer than they had just moments ago.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki stared back at the she-wolf, his expression hard to read. He drew a deep breath in through his nose, whole chest expanding and let it out in a harsh wuff of air. Suddenly he shook himself as hard as he could, water droplets flying everywhere as his fur stuck out at all ends. Once he finished he knelt down in a play bow position, resting his chest and chin against the ground, before rolling his hips over and landing with a 'thud' on the ground. Scooting around in a manner devoid of pride he rolled onto his back, front paws waving in the air. Finally he cocked his head back and looked at the world and Evita upside down.

warpugs said the following:

Evita's head drew back in surprise and she raised a brow as he shook and lowered himself into a playful bow. As he rolled onto his back she couldn't help but laugh. She had never seen a grown wolf act this way, and his massive size made it all the more funnier. She slowly padded over to him, circling around him once before stopping in front of him. "What on Earth are you doing?" She smilled curiously down at him, brows raised and tail swaying from side to side gently.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki wriggled more on his back when Evita came closer. His yellow eyes followed her as she circled him and finally stopped by his head. It was difficult for him to see her at this angle and his attempts to get a better look probably made him look slightly manic. At her question he snorted softly and replied, "I don't know. I'm not very good at apologies." His tail brushed slowly back and forth in the mud puddle he's created for himself.
warpugs said the following:

Evita sat down before him, head cocked to the side. She looked away from him as he spoke. "I... suppose I owe you an apology too." She glanced back to him. "I can be a little dramatic sometimes..." An embarrassed smile made its way onto her muzzle and her head turned to look at him fully.

sourlemonfox said the following:

He regarded Evita quietly after her apology. Birds were singing and chirping in the canopy above and he could still hear the sound of the stream babbling over rocks and logs. Finally his tongue lolled out the side of his mouth as he gave her a wolfy grin. Reaching with his right leg he pawed at her face, leaving a long smear of mud in her brown fur.

warpugs said the following:

Evita had looked up and was watching and listening to the birds when he slapped a muddy paw onto her face. She gasped and looked at him in surprise, jumping up from where she had been sitting. Her eyes narrowed and a playful smirk danced on her muzzle. She took notice of an especially watery mud puddle closer to the water and a look of mischief crossed her face.
"If this is how you want to play..." She leapt around him and straight into the puddle with all her weight, mud spraying over him. She had managed to partially cover herself as well but clearly didn't mind and looked quite proud of herself over the mess she had made.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki only had time to let out a strangled yelp before he was bathed in mud. He rolled back over on his stomach and shook his head furiously, huge blobs of filth flying everywhere. He sneezed twice before finally opening his eyes and glaring playfully at Evita. "Was that really worth it?" he drawled, nodding his snout at her and the mud monster she'd become.

warpugs said the following:

She considered what he said for a moment, looking over at her mud-soaked side. "Hmm... Most definitely! You are far more covered than I am." She grinned widely and pawed a playful scoop of mud at him.
"This mud look suits you well, you know." She plopped down in the mud in front of him again.

sourlemonfox said the following:

He couldn't help himself--he laughed. She looked ridiculous and he could only imagine what he looked like. The paw-full of mud Evita flung at him landed squarely on his head and dripped down his neck in fat droplets. He huffed another laugh at her comment and said drolly, "Yeah, I feel like I could be an alpha now. Thank you."

warpugs said the following:

"Ah, yes. Rikki: Alpha of the Mud Wolves." She spoke in a dramatic noble voice, eyes closed and head raised high. She laughed and then looked at him before lowering her head.
"I will be your loyal mud subject." She was quite enjoying this side of Rikki. He didn't seem sad like he had every other moment she had been with him.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki raised his head loftily and lowered his ears against his head. "Ah yes, Mud Wolf Beta Evita, my most trusted follower." he announced airily. He shifted his weight and reached out one paw to touch her on both shoulders, leaving muddy paw-prints in the mud already coating her. "Do you promise to devote your life to Mud and all it's muddy ways?" He fought hard to keep from barking with laughter. It had been a long time since he'd gotten to relax a little and act like a pup.

warpugs said the following:

Evita bowed her head and closed her eyes as he spoke, playing along. She slowly opened her eyes and responded, "Yes, I do. Mud is my life. It's the only way of life." She giggled and collapsed into the mud beside him. She stretched out her back legs behind her, looking much like a frog in doing so.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki snorted in laughter, unable to keep a straight face anymore. There was so much mud on him he sneezed again just for good measure. He cocked his head at Evita's pose, brows raising. "You look like a frog." he stated. Turning his head to look back at himself he scooched his own back legs out from under him and tried to mimic the pose, his injured leg not stretching out quite as far as the other. With a huff he plopped his chin down in the mud between his front paws, beginning to enjoy how cool it felt even through his thick pelt.

warpugs said the following:

Evita looked back at her legs and laughed softly. "I suppose I do. The mud probably doesn't help." She studied his injured leg for a second as he attempted to stretch out. "Does it hurt?" She was curious but there was a hint of concern in her voice. She looked back up to his face and mimicked his pose this time, muzzle resting in the mud, as she waited his response.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki sighed. "Not so much anymore." he mumbled in reply. And he wasn't lying. Their goofing around took his mind off the pain and the mud now packed around the wound dulled the hot ache. Never the less, he waved his tail so that it lay over the injured leg, concealing it from further view. Not that he thought Evita would take advantage of his injury but he didn't exactly enjoy going around announcing his lameness. He turned his muzzle in the mud to face her more. "...friends?" he asked awkwardly.

warpugs said the following:

"Well, I'm glad to hear it." She looked out ahead of her from where her head rested in the mud. Her ears swiveled back to him as he spoke and she lifted her head, mud dripping from her muzzle.
"Friends!" She grinned widely. She glanced down at her body. Her fur was absolutely caked in mud and she chuckled. "Perhaps we should rinse this mud off now so that we're actually dry before dark."

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki hummed in agreement and pushed himself back up with a grunt. The mud sucked down on his body and finally released him with a huge squelch. As an afterthought he shook his whole body again, sending chunks of mud flying in all directions, making sure most of it ended up on Evita. "C'mon Mud-Frog, sun'll be going down soon." He looked up at the sky and watched the afternoon light dapple through the leaves.
warpugs said the following:

Evita squinted her eyes and drew away from him a bit as the mud flung onto her. "Heeeey!" She laughed.
She stood up and shook off as well. She padded closer to the bank of the water and bowed toward Rikki. "After you, m'lord." She winked up at him.

sourlemonfox said the following:

Rikki chuckled, stepping away and attempting to shield his face with a foreleg as Evita shook. Playing along still he held his head high and began to walk back to he stream as lord-ily as he could while still favoring his injured leg. Today hadn't been so bad after all.
