Waiting for an old friend (Open)

[nocivlk]

Noci stood just outside of the property of the swamp looking into the dark and dense jungle. He walked a step forward and the hesitated. He thought to himself, Why am I here... I guess it is an age old mystery I will never solve. He walked forward into the swamp.

As he got into the deeper into the swamp he started wading through the muck of the swamp, his legs and bottom of his chest are covered in the disgusting landscape. The reek of old decomposing vegetation rushing into his nose. He gagged every now and then. He took a breath and expelled it from his lungs. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "Why Okron wanted to meet here of all places is beyond me." Noci growled, "This place is horrid, not to mention smells." He got out of the mud and gunk and headed for higher land. as he stood by the tree he shook causing the mud in his coat to fly all around.

He saw the old tree where his friend would meet him. He walked forward and saw the tree. He lifted his front two paws onto the tree to smell of any sent around to mark a territory. None. Good, Vlk thought to himself, I don't want to per-trud in a groups area. He put his front paws on the ground and looked around again looking for shadows.

Vlk was a cautious fellow, after all living a hundred and sixty-seven years will make you an enemy or two. He laid down in the soft grassy area and waited.

Okron had chosen to come to the bog because he knew it would irritate his friend. Secretly, the black demon had been following the brute, keeping above the green grotesque smelling swamp just to see what Noci Vlk would do. The two had known each other for a while now. By his last count it had been 79 years. Okron quite enjoyed Vlk's company and he was disappointed when the two had split up. He knew though, that he could not stay with Noci, only because he was another demon, such as himself. Okron had to have a normal living creature to survive, otherwise he would have made the blood pact with Vlk long ago. Flapping his hardened wings, the brute watched his companion stop at their rendezvous and decided he had tortured him enough. Taking one deep breath of clean air, Okron spiraled down, penetrating the mucky, thick air. The scent of rotting plants and wet mud was strong, though he had grown used to it. Touching down on a more solid platform, the demon gave a bark to let Noci Vlk that he was here.

Upon reaching his friend, Okron rubbed his head on Vlk's in a simple display of affection. Did he mean anything by this? No, just a way he had grown accustomed to when greeting companions. "It's been too long, Noci Vlk." He flicked his tail and lowered his haunches, looking over the other wolves's body. He hadn't changed much, the only thing he saw different was his ear flopping more then usual. Nothing to comment on. "How've you been keeping?" He tilted his head in curiosity and gave a teasing smile. "Any Fae's to woo once you return home?" Okron truly did love picking on Vlk, only because he was like a brother. The both of them were so old, that he didn't feel offended when Noci made angry or demeaning comments about him. He knew that both of them would get over it and become the great friends that they were. But, he was curious to know if Vlk had a harem to come back to. Perhaps he would share and allow Okron to take one of the females for himself? Nah, not likely.
