One and the Same (Jenth)

[Missa]

Generally, she was happy. Shiane had always been content with what she was given, and Shiask gave her a level of adoration she'd never thought possible. The wher was generally quiet, but so intelligent, between them they'd worked out a series of sounds that meant different things to help her along. A low, short croon in the back of his throat warned her of a slippery or steep slope, a short, sharp bark-like-cough told her of a step upwards, or some other obstacle over which she had to step.

Which meant the wher was hardly from her side too, and she honestly didn't like it when he wasn't. She'd thought it would have been awkward, but seeing as he hadn't had the urge to chase, Shi saw no reason why she wouldn't love him as much as any creature ever. Rather than even heat images, impressions of a smell or sound were touched on her mind, things she would completely understand. Still, it was hard for Shi to completely understand even the people she would soon work closely with, they didn't understand the world of darkness in her world,a nd secondly, only a few of them understood the idea of a male mind bonded to a female mind.

A curious humming sound jolted her from her thoughts, and Shiane tilted her head towards the sound. Obviously, Shiask was finished eating, though he hadn't been long. Frowning slightly as she shifted on the grass, she smiled reassuringly as she feltthe press of his hunger against her mind.
"I'm fine." This was accompanied with feelings of reassurance and love, urging him back to his food. It was kind of lonely out there though, maybe someone else would come along and keep her company while Shiask fed. Unlikely though.

How long had it been, what, 8 months now? In that time Liansk was no longer that little blue ball that had emerged from the egg Sabresk had given her. Actually he was about the size of his 14 turns old handler, with more room to grow in the both of them. Her chest only started filling out not long ago, puberty not far away. The two had been quite inseparable, stuck to each other’s side nearly literally. The blue was such a charmer, and Lianly had been homesick for a long time. Not anymore, they had 3each other.

Having just finished eating, Liansk was chirping and barking happily as his handler wiped blood off him with a damp towel. “Oh you are such a puppy! Don’t ever change!” Ignoring the fact he was still a bit messy she hugged him around the neck, red smearing her front. There was no way this girl was going to be vain at this rate.

Suddenly she was pushed over lightly and the blue wagged his tail innocently, laying on the ground beside her. “Yes, I know I’m tired but I stay up for you…” Getting back up noise told them they weren’t alone. “Oh Shiane! You two are out too?”

If Shiane hadn't heard the bark of the other wher, Shiask's light hearted croon of greeting would have alerted her. Generally, he wouldn't greet many with that same light heartedness, being a mostly silent wher. However, who ever it was would be determined by the voice, since she didn't know many of her fellow wher handler's well enough to distinguish footsteps. Shiask didn't seem worried though, returning to his meal almost immediately after greeting the smaller wher.

That voice... Female, and she knew it. She did. Frowning in concentration, Shiane went as far as to tilt her head slightly as though that could make the voice register recognition, and finally it did.
"Lianly, hullo. Yeah, Shiask was hungry and I figured we needed a walk anyway. How's Liask?" Murmuring the words almost shyly, the only thing that really kept her talking was the constant flow of reasurance and love from Shiask's mind, and she turned her head towards the girl's voice.

"They've grown alot, haven't they?" She knew it from teh weight of Shiask's head in her lap, the height of his shoulder when she reached towards him, even the deepening of his croons and coughs. Just like any draconic creature, he seemed to be growing at alarming speed, but she wouldn't... Couldn't know when he stopped, or what colour his hide was... Only what others told her.
