For anyone who loves WW Kvaen and/or Embry.
The feeling of the first rain after a long draught was an incredible one. It was refreshing, it was relieving, it was relaxing and it gave off a feeling of having quenched a thirst that could not be satisfied by simply drinking. The fat drops that spilled from the nearly black clouds overhead hit the earth in almost deafening splashes, pounding relentlessly against both the earth and the rock formation that sheltered a pair of sleeping beasts. A flash of lightning, closely followed by an explosion of thunder that sounded like it might as well have been a monster roaring in the faces of the two curled together in the little cave. One bright green eye cracked open, practically glowing against the shadows of the cave and the pitch black coat of its owner. “It seems that it came faster than we thought it would.”
A set of darker green cracked half-way open, sliding off to the side to regard the companion that had spoken almost accusingly-As if he had been sleeping before the other spoke when he had been awake since the rain started to get heavier. “It would seem that way, yes.” The eyes slid to their ‘cave’ entrance, leering at the quickly growing puddle just outside. Kvaen did not like rain just as Embry did not like the sun. Embry yawned broadly, pushing himself in to a sitting position and just barely managing to avoid knocking his head on the ‘cave’ ceiling. He was not a small brute by any means, neither of them were. They were Dires, full-blooded Dires, and there was no such thing as small in regards to the size of a Dire. “I’m hungry.”
Embry snorted, tilting his head in Kvaen’s direction with a sort of bitter half-smile. Kvaen responded to the look with his own expression of absolute seriousness. A silent exchange that really needed no words at all but both males tended to speak out loud regardless of this-It was a nice thing to hear another’s voice and be reminded that you were not alone. “Do you really think I am going to run around out there just because you are hungry and don’t like the rain?” Embry asked, batting at one of Embry’s curved ram horns playfully. It might have surprised a stranger or even one who knew the two that Kvaen smirked at this as he seemed one that never stopped frowning.
“Well, are you hungry as well?” A deep grumble from Embry’s abdomen drew both sets of green eyes to his stomach for a moment before locking on each other. Embry grinned, Kvaen quirked a brow at him.
“No, of course not.”
