[BORDER] Danger Noodle (Hikaru x Equi)

[Z o m b i k ii]

For once in her short life, the Dragoness was lost for words! This young male was a strange and peculiar creature - unlike nobody she had ever met inside her own Pride. She wondered, where all Outlanders as dramatic as he? Or was he an oddball amongst he own kin? Equi had never really been too concerned about their brutish neighbours - but if all were as brash as this one. Well, that thought was terrifying to say the least!

As he gave her title after title her face remained stoic. The female held her frustration between clenched teeth, unable to open her jaw. With a roguish flare he met every challenge she made - and it was near insufferable. How dare he. How. Dare. He. As the dark male ran her tongue along her paw and beyond, she had to fight the urge to swipe at his face - instead the limb went rigid and her breath caught in her lungs.

She wished the redness that had settled on her face was caused by fury alone. But she knew that was not the case - there was a charm in his boldness that she could not deny, though it did not make her anymore fond of him. The huntress brought her paw back onto her raised platform, before swiftly leaning down towards him.

Not one to back away from a challenge - and sure that he would scare a lot easier than she did, golden eyes closed as her nose pressed against his. She could feel his warm breath mingle with hers - and she was grateful he did not smell as bad as she expected him to.

”L-lordess - Put him out of his misery, this joke has gone on- long enough!” Tigi tripped over his words as he called over to his young mistress - he was in disbelief, unable to comprehend the scene that was unfolding in front of him. He was not a fan of the fact that Equi was kissing strange boys, especially ones that had rolled in from the Outlands - what would her mother think?

Frustration bubbled in his belly as his words were ignored, until finally a sharp hiss caught the lionesses attention at last. After lingering for what must have been an uncomfortable amount of time for the male - she finally opened her eyes again.

“Go home to your mother, boy. Be thankful the only thing that you lost today was your pride.” She whispered before pulling away from him.

He could feel her breath wash over his face, the warm press of her nose to his. Any young male's heart would skip a few beats at having any female so close, let alone one he would grudgingly admit was pretty. Before he could actually embarrass himself, the viper of a familiar spoke up.

...Joke?

He leaned back, his gaze shifting from Equi to Tigi as his mind hurried to process this new bit of information. Had he been deceived? Oh no, oh the Ancestors were surely laughing at him. The young male's dark fur hid the vibrant blush that rose to his cheeks. But, his embarrassment was not hard to miss. The slack of his jaw, the way his eyes suddenly couldn't rise to meet her gaze.

If anyone found out about this he would surely be the laughing stock of the entire Outlands. Hikaru, the foolish boy who thought he got bit by a poisonous snake! All that false confidence, all that bravado, crumpled to the floor like a wet pile of leaves.

His dignity too was finding its way into that mess. "You -" he sputtered, trying to think of a worthy comeback to the utter humiliation she had dealt him. "I hope you choke on your snake!" he called out, and before she could get in a last word (he would be damned if he let her) Hikaru turned out of the cave and darted away from the dragonness and her bedeviled snake.
