After having found a small pup lost and confused in the forrest, Mizuki had tried to help... But as he aproached the little one had gotten scared and tried to run, and because it already had gotten dark the pup had gotten stuck and hurt his paw...
It had taken quite a while but patience had made the little one allow for Mizuki to help and so he kept it close, giving it a soft smile as it whimperd low "Ne, where do you live little one~? This is no place for someone so little to wander alone in... Especially not at night~"

Feelin something come closer Mizukis ears flicked and had the wind been right he might have recognized the scent but as it was now he swiftly and quietly moved higher up in the tree to keep the pup safe...
But even so he remained relaxed to stress the pup as little as possible. He threw a glance down at him to see if he would get an anwser, but it did not seem lile it "It's alright, you can stay with me over night, then we will find where you belong~" he said with a almost purring voice, but he soon turned his gaze to the ground to see what was comming.

Raiden keeps running and soon he comes out to where Runts scent is the strongest. He stops just below the tree where Mizuki is sitting and sniffs around. And when finding how the pups scent mix so much with another his growls deeply, especially as he can scent that they are still close. Lifting his head he looks around, and then the wind brings the scent from the tree to him and he looks up. As the worry for Runt is most prominent right now, he doesn't fully register that it's Mizuki holding him, but instead he makes himself look much bigger as he growls threatening and the flames around him grows.

Mizuki tenses as he sees what it that comes barging through the forrest... Especially when it stopped just bellow the tree... He silently changed to the shape of a panther, a white one but... A panther none the less. Because if a creature that big came after them then he knew there was no chance of out running it, not on the ground at least, but in the trees they would be safe for a little while at least.
Thou at the growl the pup starts wriggeling and lets out a happy bark... Becasue as it was now he did not see that they were both mad, he was just happy that Raiden was there~
And so he let out a happy bark and wagged his tail, but this high up he could not get down on his own... And so he instead looked at Mizuki letting out a small "Frrrr~" and cuddled against him to ask to be taken down.

When seeing that it's a panther holding his pup Raidens growl gets lower and more threatening as his flames licks the tree and moves upwards towards Mizuki, trying to force him to let Runt go.
When hearing Runt bark his ears peak up some as it does calm him just a fraction hearing that at least there's no whine. And so he lets out a low rumble of his own as answer telling him to get down.

Mizuki frowns as the flames gets closer, he grabs Runt carefully by the scruff of his neck and quickly jumps between the trees untill he reaches a larger and more robust one... He then gets higher up as he has no interest of getting burned.
But as he notices Runts reaction he first looks confused, he lets out a wondering sound, but as Runt happily waggs his tail and looks between Mizuki and Raiden... Thou hearing the comand from Raiden he wriggles to get down... Thou even after getting put down on a branch he can't get down and so he soon ran back to Mizuki looking pleading at him.
Mizuki lets out a sigh and picks the pup up again he looks around for a moment before jumping between the branches on diffrent trees, moving FAST to make sure that Raiden did not keep up with the quick turns, and as he reached the ground he put the pup down safely only to quickly be back out of reach, thou he changed to he large tiger shape and stayed close, ready to attack should the larger creature try to hurt the pup.
Runt let out a happy bark as he ended up on the ground and ran up to Raiden but limped as his paw still was sore... But he then looked up towards Mizuki letting out a complaining sound as the person who had helped him left like that.

As Mizuki moves to another tree Raiden growls again and moves after on the ground while the flames steadily grows larger and reaches higher. Though as he sees how Runt is put down the flames shrink back. But just for a moment as Runt runs back to the panther and then it moves away. He tries to follow, but it's not as easy on the ground. Though that doesn't keep him from trying.
But as Runt is put down on the ground and comes running towards him Raiden leaves the large cat be and instead walks up to meet Runt as he lets the flames die out, for now. As he comes up to Runt he sniffs the injury and growls low as his mind makes the conclusion that it was the cat that did it. Though finding no other injury on his pup he licks Runts head as he's glad to have found him. Then he picks him up by the scruff and glance up to make sure the cat is still at a safe distance up in the tree

Runt lets out a soft purring sound to apolegise he cuddles against Raiden, but as he hears the growl he realises that the two were not very happpy with one another... But not wanting for Mizuki to be hurt he stands inbetween them letting out a low whimper with big puppy eyes to ask Raiden not to be mad.
Thou as he is licked and then picked up he lets out a small gasp, thou he stays still not wanting to make things worse... But he wags his tail happily at Mizuki letting out a small bark, and gets a soft rumble back.
Mizuki smiled, and as he realised that Raiden would leave him alone he took his human form once more, just in time for Raiden to glance back at him, he gives him a polite nod before jumping down on the ground and starts walking 'along' the forrest.

Raiden lets out a small sound as he accepts the apology, but also to let Runt know that they will discuss this later. And when seeing the big eyes Raiden lets out a small sigh finding it hard to stay mad when seeing that look. Though he's glad that Runt stays still when picked up as he doesn't want to make the injury worse.
When he looks up and sees a man where the cat was he blinks some and he realise who it is. He smiles slightly and puts Runt down again for a moment. "Mizuki?" He tilts his head slightly and looks after him

Runts ears goes down and he lets out a ashamed whine as he never meant to make Raiden disapointed, and he keeps the big puppy eyes.
When hearing his name Mizuki stops, and recognizing the voice he turns back with a suprised look on his face "Raiden?" he takes a few steps back... Runt looks at him with a confused look but then looks at Raiden for a explanation.

Raiden just let out another small sound as he sees that Runt is ashamed, not to comfort him as he finds it good that Runt can see that he did something wrong. But more to acknowledge that he finds it good that Runt can see what was wrong.
As Mizuki stops and says his name Raiden nods and change back to his human form. He smiles at Mizuki and bows his head in greeting. "I apologise for chasing you up a tree~" he chuckles some and when seeing the confused look from Runt he bends down and picks him up. "Mizuki is a frined of mine~"

Mizuki bows his head as well to return the greeting"Well technicly I was already in a tree but apolegy accepted~" he said with a light laugh and tilted his head "Is he your pup?" he asked nodding at Runt.
Runt cuddles against Raiden with a small purr but then looks even more confused "You know him?" he looks between the two of them.

Raiden lets out a small embarrassed chuckle. "Thank you~" he was very glad that Mizuki didn't seem mad. At the question he nods softly. "He is~ so I'm a bit protective I guess..." He looks at Runt and strokes his head softly as he cuddles. He smiles as the confusion grows and nods. "We do. We met a while back and spent some time together talking and such." He then moves his hand and gently touch Runts paw taking a closer look. "What happened?"

Mizuki gave him a warmer smile but leaves it at that... Thou hearing that the pup indeed is Raidens he looks suprised at first but then smiles "I see, that explains a lot~" he said still not mad but not impressed either.
Runt nods as he gets it explained, even thou he still felt a bit confused at the whole thing... Thou as Raiden touches his paw he pulls it away fast with a whimper as it hurt, but it was not broken, it seemed more like it was twisted, or maybe sprained... And at the question Runt looks down as he found it very much embarrassing "I got lost... He found me and tried to help..." he nodded at Mizuki "I got scared and ran and my paw got stuck, then it hurt..." he laid his ears back and kept his paw up as he did not want to put any weight on it. Mizuki smiled exusing and knowing that Raiden most likely had asked Runt he didn't want to interupt "Then he helped me loose and said he would look after me til we could find home in the morning... But you found me~" he looked happy once more and started cuddeling against Raiden once more.

Seeing that Mizuki gets surprised he chuckles slightly and nods as he strokes Runts head softly.
When Runt pulls his paw away and whimpers Raiden gently pets his head. "It's not broken at least, so it will feel better soon~" he smiles as he just wants to encourage Runt and let him know it will be okay. Hearing what happened he frowns slightly but hugs Runt back as he cuddles. "That's why you shouldn't be out alone in the dark. It can be dangerous..." he looks up at Mizuki and looks rather apologetic. "And I do apologise to you for letting my instincts see you as a threat. I was merely concerned about my pup. And hearing whim whine as well as there being another scent with his as well as a large cat holding him...well, my mind saw that as a threat. And I am sorry about the hostility. I know you wouldn't harm him." He bows his head hoping that Mizuki will accept his sincere apology.

"Then is his mother searching in the town for him?" he asked as the thought that Raiden may not be the biological father never crossed his mind, nor that there might not be a mother in the picture.
Runt nods and lets out a small whine as he did not like that the paw was hurting, even thou it would pass soon... Thou as he heard that he shouldn't be out he tucked his tail between his legs but reached to lick the corner of Raidens mouth as a apolegy.
Hearing the apolegy Mizuki smiled softly as he did understand even thou he never had experianced it himself... He gave Raiden a smile and nod to confirm that he accepted the apolegy but then got a more mischiveous look in his eye "Treat me to a meal some time and I will forgive you~" he said as a joke and let out a laugh

At the mention of Runts mother Raiden looks serious and he hopes that Runt hasn't picked up on what's being said. "I can explain all a bit later." And he hopes that Mizuki will take the hint and not ask more right now.
As Runt whines again he lets out a small comforting sound. And as Runt apologises more to him he smiles and nuzzles him softly as he does accept the apology.
Though he lets out a small laugh at the price for Mizukis acceptance. "Well, we are going home to have dinner. And I believe I have enough deer at home for you as well, so you're more than welcome to join us~" He smiles warm as he had just been about to ask if Mizuki had wanted to come back with them and have dinner

Hearing the anwser about Runts mother Mizuki blinks suprised but he says nothing more and instead he just nods and gives him a slightl apolegising look.
Runt looks a bit calmer as his apolegy is accepted, but he keeps close, and nuzzles from time to time as he still felt a little nervous over what he had done.
Mizuki smiled as he hears the laugh, but as Raiden actually offers to get him dinner he lets out a small laugh "I suppose it will be worth forgiving you for some good dear~"

Raiden smiles at him as he seems to understand and as Runt seems calmer as well it seems like he didn't pick up on the subject that got up. He holds Runt close so that he can relax more, or hide if he wants to. Raiden chuckles slightly as Mizuki accepts his invitation. "Well, I do hope you like it raw as well~" he smiles as he says it jokingly even though it's very much true. Then he starts walking back to the hut showing for Mizuki to follow him.

Runt nuzzles close as he was placed more propperly... But having had a trying day he started to doze off already before Raiden started to walk.
"I always prefeered it raw~" he said with a grin, keeping the joking tone even thou it was entirely true.

He strokes Runts head softly and feeling him doze off he holds him a bit better so he can sleep if he wants to.
He smiles at Mizuki. "Well then~in that case there will be quite a lot to eat~because it looks like this little one won't be with us for long for dinner~" he smiles warm and indicates to the very tired pup in his arm.

"Oh?" he asked a bit suprised but seeing that the pup was as good as asleep he let out a soft laugh "So it would indeed seem~ But I cannot say I mind~"

He nods some and smiles. "That's good~" He looks at Mizuki some and tilts his head just slightly. "May I ask how you found him?"

Mizuki shakes his head and smiles softly "No I don't mind at all~ I was not doing something special just felt like a break from the city was necissary... And as I was starting to head back I heard him. And after following the sound I saw a scared, lonely and most likely lost pup... Unfortunatly I must have startled him because he barely had thrown a glance at me before dashing off... And he was going deeper into the forrest." Mizuki let out a small sigh and shook his head as he truly ahd been worried for the pup "I caught up with him and managed to calm him a little, even thou he still refused to speak to me... And as he would not tell me where he lived, or who looked after him I found it better to keep him with me untill day break and look around the edge of the forrest and then in the town, hoping he would feel calmer after a nights rest... Then something" he gave Raiden a meaning look with a joking hint to it "came barging through the forrest. And knowing all beings here are far from nice it just seemed safer for him and for me to hide in the trees, not as many can get to you there..."

Raiden listens to what Mizuki says and he finds it very sweet that he would go to such length to keep an unknown pup safe like that. And knowing about how cautious Runt can be around strangers he isn't surprised that Runt ran away seeing Mizuki. Especially as Raiden has talked to him about the dangers of the forest at night. And when getting the meaning look he grins a bit silly and shrugs as he knows it might not have been the best idea, but as he was worried it seemed like a very good idea at the time. "Thank you for taking care of him~ And I don't blame you for scaring him deeper into the forest. He is very suspicious of new people and is easily scared then when he's on his own. Though I'm very grateful that you didn't just leave him be as he ran. As well as the fact that you wanted to keep him safe from the dangers around here...even if the beast this time was me~" he chuckles some.

Seeing the grin he knows that Raiden got what he had wanted to say... But when being thanked he smiled a bit more "Don't mention it~ I have been young and scared as well an I would just like to return the fkindness shown to me and hope that this little one might do the same one day~" he said with a warm smile.
He nodded and actually felt a little relived as he heard that it wasn't HE who had scared the poor pup "I could never leave a lone child in a place like this... Especially when I know there is danger around." he shook his head as it sounded insane to him "Even if the danger isn't really danger~" he said with a slight laugh.

He smiles warm and nods. "We've all been young and frightened... and to be honest, he has already started showing the same kindness~ taking home other lost little pups that need help~ though unfortunately that little one was not fit for a pack..." he sigh slightly as it still bothers him that he couldn't help that small fox more.
He can tell that Mizuki gets relieved, which is why he wanted to explain properly. And it does warm his heart that Mizuki would do so much for a lonely child. "True~ but ever danger feels very real when you're alone and scared. I'm just glad that you seemed to be able to keep him calm~"

"Very much so~" he said with a laugh but hearing that Runt was kind already his smile warmed "What a good pup he must be then~ Taking after his father perhaps~?" he smiled softly as he found that very heart warming to hear, but he couldn't keep a joking tone from his voice.
"Very much so~" he said with a despondent sigh "And I wasn't able to at first... But as I stayed calm and did nothing but keep him close to my chest... He calmed down~" he said with a soft smile as he looked over at Runt and a part of him wished for a little one of his own to care for.

As Mizuki compliments Runt then Raiden can't help but to smile warmer. "He's always been a good pup~" He chuckles slightly and shakes his head at the joking tone. "And I believe that he would be that with or without me~"
He looks at Mizuki softly as he gets a feeling that Mizuki would be very good with a pup. "That's the important thing, if you keep calm then he will eventually calm down as well~"
Soon they reach the edge of the clearing where Raiden has his cabin. He smiles and walks inside. There he keeps the door open for Mizuki. "Welcome inside~" He then looks at Runt and as he seems to still be sleeping he walks to the bedroom and carefully lays him down on the bed, careful not to wake him.

Mizuki tilts his head a bit as he sees the warmer smile and he can't help that it rubs off on him "I belive you, but I strongly belive that all little ones are a reflection of their parents, so you should take some credit for how he has turned out~"
Mizuki nods in agreement with a soft smile... But as they reach the cabin he looks around, finding it to be a very sweet location and as the door is opened he bows his head polite "Thank you~" he said as he stepped in... But as Raiden walked away with he pup he felt just a little uncomfortable being left alone but very much understood why Raiden wanted to put the pup to bed...
Runt let out a small sound as he no longer had Raidens warmth, and he cuddled up where he felt the scent of Raiden being the strongest, and he did sleep lighter now, but he remained asleep.

Raiden keeps his smile, and even though he takes what Mizuki says as a compliment he still believes that he has little to do with it and that it's Runts real parents that's laid the kind foundation.
He bows his head as Mizuki thanks him and does feel slightly bad for leaving him like that, but knowing that Runt needs to get to bed that's more important. So seeing how Runt curls up close to Raidens pillow he smiles and moves it closer to him before carefully rearranging the covers to form a little nest around the sleeping pup. He strokes his head gently before leaving the bedroom and closing the door. Then he looks up at Mizuki and smiles at him. "My apologies, though the pup needed to get to bed properly~" He walks up to the cupboard he has in the kitchen area and smiles seeing that he has meat indoors already. So he turns to Mizuki again. "Would it be okay with you to eat in human form tonight?"

Runt keeps the light sleep untill he has settled in the new sleeping enviorment... But it did not take long before his breathing grew slower and deeper once more and he felt calmer and happier.
Mizuki shakes his head as Raiden apolegises "No need to apolegise, I understand~ Once your a parent nothing else matters as much, no?" he asked with a smile and leaned a little against a wall as he had yet to be invited to sit and he did not want to take any freedom.
At the following question he nodded with a smile still on his lips "I am far more used to eating in my human form, so I wont mind at all~"

Being glad that Mizuki understands his concerns for Runt Raiden can't keep from keeping his smile. He nods and sigh slightly, though it is a rather content sigh. "Very true~ and it changed more than I could ever imagine. Especially with raising him alone..." he can't keep a slight sadness away as he does feel bad for Runt to grow up without a proper pack.
Though as Mizuki agrees to be in human form he smiles again and nods as he takes out a couple of very tender pieces of deer. "Please, take a seat and make yourself at home~" He gestures for the simple table before taking out plates and cutlery to place on it

Mizuki nods slow and keeps a soft smile "I don't blame you~" he said but then frowned a little as he realised what Raiden had said "Alone?... Then I can understand why you did not want to anwser my question earlier... Especially not as the little one alread has had a very tiering day already." he said but tilted his head a little to confirm weather he had understood it right or not...
Mizuki subconsiously sniffed the air as the meat was brought out and he could feel his mouth water "Thank you~" he said with a polite bow of his head and took a seat at the table.

Raiden nods to confirm that Mizuki has understood correctly. "Very much so..." Before saying more he flicks his ear towards the bedroom, but as Runt seems to be sound asleep still he continues. "I found him not long after I came back to the city almost a year ago. He was all alone and so I took him in. So it might not be much, but we are a small pack together~" He smiles softly even though a sadness can be seen still. "But he's handling it all very well. Though as you did notice he's still cautious around strangers. When I met him he almost started a forest fire~" He chuckles slightly as he still finds that rather amusing in a way.
Seeing how Mizuki reacts to the meat he grins slightly and brings out some water as well. Then he sits down in his seat and takes about half of the meat before showing for Mizuki to help himself. He smiles at him. "Please help yourself~"

Hearing the whole story Mizukis ears lowers slightly "My apolegies, I didn't mean to prey..." he said and for a brief moment lowerd his gaze as an apolegy but then looked back at Raiden "It was a kind thing of you to do..." he said with a new tone of respect in his voice, not that there had not been respect before, but this time it ran deeper.
He nods to show that he listens as Raiden continues, thou hearing about their first meeting the corner of his mouth twitched a bit and pulled up in a faint smile but shook his head slightly as he found it hard to belive that such a small thing could cause any damage.
"Thank you~" he bowed his head politely before taking the rest of the meat, he licked his lips and a more of the predetator in him could be seen in his eyes as he studied the food before him.

Raiden nods as he accepts the apology. "It's okay~ curiosity is a natural thing. Though the pup is still very sensitive about the subject, so it's best to leave it be while he's around..." He smiles softly at the compliment and when hearing the new respect in his voice.
Seeing how Mizuki smiles, even if faintly he just lets out another small chuckle as he understands if he finds it hard to believe that Runt would do such a thing.
He just nods as he's thanked as he starts eating. Even though he's in human form, eating still brings out a more animalistic side to him. And with the amount of time he spent as a wolf earlier means he's more hungry than usual, so he hopes that Mizuki excuses him for not being too talkative during the meal

"Very much so but being a cat it might be good to take extra care, at least if you keep an old saying about curiosity and cats in mind~" he tilted his head and put on a small grin and his tail swayed pleased but it calmed soon as he nodded understanding "Of course... For such a little one to have lost his family, it is hard, even when finding a new one... And having had a similar experiance when I was young, however I remember very little of it, I do have some understanding for it." he let out a small sigh but hoped for a swift change of subject.
Thou as no such thing occurred he instead took a bite of his meat, looking as pleased as only cats can as he enjoyed the tenderness and the flavour.

Raiden gives him a crooked smile hearing what he says about curiosity and cats. "I was about to say the same thing, though I didn't want to offend you~" He then nods slightly, and as he too wants to leave the subject he nods his acknowledgement. "My apologies..." he sounds very sincere as he means it and does feel bad for hearing that Mizuki has lost his family as well. Though he doesn't feel a need to know more right now.
As he has taken some bites and stilled the worst hunger Raiden looks up and grins as a very pleased wolf. Seeing that Mizuki looks like a pleased cat he chuckles some and leans back as he feels it easier to be social again. "I hope it tastes good~"

Mizuki lets out a small smile as he finds it rather amusing how alike they seem to think "Oh really? Well I am glad you refrained from it as it would not have been apriciated~" he said with a grin on his lips once more.
At the apolegy he bows his head to accept it but says nothing more as it felt like a shame to bring the conversation down.
Mizuki looks slightly confused as he hears the chuckle but hearing the coment he realises how he must have looked and can't help but to let out a laugh of his own "It is delicious~ I'm feeling spoiled~"

He nods to confirm that he would and he keeps the crooked smile as he rather likes the grin he gets back. "Really? Well, to be honest I wouldn't want to sound as I was threatening you either~" he says it jokingly even though there is a lot of truth to it.
Seeing the confused look he gets he can't help but to let out a small laugh before he looks rather apologetic as well. But he smiles at him at the compliment of the food. "I'm glad you like it~ and as you live in the city I don't know if you've noticed, but there seems to be quite a lot of healthy and meaty animals in the forest right now. They seem to be doing well."

Mizuki let out a small laugh"A coment like that is not simething I would see as a treath~ And should I feel threathened you would know about it soon enough to let me know that was not the intention~" he keept a amused smile, even thou he was glad for the truth in the words.
The laugh earns Raiden a snort, but as he looks apolegetic Mizuki can't stay mad and so he instead smiles back "I try to only sleep in the city, which usually does not happen but one can try~ So I cannot say I have noticed that, but I am glad to hear it~" he said with a smile, however to him it seemed like there was less and less good meat in town.

"I'm glad you see it like that~ because I know some that would take a comment like that as a threat. But I see no reason to threaten you, anymore that is~" He ads the last with a slightly embarrassed as well as joking tone as he did threaten him earlier...
Raiden smiles back at him as he seems to be forgiven. "I see. I haven't actually been in the city for some time now. How do you find it?" He tilts his head slightly and takes another bite as he realize he's yet to ask if Mizuki still finds the city interesting.

"Well where I have been priveously they have been fortunate enough to have peace for a long time... Hence the need to be catious is not as great, and fewer people theathens you... Also, there were mainly humans around me, so there was no imediate danger from them, especially as it was against law to carry weapon, even the law inforcers were only allowed to use their weapoins in cases of absolute need..." he smiles a little as that was actually something he had been missing.
Mizuki nods, as he was well aware of the fact, of course the town was a large place but he had kept an extra eye out, should they bump into one another "It is a nice city, as far as cities goes... But I cannot say the supply of meat has been as rich there. Maybe people are to afraid to go out and hunt on their own these days?" he tilte his head, feeling like Raiden should know better then him.

Listening to what Mizuki says Raiden first looks surprised but then he smiles softly. "That sounds lovely~ I've never been to a place like that. But it does like a good place to live. If nothing else it sounds like a wonderful place for a pup to grow up~"
He nods slightly as he agrees that it's nice for a city. Though hearing that the meat supply isn't the best he frowns. "That doesn't sound good. But I'm not surprised. The forest isn't safe to just wander about in. And no offence towards the hunters of this city, but they can only protect themselves against animals...not against the evil that hides here..." he sigh some as even he is cautious about what can be found in the forest. "Though still there seems to be something that helps the animals thrive. And whatever that is, I'm greatly thankful for its existence."

Mizuki smiles as it very much was lovely but hearing that it would be good to raise a pup he blinked a few times before shaking his head "No I wouldn't recomend it... It is a city, and in all honesty it makes the Bastille feel tiny. And when there is so many people a small pup could easily get lost.
And as there are other problems there, it is HIGHLY competitive, and so people tend to not be nearly as helpful as here..." he said with a small sigh as there was always down sides to everything.
Mizuki just nods agreeing but he keeps from saying much more as he has very little to say on the matter "I agree, it can't be many over all, hunter or not, who would be safe walking about that forrest..." thou hearing about something being in the forrest he tilts his head "Is that so?"

He frowns as Mizuki shakes his head and he can't keep from looking slightly confused. "Bigger than Bastille? Hrm...that doesn't sound like a good place for a pup. It's hard enough to keep track of him in the forest..." He shakes his head slightly as the downsides listed now doesn't weigh up the wonderful sound of no war or weapons. "I believe I prefer the helpful people and the nature then..."
Raiden sigh and shrugs. "In all honesty I don't think anyone is safe in the forest. Though there are some that still risk it, all to keep the town and everyone as safe as possible." Though at the question he shakes his head slightly but smiles slightly. "Yes~ I know it might be silly, but it feels like even though there is great evil poisoning the forest, there is still some good that help it thrive. Something deep inside it. And I like to believe that it will be that way."

"Yes quite a lot so~" he said with a slightly silly smile "That is why I said that I would not recomend it~" he said with a slight frown "And in all honesty... I cannot even imagine you in that city~ And I also prefeer the nature, which is why I am here now~" he said with a light laugh.
But hearing just how dangerous the forrest sounds he tilts his head a bit worried "That bad huh?" he said with a sigh but then his smile returned for a moment "No I don't blame you, I would like to belive in something similar~" he said and then continued to eat.

Raiden laughs slightly as well at the picture of him in such a big city. "You're not the only one. I can't see myself there either~" He smiles as Mizuki agrees with him about the nature. "I'm glad to hear that~ nothing really beats the nature when it comes to feeling free and living~"
He nods slightly. "That bad...though I do have hopes for it to get better once the war is over..." and seeing how Mizukis smile returns his own grows as well. "I remember being young and my mother used to talk about forest gods, and how they took care of everything to keep the forest healthy and safe. And even if they couldn't protect all of it, they always did everything they could~"

Mizuki nods but as he knows that even thou the Bastille is a large city it was NOTHING alike the town he was from... He nods agreeing and lets out a soft purr as some of his memories resurfaces "No there is certainly not~ Nature is where we are all from and even thou people can build things that are absolutly beautiful, it holds nothing against natures beauty~" he added with a warm smile.
Mizuki lets out a low sigh as he finds that truly heart breaking "I will hope for the same, it will give the lands a chance to recover..." he said as he knew very well what happened to lands that were over worked.
He tilts his head looking wondering as that sounded nothing like the religions that he had heard about "Oh? Would you mind telling me~? I don't belive there are any stories like that where I am from, all our gods are either jealous and selfish, or impossibly perfect~" he said with a low laugh.

Feeling that they view the nature in the same way he smiles warm and nods, and even though he could talk about it for hours he felt like they already knew where they stood and so leaves the subject for now.
"Exactly. And if you find it nice now you should see how this country looks when it's all healthy~ it's magnificent in every way~" he gets an almost nostalgic hint to his voice as he still remembers it fondly.
"I don't mind at all~ though I don't remember much to be honest as I was just a pup when she told the stories, and when getting older I had other things to think of and forgot to listen..." there is a hint of regret to his voice as he wish that he remembers more of it. Though as Mizuki mentions the gods he's learned about Raiden tilts his head. "Really? You don't have any selfless gods trying to keep balance?"

"Hm, then I best stick around~ Because I would very much like to see that~" he said and smiled warmly as the thought of this place being even more beautiful seemed almost impossible, and thus, how could he not want to see it?
Mizuki pulls his eyebrows together a little as he could sense that something was off but he did not want to ask unless Raiden wished to tell him "Then I would love hearing some stories~ And if you wish I could tell you some of our mythology~" he said with a smile as he found greek mythology to be highly amusing, and if he started to tel he doubted he would be able to resist telling some about the nordic fenris wolf~ But at the following question he shook his head and smiled faintly "No, we have several who together are meant to maintain balance, but to me they just seem to quarrel~"

Raiden smiles warm and nods. "You really should~ it was that which brought me back here. Though unfortunately I came too late to see it. But I have hopes to see it again one day~"
He registers the slight change in expression but says nothing of it as he doesn't want to linger too much on the subject as it is rather sensitive. But at the prospect of hearing other stories he smiles. "I would love to hear some stories from where you're from~" He frowns hearing about the quarrel amongst the gods. "Really? They should focus on balance, not issues amongst themselves..." he shakes his head slightly, but feels like he shouldn't say too much as his own relationship with gods is a bit rocky at best. "But I can of course tell you some of the stories I remember~ though perhaps it would be nicer to talk about that outside when being closer to them?" He tilts his head slightly and finishes his meat.

Mizuki lets out a small laugh and nods "Well I hope it happens soon then~ Or I will have to find a job and actually start doing something worth while~" he said a bit jokingly, but hearing the rest he smiles softly.
"I can't promise I will tell them as well as I have read or heard them but... I will give it my best shoot~" hearing that they shouldn't fight he let out a laugh "I rather like those gods, if nothing else they are far better then the other stories~" he said as he never had found the bible very interesting. He nodded as he liked the sounds of getting to hear some stories, but at the suggestion of leaving the hut he tilts his head a little wondering "I wouldn't mind at all, but... Are you alright with leaving the pup in here alone?"

Raiden nods slightly but then raise an eyebrow as he chuckles. "You haven't found yourself a job yet? Shame on you~" he says it jokingly as he understands that getting a job might not be something you want to think about when passing through.
"It's okay if you can't tell them the way you remember them, I would love to hear them anyway~ though to be honest I can't promise I will tell it good either...I have forgotten many names over time so I don't know how much will be there...But I will tell them the best I can~" He smiles and tilts his head slightly as he can see the entertainment value in the bickering and quarrels. Though if Gods are real that's not how they should act. Hearing that Mizuki would like to go outside he nods and hearing the question he's actually surprised that his guest would think like that. But he finds it very sweet that Mizuki seems to care so much even after just meeting Runt for such a short time. "It will be okay. He knows that I'm always close by if he calls~ and I usually take smaller walks during the nights when I find it hard to sleep. So he knows not to worry. Though we leave the door open...makes it easier for me to hear him as well..."

Mizuki lets out a soft chuckle "Definatly not, my priveous occupation is very... Out of place here~" he said with a warm smile as he truly had enjoyed his priveous job, but having lost his partner he couldn't bring himself to stay with it.
Mizuki nods thankfully and keeps the smile on his lips "I don't blame you for not remembering anything will be lovely to hear~"
Hearing that leaving the puppy alone he nods and looks relived, not that he belived that Raiden would do anything he felt was bad for the pup, he had seen how much Raiden cared "Ah I see, well then I certainly don't mind~" he said and his tail swayed happily.

"Oh?" Raiden tilts his head slightly looking a bit curious. "What was your previous occupation?"
Raiden too keeps his smile. "Then I will try not to disappoint you~" He hopes he does remember enough to tell the stories.
"That's good~" he chuckles slightly seeing how happy at least Mizukis tails gets. He then glance at Mizukis plate as he doesn't want to seem rude. "Would you like some more meat, or do you feel satisfied for now?"

"I worked as a scientist... And what I worked most with was to find new medecines~" he said and smiled warmly at the memory, he had never atually completed anything but he HAD managed to help a few people, maybe not for life, but at least temporary.
Mizuki bows his head thankfully but feels that enough has been said about the subject.
Mizuki looks down at his plate and as there only is a mouthful left he takes it and slowly enjoys it "I could never leave such a nice pice of meat go to waste~" he said with a joking smile as he had finished his food, thou there was some truth to it.

"A scientist?" he frowns slightly at first, though as Mizuki explains what he did he smiles. "Ah. That sounds interesting~ with that knowledge I'm sure you can find a job with the pharmacy~"
"I'm glad you like it that much~" he bows his head just slightly as he takes it as a compliment. And as Mizuki finishes his meat Raiden gets up and takes both of their plates over to the small counter.

Mizuki nods to confirm his profession, thou seeing that Raiden doesn't seem to know what it is he is glad he continued... And hearing of the pharmacy he tilts his head a little "I could always ask~... However I am quite sure that our medecine is very different from what you do here... At least it does seem to me that diffrent regions preform medecine in entirely diffrent ways." he said not wanting to risk offending Raiden.
Mizuki stands up and stretches out, letting a pleased purr slip over his lips before watching Raiden "Need help with anything~?"

Raiden nods slightly as he listens. "Perhaps so. But I think the pharmacist will be able to teach you if you need to learn anything~ cause I know he needs a new assistant soon as the one he has will be leaving town for an unknown amount of time..." he shakes his head slightly, though if it means that Mizuki gets a job he doesn't mind at all.
He chuckles slightly hearing the purr but shakes his head at the question. "Thank you for the offer, but I'm good. I'll just put them in some water." He gets some water in the sink and puts the plates away before turning to Mizuki again. "Should we walk outside then?" He smiles and looks at the door

"Really? Then I will definatly go there and see what he says~" he said with a warm smile, as he can't deny that he would love to have SOMETHING to do during the days once more~ And especially if he could help the people here "Thank you for letting me know~"
Mizuki nods and keeps the smile as Raiden declines his offer but he nods once more at the question "Yes, I would like that~" he said and took a few steps towards the door, but then waited for Raiden to follow.

He nods to confirm that what he said was right, and when Mizuki thanks him he smiles warm. "You're welcome~ I hope it works out for you. And please, let me know if you need any help with it."
As Mizuki gets up and walks towards the door Raiden walks over to the door and opens it walking outside. There he waits for Mizuki to make sure the door stays open

Mizuki makes a small polite bow "I am thankful for the offer, but I would prefeer to do it on my own~ I belive it would be better that way then it being said that I tried to get my job through contacts~" he said with a soft smile before walking out after Raiden, also leaving the door open.

Even if Raiden did mean his offer to help he's actually glad that Mizuki declined. If nothing else it shows that he is independent and the answer just confirms that. So he smiles warm at him. As he comes outside Raiden looks up at the starry night sky as he slowly walks to a nice open place in the middle of the clearing. There he sits down and looks at Mizuki, showing for him to join him. "I hope you don't mind the ground..."

Seeing how Raiden looks up Mizuki follows his eyes and seeing the sky he smiles "You can't see stars like this in the town, it's to bright~" he looked around with a slight amazement in his eyes.
He just shook his head softly "I'm not much of a lady, so I don't mind getting some dirt on me~" he said with a light laugh before sitting down next to Raiden "And if I ever did mind, it disapeared as I started to travel on my own~" he said with a soft smile.

"I know. That's why I prefer it here~ you can see the stars most nights here." he looks at Mizuki and smiles seeing the amazement.
He chuckles as Mizuki sits down as well. "Well, I would never take you for a lady anyway~ though I'm glad to hear that you don't mind the dirt. And if nothing else there's a creek close by to wash off~"

"I don't blame you, if I could build a house on my own I certainly would~ It would be magical to have this around me at all times~ But for now, I don't have more then some clothes and the money I can get in a day then it is easier to remain at the inn~" he said with a small shrugg as he didn't mind much "And even if I could build a house I definatly could not afford BUYING all the furniture... Nor do I have services to trade. As the work that most people seem to preform here is not something I know how to do..." he lets out a small sigh as he very mch enjoyed the thought of living this close to nature.
Mizuki let out a small laugh and nodded "I am glad to hear that~ Otherwise there would have been a very easy to prove you wrong~" he gave him a meaning grin but at the mentioning of the creak his ears perked up "Really~? I would love to wash off~"

He nods some as he does see the point to that reasoning. "I don't blame you for thinking that way. And I do know what you mean. It's not easy getting a house out here. Especially not now when people don't want to come out here and build. The only reason I have all of this is because it was left for me..." He sigh some and doesn't really want to go into who left it there for him. But he smiles as Mizuki mentions the services of trading. "Well, if you get a proper job it will be easier for you to find the money to buy what you want~"
He lets out a small laugh seeing the meaning grin. "Oh, that won't be necessary~ I believe you~" Though seeing the reaction to the creek he nods and tilts his head. "Maybe we should go there instead then so that we can wash off. It could be nice to was up a bit."

As Raiden continues it's Mizukis turn to nod agreeingly "No so I have noticed... But then again... I rather like that the room is small, it keeps me from noticing that the room is rather empty~" he said with a soft smile, but there was a hint of sadness to it as he rememberd his past partner.
"You lucky duck~" he said with a soft laugh but asked no questions about who left it as he assumed that Raiden would have told if he wanted for Mizuki to know.
"I do hope so, but one never knows~" he said with a smile and hearing Raidens answer he nodded respectfully to let him know that for now he would keep his trousers on... Thou not for long it would seem as Raiden suggested they go to the creak "Sounds like a good idea to me~" he said with a small smile

He picks up on the sadness but says nothing of it. Instead he just smiles softly. "I'm glad you like the room you have~ that always makes it easier to stay somewhere..."
He chuckles some and shrugs slightly as he does consider himself lucky in one way at least, and he'g glad that Mizuki doesn't ask more.
"True~ though I'm still rather sure that I would know without you showing me~" He smiles back at him as Mizuki agrees and he once more gets up from the ground. He stretch slightly before looking at him. "Should we go then? I can't promise that it will be warm, but I can promise that you'll be clean~"

"Oh I agree~ So thank you for recomending such a lovely inn~" he said with a charming smile as it was due to Raiden that he had found a good place to stay.
"That is very good to hear, because that was not the case when I was younger~" he lets out a slightly amused sigh and shakes his head at the memorie "Of course~" he got up himself and brushed off the worst of the dirt as it showed well on his dark clothes "I don't mind if it is cool, one of the good things about not being human, you are not as sensetive to the climate~ Or at least I am not~"

He smiles warm and bows his head slightly. "You're welcome~ And I'm really glad you like it. And to be fair it is a fairly popular one as well, so they must be doing something right~"
He looks at Mizuki almost surprised hearing that hand blinks slightly before shaking his head looking rather amused as well. "Really? Looking at you now I fail to see how that could have happened. You look very manly to me~" He keeps a joking tone as well and brush some stray leafs from his clothes. "I agree. I find it rather nice with cool water. Though I do know that not everyone shares that opinion..." He then starts walking towards the creek behind the cabin. He looks at Mizuki some to make sure that he follows.

"So am I~" he said with a joking grin, even thou it was true "And I am not suprised that they are popular, they have been ver kind and accomodating, the rooms are nice and the food is good, what more can one ask for~?" he said with a smile as he did not have very high demands about where he lived.
Mizuki lets out a small laugh "I was very slender as teenager, and having big blue eyes with thick eyelashes, there were many who made that misstake~ Further more, I have always had fairly long hair~" he shrugged as he could not say he minded much.
He nodded as he too had heard that there were people who did not enjoy cool water "Well I can agree that it is more plesant when the air is a bit warmer, but I still feel cleaner if the water is cool~" he said as he walked along side Raiden, but showed enough respect to not walk slightly infront, even thou being alone had made him far more comfortable being first.

"I'm glad to hear that~ I have never lived there myself, but I do know that the food is lovely and the staff is usually very nice there. And I've only ever heard good things about it~" he smiles slightly as he's glad that it lived up to Mizukis standards.
Hearing the laughter Raiden tilts his head slightly wondering. Though at the description he smiles softly. "That does sound very adorable~ and then I don't doubt that people were wondering about your gender. Though I guess it doesn't happen anymore, no?"He looks at him and finds it hard to believe that anyone would mistake Mizuki for a woman as he looks now.
Raiden nods slightly and as he notice that Mizuki never steps in front of him the wolf part of him feels very pleased and it makes Raiden relax, cause if the wolf approves then it's usually good. "I feel the same way. I've never been much for the hot baths. Although, on a really cold snowy night it can be wonderful to bathe in a hot spring~"
Reaching the creek he stops and looks at Mizuki. "I hope this will do~" He then starts removing his own clothes

"Oh you have?" he tilted his head a little curiously but then nods agreeing as he to has heard mostly good things, even thou a few things has been complained about he found it ridiculous and exessive.
Mizuki laughed and with a slight sarcasm he flipped his hair behind his shoulder "Why thank you~ I was rather adorable in all honesty~" he said with a wide grin as he only was kidding but then chuckled low and shook his head "No, it is not a misstake people make anymore, nor have they for about... 5-6 years~"
Hearing the word hot springs he smiles and looks almost exited "You have hot springs here~? I have never been to one~" he said just as they reached the creak, he nodded and a small pleased shiver ran through him "It looks great~" he said and started undressing again.

Raiden chuckles and shakes his head amused. "Well, you seem rather adorable still if I may say so~" he says it with a joking tone even if the truth is still there. "Though I'm glad to hear it doesn't happen anymore. Would have been rather awkward if it did..." he grins slightly as he finds it hard even to imagine that someone would mistake MIzuki for a woman.
Seeing the almost excited look Raiden grins some. "Not here per say, but up in the mountains about a days walk from here. It's a beautiful place with hot springs and a lovely part of forest. And there's a cosy cave as well that I usually live in. Perhaps I can show you one day~" He nods as Mizuki approves, and once he's fully undressed Raiden stretch slightly before stepping into the water. Feeling the cold of it a shiver runs through him and he sigh almost content

Mizuki let out a laugh and shook his head amused "That's something I haven't heard in a while, but thanks~" he grinned at Raiden, even thou he truly did apriciate the honesty.
"I don't think I would have found it accword, I was so used to it I didn't really think about it anymore~" he said with a carefree voice "But had I looked like this and people still made that misstake I would start to wonder weather all women here were into body building or if the whole country needed glases~" he chuckled low as he couldn't even imagine how someone would make that misstake, unless he was in animal form.
Hearing where they were Mizuki instingtivly looked towards the mountains with a curious smile "Sounds lovely~" his voice was warm, but at the suggestion he looked suprised for a moment before he nodded "Sure, I'd like that~" he said and forced himself to keep his eyes from Raidens body as he would find it impolite to stare... But as he could see the shiver in the corner of his eye his eyes were drawn to the movement and he could not deny that he rather liked what he saw.
He was not many steps behind Raiden, and so he soon slipped into the water himself, letting a small content purr as he loved the feel of the cool water.

Hearing the laugh Raiden is glad that Mizuki took it as the compliment it was meant to be. "You're weolcome~" He smiles and as Mizuki continues he can't keep from letting out a laugh. "I believe most of this county needs glasses anyway, but in this case that's beside the point..."
He sees how Mizuki looks towards the mountains he smiles. "It's behind those ones~ and to be honest I don't think many people knows about those springs either. So you don't have to worry much about others coming there..." and hearing that Mizuki would like to come along one day his smile warms. He doesn't notice how Mizuki keeps from looking at him as he steps into the water. And after the first shiver has left him he walks further out to the deepest part where the water reaches his waist. And it's about then that he hears the content purr and looks over at Mizuki. Without staring he finds himself liking what he sees very much, especially as Mizuki seems pleased with where he is. "You like it?"

Raidens smile and laugh makes his own smile grow a bit and he tilts his head a bit before letting out another laugh "Oh? Any maybe that should be a topic for another time? Or would you mind informing me now~?" he said as he was rather curious when he said it like that.
"I can imagine many would avoid a place like that... And does not look easy to get there, even if you decide to try~" he studies the mountains but then shrugs as he figgured he could sole it later.
"I love it~" he almost purred out with a pleased grin, being completly unaware of the fact that he was watched as well.

Raiden shakes his head even though he still looks amused. "We can save that topic for another time I think. I mean, I would like to have something to talk to you about next time we meet~" he says it with a light and slightly joking tone, though he does hope that there will be another time as he finds it very relaxing to talk to Mizuki.
"It is hard to get there. Though we have the advantage of having four legs and large body frames, so that makes it easier~ so there's mostly animals enjoying the springs. Especially the ones already living in the mountains."
He smiles as Mizuki purr again. "I'm glad to hear that~" he moves in a bit closer to the shore and then sits down on the bottom so that the water reaches up to his neck.

Mizuki rolls his eyes slightly but keeps a amused smile on his lips as he found the coment rather sweet "Fair enough, but next time you better not trie to burn me alive~" he said with a grin as he was not interested in making that into a habit.
Mizuki nodded understanding, and hearing what company they might have he looked rather pleased "Well that I wouldn't mind~" he walked into the deepest part and started to wash himself off, and it seemed the only part he avoided to get wet was his tail.

Raiden laughs slightly but actually has the decency to look embarrassed. "I will try my best to not try to roast you again~ I usually save that to those that threaten the pack..."
That Mizuki looks so pleased he finds himself looking at his face for just a moment longer than before as he likes that look very much. He smiles softly as the prospect of being with Mizuki at such a place suddenly seems even more appealing. Sitting where he is he just relax as he finds the cold water refreshing and his hair moves in the water around him. Seeing how Mizuki seems to keep from getting the tail wet he resist the playful urge to move over and dip it in the water. But instead he stands up just slightly and starts washing himself as well

"I greatly apriciate that~ I rather like keeping my furr white, even thou it is not the best in camouflage purpouses~" he said keeping the grin on his lips. And seeing the ebarrassed look he has to force himself from petting Raiden.
As Raiden started to wash himself Mizuki very much enjoyed the look of seeing the water over Raidens skin, he had always had a small weakness for that... But he did his best to keep the focus on getting himself clean and to finish off he moved to where the bottom hadn't been stirred up by them moving around and he got under the water completly, and when getting up again he shook his head to get the worst of the water from his hair, looking very content.

"Well, In the winter you will have a brilliant camouflage once the snow comes~" he smiles as that's the best time for his own camouflage as well.
As he wash himself Raiden doesn't notice that Mizuki is looking at him. Especially as he's made sure to look away himself and focus on getting clean. Though as he from the corner of his eyes notices how Mizuki gets under the surface he looks over and seeing him come up again and with the dripping hair he finds it harder to look away as the wet look has always been very appealing to him. But as Mizuki shakes his head Raiden looks away and he mimics what Mizuki just did and dives under the water. Though he swims slightly before he comes up and shakes most of the water off. And once done his hair clings to his body but he smiles very content as well feeling very much refreshed

"But it is a long time til winter~" he said with a smile but he couldn't help but to agree that he did blend in well at winter.
Mizuki can tell as soon as Raiden looks at him, because at the moment he he was very well aware of most things that Raiden did at the moment (weather he wanted to or not)... And so he looked back at him giving him a smile that was meant to be a normal warm smile, but as his subconsious suddenly decided to but in it turned out almost seductive...
And when seeing Raiden dive into the water his eyes followed him, to then tilt his head as he mimiced the shake.

He nods as he knows it's still a long time to go. But still he miss it as he's always preferred it when it's colder outside seeing how fur can be rather warm in the summer.
As Mizuki looks at him quicker than Raiden has the time to look away he sees the smile, and seeing how it seems more seductive than the other ones his mind starts to work in directions where it hasn't been in a long while. so as he's under water he tries to clear his mind from those thoughts. though has he comes up again and sees Mizuki look at him once he's shook the worst water off he tilts his head again and as he smiles that too turns slightly more seductive than he planned, not that he minds though. "Like what you see?" he keeps a light joking tone even though there is a slight hint of something else as well

Mizuki mimics Raidens movement and tilts his head as well, thou seeing the smile he got Mizukis tiped his head to the other side, almost seeming to study Raiden...
He let out a low chuckle and a small crooked smirk showed on his lips "And what if I do~?" he said with the same tone and took a few slow steps closer.

Seeing the smirk Raiden guess he wasn't all too far off, and as Mizuki comes closer as well his mind refuse to get back in the right direction. Instead he grins slightly as he walks up to him. "Just wanted to know if I was the only one~" he stops close to Mizuki, not close enough to actually touch but still close enough to feel his energy

Mizukis smirk seems to get a more mischiveous hint to it as Raiden comes closer, but a part of him was deeply disapointed as he stoped so far away "I suppose I should give you an anwser then~?" he said and kept the grin on his lips, still keeping his head tilted.

He chuckles slightly seeing that the smirk gets more mischievous. He keeps his own grin, as well as the small distance. At least for now. "Please do~"

Mizuki nods slow and locks eyes with Raiden "Alright~" he takes a step closer and putting his hands on Raidens hips pulling him close, keeping eyecontact the whole time before kissing him deeply.

Raiden looks back at him keeping eye contact. Feeling Mizukis hands on his hips he smirks slightly and allows for him to pull him close. And when Mizuki kiss him he answers the kiss and puts his arms around him and holds him closer. and he's very glad that he wasn't the only one thinking along these lines

Mizuki keeps the smirk on his lips as they kiss, and a small shiver goes through his body as it had been a while since he had been this close to anyone.
And as he his held closer Mizuki puts his arms around Raiden, letting out a low purr into the kiss as he very much enjoyed the taste and warmth.

Feeling the shiver run through Mizuki Raiden grins and lets his finger lightly caress up along his back chasing that shiver. He can in all honesty not remember the last time he was this close to anyone, let alone kissing anyone. And as Mizuki puts his arms around him as well Raiden deepens the kiss letting his tongue run along Mizukis bottom lip, asking for permission to slip into his mouth

Mizuki closed his eyes as he felt the caress up his back, and he let his own hands caress up Raidens sides, using his claws lightly to make it more intense. And feeling Raidens tongue against his lip he let his own tongue lightly sample Raidens, a pleased sound left him as he just before he parted his lips.

As the claws caress up along his sides it's Raidens turn to shiver and he close his eyes. And when Mizuki parts his lips Raidens tongue finds its way inside his mouth. And as the taste of Mizuki intensifies a pleased sound leaves him while his other hand caress down along Mizukis spine and moves him slightly closer as he does

Mizuki grins into the kiss as he feels Raiden shiver, thou he can't keep from purring once more as the kiss deeplens and he slips his own tongue into the kiss... And as he his moved closer he rolls his hips slightly against Raiden.

The purr sends vibrations though Raidens lips and he finds himself liking that feeling and letting his tongue dance with Mizukis he lets his teeth grace his lips. And as Mizuki rolls his hips against Raiden he lets his hand caress lower onto his ass where he lightly lets his nails scratch across the skin as he moves with him

The teeths against his lips makes Mizukis purr deepen and he kisses a bit deeper and feeling Raiden roll his hips back he let out a pleased sigh... Thou as Raidens hand moved further down he shiverd a bit and let his nails press harder against Raidens skin as he keeps caressing.

As both the purr and the kiss deepens Raiden grins and keeps it deep. Feeling the nails harder against his sides he takes a sharp breath as it stings in a very lovely way and as he exhale a pleased sound follows. The other hand that's caressed up along Mizukis back comes to the nape of his neck he rests it there letting some of Mizukis hair twine between his fingers

Mizukis ears flicks as he hears the sharp breath, trying to determine weather it was a bad one or not... But hearing the pleased sound he grinned and kept dragging his nails as hard. And feeling Raidens hand in his hair he let one of his own hands move up and he let his nails lightly trace lightly behind his ear, knowing that he himself was very sensetive around ears and tail...
He kept moving his hips against him and he felt another shiver go through him and a familiar tingle between his legs.

A shiver runs through him as Mizuki keeps dragging his nails hard along his side. And as he feels the light touch behind his ear a small moan escapes him as he moves his head just slightly against the touch. Being one of his more sensitive spots he can't help but to not react.
He too keeps moving his hips and as he feels himself reacting to the closeness and everything else he lets his hand caress Mizukis ass and he lets his finger move over his opening mostly to see if Mizuki would be okay with him taking this further.

Mizuki feels the mischiveous smirk on his lips grow as he feels Raiden shiver once more, but hearing the moan he lets his nails scratch his ear once more.
As Raiden keeps moving his hips as well Mizuki can feel both his own and Raidens body react to the closeness... And feeling how Raiden touches his opening he shivers heaily and grips Raidens hair, but he keeps the grin on his lips and pouted with his ass to let him know it was okey.

As Mizuki keeps scratching his ear another pleased sound leaves him and as he keeps his head against the touch he also deepens the kiss more.
He soon feels that Mizuki has a similar reaction as himself and he grins into the kiss. Especially as he feels him pout his ass out, then he knows they're on the same page. So without thinking more of it he takes the invitation and running his finger along the opening again he soon push a finger inside of him

Feeling the kiss deepen further Mizuki presses his hips closer to Raidens, allowing for the hand he did not use for scratching around Raidens ear to caress down along his back, tracing the lines of his body, but feeling the finger being pressed inside it's Mizukis turn to draw a sharp breath and he bites Raidens lip lightly as a low moan leaves him.

Feeling Mizuki press even closer to him he shiver slightly as his body reacts further, even more so with feeling the hand caress along his back. The hand he as by Mizukis neck starts moving down and gently trace the lines along his back. And when hearing the sharp breath Raiden smirk slightly and keeps his finger still for just a moment. Though feeling the bite Raiden lets out a matching low moan and starts moving his finger

As Raiden rected more, so did Mizuki. Especially when when he felt the hand caress down his neck as that was a very sensetive area.
Feeling how Raiden started to move his finger he moaned and let one hand grip his hair firmly... He allowed his hand to move even further down and then stroke Raiden, letting his thumb rub over the head.

Raiden can't help but to feel every reaction from Mizuki and so he lets his fingers linger slightly longer around the neck before moving downwards.
Hearing the moan his smirk turns very mischievous and while moving his finger he sets out to find Mizukis sweetspot. And feeling the firm grip of his hair he deepens the kiss while a small moan leaves him as well once Mizuki starts stroking him and he can feel that it's been much too long since he was touched like this

Mizuki shivers contently as he felt Raiden linger around his neck and he let out a soft moan...
Thou as the smirk on on Raidens lips turned mischiveous Mizuki felt his opening twitch slight as it was sosmething he found very attractive... And hearing the moan Mizuki smirked back at him and allowed for himself to pull lightly at Raidens hair and as Raiden seemed to enjoy the touch he grinned and took them both in his hand and started to stroke them together, but he only touched Raidens head... Small moans and pleased sighs left Mizuki as he felt Raiden kept moving his finger.

Feeling how Mizuki twitch around his finger he can't keep from keeping the smirk and he moves his finger more. He doesn't mind the pull to his hair and as Mizuki starts stroking them both together another small moan leaves Raiden and he push a second finger into Mizuki. The small moans and sighs that leaves him just eggs Raiden on further and he push his fingers deeper into him

As the pull of Raidens hair doesn't cause any fun reactions he lets go and instead caresses down the back of Raidens neck while letting his teeths scrape against Raidens lips as they kiss.
Feeling the second finger Mizuki shivers and he lets his nails drag just lightly along them to get a new feeling to get a new sensation... Thou as Raiden presses deeper he soon got to Mizukis sweetspot, which made Mizuki lets out a gasp before exhailing as a moan, and he could feel his knees weaken for a moment before he regained himself.

The caress down his neck gives more of a reaction as he feels the small hairs of his neck standing on edge while a small shiver runs through him. A pleased sound leaves him feeling Mizukis teeth and he lets his tongue run along his teeth and their lips.
Feeling the nails along them a deeper moan slips over his lips and as he finds Mizukis sweetspot he grins. And with the reaction he gets he keeps aiming his fingers at the same spot while he spreads them slightly more with each inwards thrust

Mizuki grins pleased at the reaction he got from Raiden, and so he drags his nails a little harder along his neck, leaving light red marks. A deep purr left Mizuki at the continued kissing, but his breath gets caught in his throath as he feels feels Raiden continuing to torment him. He shivers heavily and lets out a slightly louder moan and he moves his hand faster, letting his nails scrape lightly against him once in a while.

Raiden can feel how the nails leave marks but can't say that he minds as the pleasure from it brings a very pleased sound from his lips. Hearing how Mizukis breath gets caught in his throat Raiden can't help but to add a third finger aiming it straight at the sweetspot. And as the moans gets louder as well as the hand moving faster a low rumble bulids up in Raidens chest and a low growl leaves him as he uses one hand to remove Mizukis as he at the same time removes the fingers from inside of him, because now he can't hold back much further. So he puts his arms around Mizuki lifting him up slightly and holds him close, just to get better hold. Then he align himself and slowly he push himself all the way inside of him

Hearing the sound from Raiden Mizuki can't keep from grinning, thou as he feels the third finger he shivers heavily and he moves his hand down and digs his nails into Raidens shoulder as a low rumbeling moan left him.
Thou as Raiden pulls his fingers out Mizuki feels his knees weeken a little once again, but as he is lifted Mizuki allows for his tail to wrap around Raidens leg.
As Raiden starts to press in a deep purr leaves him and he leans his head back, arching his back a little while dragging his nails roughly down Raidens back.

Feeling the nails dig into his back Raiden lets out another moan and arch against them not minding if they break the skin just a bit. And feeling the heavy shiver he grins more.
Noticing how Mizukis knees seems to give in a bit Raiden is glad that he got a good hold and keeps him close. Feeling the tail around his leg he tense for just a second as he figures out what it is, and then he wraps his own tails around them to help keeping Mizuki close.
The purr his actions earn him brings an almost predatory smirk to his lips, especially as Mizuki leans his head back. He growls low feeling the scratch along his back and he bites down at the nape of Mizukis neck, not hard enough for it to hurt but just hard enough to be felt. And once feeling that he's all the way inside of him he shivers slightly as he moves towards more shallow water as he needs more support before he can fully let go. But keeping Mizuki close he makes sure to not slip out. So once he gets to the shore he lays them both down with legs still in the water. Again he bites Mizukis neck, harder this time, as he pulls almost all the way out before thrusting inside again fast as he doesn't want to hold back.

As Raiden arches against his nails Mizuki grins and allows for his nails to dig deeper, letting them break the skin as he rakes them down his back.
Feeling Raidens tails around them he can't keep from moving his hands down to the base of Raidens tails and caress it, letting his nails just graze him teasingly. Thou seeing the smirk on Raidens lips he freezes in his movements for half a moment before he shivers slight as that animalistic look truly turned him on.
At the growl it's Mizuki who smirks and a pleased sigh leaves him as he is bitten, thou he can't help but to wish it was harder.
But as he feels Raiden start walking while being so deep he shivers heavily... And as he is laid down he allows for his legs to release Raiden. And as he is bitten once more it draws a deep purr from him just before a louder moan leaves him when Raiden starts to move.

The teasing graze with the nails at the base of his tail makes Raiden shiver in pleasure and a sound almost like purring slips over his lips.
Feeling the shiver run thought Mizuki he grins and moves slightly more just to cause more movement inside of him. And as his legs lets go of him Raiden scratch down his sides and over his thighs parting his legs further to get more room. He then takes hold of Mizukis hips and pulls him close with each trust. The purrs as well as moans spur him on and he bites even harder, almost breaking the skin.

Mizuki grins at the reaction and before the purr has time to die out he scratches again, a little harder this time, and out along two of the tails.
Mizuki arches his legs beautifully as Raiden scratches them and he lets one leg almost wrap around Raiden once more, but he pulls up the other one and he lets out louder moans as Raiden bites harder... He lets one hand move back up along Raidens back, tracing along his priveous scratches, but reaching Raidens shoulder he grips it while letting his nails digg in, breaking the skin this time.

As the scratch gets harder the purring gets slightly louder and his tails flicks slightly under the touch.
Feeling the leg wrap around him Raiden lets one of his tails move along it and wraps lightly around his foot. And as Mizuki pulls up his other leg Raiden takes hold of it and puts it over his shoulder instead. He grins and leans down leaving bites of varying hardness along Mizukis neck. And as the skin of his shoulders break he growls low and thrusts harder trying to find his sweetspot once more while he holds on to Mizukis hips more, breaking the skin just slightly

Mizuki grins pleased as he got the reaction from Raiden, thou feeing Raidens tail wrap around his legs he caresses along the tail with his nails... And as Raiden places his other leg over his shoulder Mizuki arches his back and let out a purring moan as that along with the bites turned him on, a lot.
He let out a gasp as Raiden started to move harder, and as he does, Mizuki only digs his nails deeper and his moans grows louder as Raiden gets close to his sweet spot.

His tail keeps flicking slightly as Mizuki trails it with his nails and Raiden lets it wrap more around the leg, further up. And the purring moan that follows as Raiden moves Mizukis leg he leans down further to get closer to him, all the while he lets his lips find their way to Mizukis again and he kiss him deeply.
At the continued pressure from the nails in his back his growl turns to a deep moan and he keeps going hard, but also faster in the same direction as the louder moans he gets sounds wonderful in his ears.

Mizuki frowns a bit as Raiden leans down and he moves his hand from Raidens tail to scratch his lower back... As Raiden kept leaning down he moved his leg off of Raidens shoulder and aswerd the kiss almost hungrily, letting his fangs cut Raidens lips...
Hearing the moan Raiden let out he tightened around him and let out a purr that soon changed to a moan as Raiden kept moving as hard, and as he hits the sweetspot Mizukis back arches hard and he bites Raidens lip to the point where it breaks, mixing blood into the kiss.

Raiden shivers as Mizuki scratch his lower back and he doesn't mind that Mizuki moves his leg down. Instead he makes sure that the leg rests on his arm so he still keeps it up. And he answers the kiss as hungrily letting a pleased sound out feeling the fangs against his lip.
Feeling how Mizuki tightens around him brings a low growl from him and he thrusts harder. And with the reaction he gets from hitting the sweetspot he grins and keeps aiming hard there. He moans as his lip break as the saltiness of the blood mix with the kiss and he kiss deeper, letting his own fangs cut into Mizukis lip

Mizuki grins pleased as he feels the shiver and getting to rest the leg on Raidens arm he wraps his tail tighter around Raidens thigh as he lets the kiss grow deeper, purring into it to respond to Raidens pleased sound.
Mizuki lets out a chuckle and just for the hell of it he relaxes only to tighten up again, more this time, thou feeling the harder thrusts against his sweetspot he can feel the pleasure build up and with that his moans grow louder and he lets the hand on Raidens shoulder once more pull his hair as his back arches harder.

Feeling how the tail wraps more around his thigh Raiden grins and lets his other tail move along Mizukis. He answers the kiss deeper and feeling the purr vibrate through the kiss brings a small moan from him.
As Mizuki relax and tightens around him Raiden bites his lip hard enough to break it while he rolls his hips. Still thrusting deep he moans letting one hand leave Mizukis hip and while Mizuki arch his back he moves his hand to scratch at the base of Mizukis tail. Feeling the pleasure build up in him he leaves Mizukis lips and lets his fangs leave red marks down along his neck before he bites down hard at the nape of his neck again

Mizuki shivers pleased as he feels the tail move over his own, and as the kiss grows deeper he feels himself get more greedy, espeially as he was getting closer to the edge.
Mizuki lets out a small gasp as he feels his lip break and he pulls Raidens hair a little harder and he can feel a purr underneath his moans as Raiden keeps thrusting.
Feeling the scratch at the base of his tail he lets out a loud moan and his back arches more "Harder~" he almost demands with a playful grin on his lips, but as he feels the fangs along his neck he moans louder and by now he was very close.

Raiden lets his tail wrap around Mizukis, letting them intertwine and move together. And with how Mizuki gets more greedy as he keeps going Raiden grins as he doesn't mind it at all. Especially as Mizuki pulls his hair harder he moans low and thrusts harder.
The loud moan together with the demand of going harder Raiden looks at him with a mischievous grin and without a word he brings his claws forth and scratch the base of Mizukis tail almost hard enough to break the skin. And as he too is getting so much loser to the edge he can't fully control it and so his other claws digs into Mizukis hip breaking the skin as his teeth does the same with Mizukis neck

Mizukis tail wraps his tail tighter around Raidens as he feels Raiden start to thrust harder, it tears a moan from his lips and he tightens around Raiden as he was close now...
The grin on Raidens lips made a small shiver go through his body and he pulled Raiden closer while letting his nails dig into his sides, and a purring moan left him as he loved the pain of his skin breaking... He stretched his neck out to feel more and kissed Raiden deeper.

Raiden lets his other tail join the two and wraps it close around Mizukis. And as Mizuki tightens around him Raiden moans deep as he too is getting closer and the added pressure brings a shiver through him.
Another moan, mixed with a low growl, leaves him when feeling the nails dig into his sides. As Mizuki stretch his neck Raiden lets his tongue run along it lightly before he bites down again and breaks the skin. And feeling how he gets closer he aims each thrust at Mizukis sweetspot wanting for him to finish first

Mizuki smiles as he feels Raidens second tail wrap around his own, he loved the feeling of it... And feeling Raiden shivering he couldn't keep from tensing up more around Raiden, so when hearing the growl he grinned pleased, but he soon moaned as well as he felt Raiden lick his neck, he spreaded his legs more and pulled them up a little with a gasp as Raiden bit him once more and his body quiverd.
Feeling Raiden angeling himself to hit his sweetspot he got closer and closer... He then arched his back hard, let out a loud moan and his whole body tensed up as he came hard.

As Mizuki again tightens around him yet another deep moan leaves Raiden and feeling how Mizuki parts his legs he grips his hip harder and moves him closer with each thrust, all to reach deeper. And feeling the body beneath him quiver he grins and drags his claws more along the base of Mizukis tail.
When Mizuki arch his back Raiden moves his hand from the tail and wraps it around his back instead holding him close as he moments later joins him and cums hard deep inside of him. An almost guttural moan leaves him as he bites Mizukis shoulder harder letting the taste of his sweet blood fill his mouth as he thrust through it all.
Once done he stills for a moment just to catch his breath before he he moves his mouth from Mizukis shoulder and kiss him deeply as he pulls out of him and lays down beside him.

Mizukis moans more frequent and more growls can be heard inbetween as Raiden changes the way he moves, his tail also whips to the side as he feels how he digs his claws in and he lets out a snarl that ends up as a dark purr.
Feeling Raiden cum as well his moan grows louder and his body tenses even more... As he was bitten he shiverd heavily and tightened even further.
Mizuki pants heavily as they both are finished, feeling Raiden kiss him he anwsers it with a shivery moan as he pulls out... Thou as Raiden lays down beside him he considers to let their tails unwrap but he keeps from doing so and instead he licks the blood from his own lips.

Raiden smiles as Mizuki answers the kiss though as he lays down beside him he breaks the kiss as the angle gets a bit difficult to work with. He doesn't mind that they keep their tails wrapped together as he finds it rather nice. And so he also puts his arm so that Mizuki can move to lay on it if he feels like it. He close his eyes for a moment and just catches his breath once more.

Mizuki remains still for a moment to catch his own breath but as soon as he had he moved his tail away and got up on his feet, he felt a little unsteady for a moment before he managed to shake it off "Look... I am gonna go, your pup will be missing you soon and before that you need to wash up if I am not misstaken... And like we both said before, I can't really come back with you." he smiled a bit as it felt awkward to stay like this "But thanks, I needed this~ And I do hope it does not have to change anything... Because I enjoy spending time with you~" he managed a more secure smile and tilted his head a bit.

As Mizuki gets up Raiden opens eyes and looks at him. A part of him is almost disappointed by the abrupt end to this as he wouldn't have minded staying like this for a while longer. But being reminded of his duties he sits up and stretch some. "You're right. I need to wash up properly before going back." he nods slightly and almost feels bad for not being able to offer Mizuki a place to stay. He gets up and smiles at him. "You're not the only one needing this~ and I fail to see that anything would change. Because I too enjoy spending time with you~" he moves his ears towards the cabin just to make sure everything is still okay back there. He then looks over at the water. "Though how about you also washing up before leaving. Perhaps that will make the walk more comfortable."

As Raiden sits up as well and agrees with him he nods slowly "Then you should~" he said and took a step back, thou as he can almost smell the guilt from Raiden he gave him a warm smile to ensure him that it was okey... And hearng that Raiden once more agreeded with him made him tilt his head slightly "Wel I am glad we could help one another then~" he said a bit jokingly, but his smile grew warm as Raide said he liked to spend time with him.
"I will be fine even if I don't I have all night to clean up~ But if you want company I wouldn't mind~" he said with a calm sincere voice.

Raiden nods and gets up stretching slightly more. He smiles at Mizuki, especially when seeing the arm smile he gets from him and somehow it does make him feel slightly better for not being able to offer Mizuki a place to sleep. And hearing the joking tone he chuckles slightly and nods. "So am I~"
He then steps into the water properly again and looks at Mizuki. "I would love some company~ and even if you don't have all night to clean up, a small refreshining is always nice~" He gets out so he has water to his waist before he hunch down to start scrubbing off some. And even though the reason is to get all the scent of sex away from himself he hopes that Mizuki won't take offence by the careful cleaning

Mizuki grins a bit as Raiden once more agrees with him once more "I wonder if it is a good thing or that you seem to agree so much with me~" he said still as joking as he steps back into the water and starts to wash off his as he gets out on deeper water "Well, I am a neko hybrid, so I tend to spend quite alot of time keeping clean, just not like this~" he said with a crooken smile.

Raiden chuckles slightly and smiles at him. "Who knows? Personally I find it nice to know I'm not completely wrong with the way I think~" He winks at him jokingly before diving under the water. He gets up to the surface a bit further out and nods hearing what Mizuki says. "Ah, I see. Well, I don't blame you for having other ways of keeping clean. I'm just glad that you're not like most cats who shy away from water~"

Mizuki blinked suprised as Raiden disapered onder water, but as he got up Mizuki crossed his arms "Oh~? And to know you are right you need someone to agree with you~?" he asked with a small teasing look and with just a few fingers splashed some water at Radien.
Mizuki lets out a laugh and shakes his head "The shape I like the most is the one of a large tiger~ Tigers rarely disaprove of water~" he said with a small grin on his lips.

Raiden chuckles slightly seeing how Mizuki cross his arms and shrugs slightly. "I already know I'm right, but it's nice to hear from others that I'm not the only one thinking that it's right~" as Mizuki splash the water on him he smiles and splash some back, though slightly more than Mizuki did.
He nods slightly and tilts his head some. "I can't say that I've ever come across many tigers, though I will take your word for it then~" He then keeps scrubbing his body a second time just to be sure that no scent will stay on him.

Mizuki draws a faked gasp as he gets water splashed on him and he shakes it of with a small huff... "Mhm, that still sounds like what I said~" he said with a grin as he did enjoy teasing him a little, but then splashed even more water on Raiden.
"No? And I thought you had tavled a lot~" he said jokingly despite knowing that where he was from there were not many tigers left in the world... But he soon pushed that thought away as it made him a bit sad.

Raiden grins hearing the gasp and tilts his head slightly. "Hrm...perhaps it does sound alike. Though I still don't think it is exactly the same~" Seeing that Mizuki grins back as well as hearing the teasing tone Raiden just keeps his own grin and shakes the splashed water off.
He chuckles slightly at the joking tone but shakes his head. "I do travel a lot, but I'm afraid tigers isn't something I've come across before. Perhaps I've traveled through the wrong places then~" he smiles some and tries to catch his own scent. As it feels clean enough he stretch out some and walks closer to Mizuki again. "I believe I'm done for the evening now, though if you still wish to clean yourself more I'd be happy to stay with you~" he smiles warm and does mean every word

"Well you will have to explain it closer at some other time then~" he said still with the small grin on his lips.
Mizuki lets out a bright laugh "You must have~ Especially as they thrive both in cold and warm weather~" he said but then tilted his head "I stayed to keep you company in the first place, so no need to consider that~" he said and walked towards the beach.

Raiden chuckles and nods some. "With pleasure~"
Hearing the bright laugh he runs his hand through his still dripping wet hair and smiles at him. "Hrm...then I most definitely must have traveled in all the wrong places. Though perhaps I can get to see your tiger shape one day~" He nods slightly as Mizuki tilts his head an nods some. "So you did, though I still wish to offer~" He also starts walking towards the beach, and when being up at dry land again he shakes off as much water as he can before pulling on his clothes. Once fully dressed he looks over at Mizuki again and smiles warm as he bows his head deep. "Until we meet again then~"
