Elyana shook her head. She knows her mate well enough by now. Full Moons, always spoiling for a fight. She stood up, brushing the clinging black jersey clean of dust and grass. She let herself be seen as she leaned down to kiss Gregor lightly on the lips. "Don't hurt the pup too bad, sugar." She looked at Elliot for just a moment before she became a black leopard once more, and climbed gracefully into the tree to perch on a branch.

The rock flies back at him, absolutely silent. Hell, it barely appeared to him before it struck at his toes. She's, at the very least, playing nice. And not bashing him in the head with it. She whispered to Gregor, still amused. "It sounds like the pup is getting mad at us. He inherited your looks, too bad he didn't inherit anything else. And he still can't lie worth a damn." Then again, most couldn't against a No Moon.

That smell. Goddess, so familiar. So many memories connected to it. She found herself leaning closer to him, scenting the air around him much like the wolf she was. She might have been able to be anything she desired, but she would always be wolf first. Instinct lifted her hand to his neck, to his jaw, her face coming closer, eyes half closed.

A touch of sweet vanilla mixed into the scent that was hers, Spicy fresh, brand new forest. No other scent mixed with hers. That in and of itself sent a message to the wolf inside him. Eyes more wolf than her own looked out from her face. After what seemed like hours, she moved her nose over his skin. Then her lips.

Lost to instinct, she memorized his skin the way it had once been in her memory. Took in his scent, the rush of his blood beneath the surface. And found no other scent but his to taint it. She gave a lick over the skin beneath her lips, and slowly sat back. Her voice had the edge of a purr, rough and low in it.

He still had the ability to stir her to the point of letting the animal inside her rule. A thing echoed in that gravelly voice. Little doubt that beast inside her lay just beneath the surface. Something still identified him as mate. She spoke low, "Does that tell you anything, Gre?" She asked him softly, the wolf gold shifting in her eyes. "I never forgot about you, even after you hurt me. I wanted to, because it did hurt. But I couldn't. I don't...know if we can go back. That girl changed when you tore her apart and left." She said quietly, meeting his eyes.

Dammit, he always could read her tone, her words and their meaning far too well. "I knew you were here, because..." She blew out a breath. Her eyes shifted downward. This would just make her sound pitiful, but lying to him was even less an option. "Because I'd looked into it, and followed your path. I'm No Moon, sugar. You know I can find anyone I'm determined to find." There that familiar petname came. She hadn't even noticed it.

That her blessings from Luna had yielded his whereabouts had been the only reason she hadn't gone mad in the years since he'd left. Everytime she'd looked, it had been with trepidation and fear that he would have fallen from her radar. That he'd be dead.

"Then more disappearances happened, and so many here, so I decided to come out here...and hope that you and I could at least work together to solve this. I'd thought you couldn't stand me, but if it saved our families that perhaps you'd relent." And she'd wanted to see him, pathetic as it was.

She turned her nose into his neck, the sense oriented creature that she was wanting to have more of that familiar scent. After a bit, her eyes stopped their tearing, that purr and his arms clearing them away. She had a bit of trouble believing that she was standing here with him. Let alone like this.

She pulled from his arms reluctantly, and yet part of her knew she had to. That part kept telling her not to try and go back to what they'd been. That girl felt like she was from a lifetime ago. Choices made had changed them. And there was no going back.

She moved away, suddenly colder for the loss of his warmth. She ignored it, hopping onto the counter. Her cinnamon colored nails tapped lightly on the surface for a moment. "So, solving the shifter murders brought you here, too? The Council gathered and they decided to send me to figure them out. Seems every clan but mine has lost people. Some of them even feared that you..." She swallowed audibly, not caring to say the rest of the words out loud. That had been a quiet driving fear.

The woman stood in black slacks and a white lace top. Peaks at the golden skin beneath the lace could be seen, but it remained fairly proper. She drank from a glass, the water crisp and cold. "I wasn't snooping about. If I had been, you never would have seen me." She told him, making a face. She tossed her dark head, setting the now empty glass in the sink.

One of her brows raised. "Best friend? Last time I saw you, that was certainly not what you were calling me. If I remember correctly, I was 'useless, irritating, plain and simpleminded.'" She retorted, a mimicry of his accent lacing her voice. It was a fairly good shot at it, considering her own voice had a slight southern accent, via Louisiana.

Her golden eyes had narrowed slightly. She wasn't an overly tall woman, only about 5'6. Built curvy and svelte, rather than delicate and slender. But it doesn't take a genius to figure out that she was likely still hurt from those words and spoiling for another argument.
