and the stars in their orbits shone pale through the lightof the brighter, colder moon

Nadya slowly peeled herself from the rock wall, her back scratched and bruised, matching the bites along her upper body and the handprint bruises on her hips. Her senses were coming back to her, returning logical thought which had been abandoned once Tobias had been free of grime, seeking out only to get her end of the deal in this game. She followed Tobias out from under the waterfall to the grassy bank, distracted briefly on her way by colored fabric wavering in the water. In hindsight she really should have removed the dress beforehand, the pieces churning and drifting off in the water quickly, a dismayed feeling crossing Nadya at the loss of the new dress Raven had paid for. The fact that Tobias could have just lifted the dress apparently hadn't occurred to him, far more content to have every part of her as bare as him than simply enough to achieve his release.


It was fully clear he wished her to lay beside him, his requirement for companionship in sleep not a new thing and she was quite familiar with him drifting off shortly after their coupling. The grass prickled slightly against the torn skin of her back as she lay down next to him, her side pressed against his in an ease that came from their pack bond. Her scent had all but returned to normal since it took way too much concentration to keep the allure up. At least Nadya was now sure to have some peace and not be mauled again now that Tobias felt he had won and received his 'prize'. That was why Tobias' playfulness, nipping at her ear, surprised her so much having never experienced nor expected such after attention from him without the pheromones to guide him. The same with how his kiss before took her off guard; apparently he was growing...learning beyond what was manipulated from him.


Nadya scrunched up her face when he bit her ear though hadn't the energy to scold him, instead rolling over onto her side to alleviate some of the pain from her back, draping one arm across Tobias' chest and resting her chin there a moment to look back at him. It was a rare moment indeed, one as fragile as glass, the affectionate touch odd for a duo that was usually all claws and teeth to one another. "I wouldn't know how my brother feels. He doesn't leave Syn anymore...at least not to see me." She couldn't say he didn't leave the club altogether as the last time she thought that about Tobias it had turned out he had been gallivanting about with a wolf-girl. "You still haven't told him about ..the game...right?" Honestly that was the only thing she could think of on why her brother might be mad and not coming out to see her when Tobias did. Nadya didn't have a clue that perhaps Tobias was the insistent one to Tetra to be the only one to 'check on' her.


A soft sigh escaped her delicate lips, chocolate eyes regarding Tobias carefully. "I know you do." There was really no other response to his comment. He had always been intrigued with her scent to some extent which she figured was due to the Tetradore familial bloodline more so than anything else. The pheromones only gave him something else, awakened a different part of his male brain that had been dormant before. "That's the last time we can play the..game..ok?" Now that she was gaining more control of her powers it was now a complete possibility that she would be able to hold Tobias off, even alter his reaction to her though she hoped to simply get him to accept an end to it instead of using the opposite end of her power on him. Nadya leaned up off Tobias, sitting up to rest her weight on her hand braced by his side though her attention remained fixed on him incase of any horrible upset her declaration may cause.
