Azrael

Only Fools Walk Where Angels Fear To Tread

Were creatures were ridiculous beings. Animals. People. Whatever they were. Part animal, part human, not fully committed to either species. A veritable abomination as far as Azrael was concerned and oh how little Tobias did to improve his opinion of them in those moments in which the Leopard proceeded to circle around him. He could hardly see the spotted cat and yet every instinct within him screamed that the beast was nearby. Somewhere beneath him. Circling within that undergrowth. Azrael's golden eyes scanned the ground below for any sign of that equally golden pelt of those spotted black markings. The forest, for now, remaining decidedly silent and yet he was certain Tobias watched him all the same. Raven's insistence that she was coming was hardly fast enough. Azrael, despite himself, continued to eye the base of the tree he had taken.....a rest in......(because he's not hiding) in some measure of concern that Tobias might decide to scale it. Raven would never forgive him if he shot her damned fool of a husband and yet the idea of taking on a fully grown Amur Leopard with his bare hands was hardly appealing either. It was with a distinctly irritated grumble that Azrael settled further within the treet to wait for Raven to make the trip from wherever the hell it was she was coming from. Tobias, by some mercy, continued to stay hidden. At least until Raven finally appeared.

The sight of the grey and dark wolf was more welcomed then Azrael was content to admit. The Hunter watched from his far safer perch as Tobias at last paced from the trees to brush up agianst his mate. The pair....moving about like animals for several long moments before Raven somehow convinced the Leopard to leave. Azrael's gaze shifted to follow him as he did. The hunter unwilling to glance away from the big cat until he had disappeared into the distance. How Raven and tetradore....controlled him Azrae was sure he might never know. Nor did he suppose he found he truly cared so long as Tobias stayed away and kept his claws entirely to himself. Even so- the Leopard had never been this protective before. Especially not away from that hulking ton of steel they call a home. Hmm, maybe the other man was simply...on edge living within the forest. Azrael was nearly assured he would be the same if the situation was reversed and yet still, Tobias had seemed more...persistent then he usually was.

Those thoughts, for now, were cast readily aside as Raven called up to him. Azrael afforded the forest below a final glance before a burst of speed abruptly saw the Hunter land down beside his canine company. Raven, in the least looked....well. Maybe all the fresh air and forest had done her some good. That sudden question of Serafina however prompted a sudden shake of the elder man's head.

"Sera's fine. Im taking her to Dubai as soon as these restrictions on international travel are lifted."

Why he shared the details of his and Sera's planned holiday he hardly knew and yet in some ways he had come to almost...enjoy Raven's company and those occasional, small chats they had in between their work. The blond man's shoulders lifted into a shrug of sorts as if he hardly understood why he had shared those details himself before Raven suggested Tobias and herself hardly had too many visitors up here. The very idea of it coxed one eye to arch upwards.

"Does that really surprise you? It's literally in the middle of fucking nowhere. I've been hiking for hours. How the hell do you get to town when you need to? You don't....go like that do you?"

His head nodded toward Raven then in a vague gesture toward her canine form. Raven, surely, did not run into town as a dog did she? Then again he'd surely have had reports of it by now if she did. Even all the way out here in the fucking Bermuda Triangle or whever they were. His head shook lightly as if to dismiss the thought, his golden gaze turned down to his companion once more.

"I came looking for you. Im attending an...event tonight and I thought you might....be useful....attending and providing a Were perspective. I also don't hate your company. I suppose."

Kindness was perhaps not his....strong suit. Azrael, even now, struggling with these compliments. The mans decidedly gruff nature near painfully evident.

"Why is Tobias being so....territorial?"
