Shuu got Skadi’s attention. He got her in his sights, and his in hers, now he just had to ensnare her. His soft blue eye and bright violet eye shimmered at the gaze of her hueless red, rimmed with frozen tears, yet filled with such a rage. There was something enticing in that. Shuu kept his expression concerned, even though inside he felt so giddy. She was giving him attention, after all. The woman he had kept tabs on for months. Shuu refused to use the word stalker, even though that’s exactly what he was. No, he was just a connoisseur, passionate about one of the princesses of Tarben. Nothing wrong with that. ”Considering the state of my son’s tattered and lifeless body, I’d say no, I am not okay. What do you want, Shuu?” Oooo, Shuu smirked internally, but externally he saddened his expression, flattening his ears slightly at that oh so venomous tone, that he only wanted to hear more of. If that’s the only tone he could get from her, so be it. Shuu just wanted her. Needed her. Yearned for her. The soulmate tie that formed between them helped. ”So…that’s why you’re here.” Shuu let a small, sheepish smile cross his face, fading as he watched her look down and the frozen tears fall off her face. He hesitantly stepped forward about a paw’s worth. ”Perhaps you’re just in time, my life here seems to be over. My father’s new legitimate children will take the throne that would have been mine had he not taken a Queen. I just banished my mate for killing my son, and my daughter is unhappy here – she’ll likely be leaving too. Perhaps it’s time I start over, leave this place.” A wicked smile painted itself in Shuu’s mind, but his expression still remained empathetic and sad. ”I am sorry all that has happened to you, miss Skadi.” Shuu was not, at least for the son part. It was his intention to be able to claim the albino lass as his own and was willing to take extreme measures to ensure as such. He took another tentative step forward. ”You deserve better, and I’d like to give you better, if you’d let me.” He paused, stepping forward once again, hoping to now be less than three feet away, his violet and soft blue eyes attempting to meet her hueless red gaze. If close enough, and if she’d let him, he would dip his head down and try to direct her head upward to meet her beautiful eyes. ”I can treat you like the royalty you are, my queen Skadi.” He spoke softly, casting his figurative fishing line out. He hoped she’d bite. Well, she did bite, so Shuu commenced with his plan of essentially kidnapping her and claiming her as his, making her bear his children. Well, he never let her leave his side, let alone the den. Despite the size difference, with Skadi being dire and himself only being half dire, it was surprising that she hadn’t overcome him and left by now. Rather, she had been overcome with grief. Upon Skadi’s labor, she had successfully given birth to two pups, donned in shades of brown and beige, before she passed. Shuu was soon to greet her in the afterlife himself, but he needed to address the children. He gently picked up the two little girls, fluffy with coats of sienna and amaretto hues, and placed them carefully outside of the deep den. He ducked back into the darkness and he curled around the large albino, who had now become frail and thin. He sighed contently, resting his head on Skadi’s pure, white fur. At least, the part that wasn’t touched by the messy crimson blood from her birthing. He did not care much about the blood seeping into his own fur as he took his last few breaths, and happily fell into a deep, deathly sleep. Actions & Words.
