Paw steps thudded quickly and swiftly on the concrete. Thuds that belonged to a canine on the run. The noise skidded to a stop. Wry eyes scanned the area, teeth clenched behind black lips. Blade lowered his muzzle, taking in the scents around him. He carefully walked into the alley way. Knife Blade lifted his head and looked around.

The brute's lips pulled back in irritation, his paws itching to do something. Blade felt reckless. And he hated it. It made him feel frustrated when he could do nothing to ease the feeling, though he'd give anything to do so. A small snarl ripped through his throat, making him shake his head and walk forward a couple yards are stop, looking around for something to do. He would run, but the concrete was rough on a dogs paws. He lowered his black nose and sniffed the ground, uninterested.

Well wasn't this a lovely day? God damn it who ever wanted to call this a lovely fuckin' day has mental issues. Why was it a horrible day? I hadn't seen Nokama in a while. Not only that but she was pregnant with my pups. I didn't know if I was pissed at her or terribly worried. She said we'd see eachother every moment possible, and with the life we live, every moment was possible.

But now some dumb ars bloke was walkin' in on my area. Jesus it never ended! I was lyin' behind a dumpster, mindin' my own buisness when in walks some doberman. I had a more sturdy figure then him, that was sure, but he had a good height compared to me. Height was nothing though. He didn't have that crazy jaw power look to him.

I stood up, stepping out of the shadows and letting out a low guttural growl. "Not a good time, mozzie." I lowered my head, baring fangs, the fur along my dorsal raising in warning.

Knife Blade's body tensed as a scent wavered by him. He raised his head, his eyes emotionless, but had a cautious edge to them. His body froze when his eyes laid on the brute that came out behind the dumpster, his body being re leaved from the shadows. Blade raised his head and stepped back a pawstep.

He lowered his eyes to, well look down at the dog, but more in a apologizing, somewhat respectful manner while keeping his own dignity. He contained a snort as the dog spoke to him. He gave a slight nod of his head, his way of apologizing.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here," Blade's quiet, cold voice echoed strangely off the walls around them. He kept his eyes trained on the dog, he knew he may have the chance to get away if the dog decided to attack, if it didn't get a hold of him first. But, he didn't want to take chances.

My aggressive posture wavered, and I narrowed my eyes, a bit confused at whatever "signals" i was getting from the brute. I tilted my head, and let out a low huff, then raised my head an increment and stepped towards him. I sighed then, "How 'bout this, I don't attack if you don't, and you're free to stay." I glanced behind him, then stepped back towards my spot and let my hackles smooth over, but in no way did I relax.

Surely, I wasn't expecting the bloke to apologize for "intrusion". Maybe I was getting duped, or the guy was just different despite his size and possible skill. I tilted my head again, then smirked.

Blade watched the pit. He held the smirk from his maw as the dog tilted his head in confusion. He raised his head, ready to step back if the brute decided to attack. He stopped when the dog sighed.

'How 'bout this, I don't attack if you don't, and you're free to stay.'

He felt the glance warm his pelt, Blade meeting it blankly. He gave a little nod of agreement. He watched the dog's hackles lower, but he didn't expect the brute was relaxed. The brute watched as he tilted his head and smirked. His eyes narrowed slightly, barely noticeable. Many dogs would think in hostility, or calculation in this type of situation, but he merely did it to keep confusion flickering over his maw.

I kept my eyes steady on him, then finally sat down awkwardly. My rump wasn't touching the ground, I was prepared for the worst. Always was. I hadn't fought in a long while, too. Part of me ached to lunge at the brute, but another part told me to just sit and wait. Then I got an idea. I wouldn't necessarily fight with him, but maybe... rough house? I guess that could have been the term. I hadn't played with another dog really since I was a pup. No, actually... I had never played. Always was in a cage or something, and by the time I was liberated of bars, I was a grown dog. Grown dogs do not rough house.

It was sounding good though...

I sighed, then glanced around. "Aye...uh... names...names Lucifer. Call me Lucy if ya will." I smiled a bit awkwardly at him, shifting on my seat and then clearing my throat a bit. "It'd be nice to...uh... have company without any...um... hostility or such a tense...er... ambiance, for lack of a...eh... better term." In reply to him narrowing his eyes, I licked my maw and then sighed and sat down completely, relaxing myself to show I was absolutely no threat to him. Maybe, if we became friends, I could get that play fight I wanted.

Knife Blade watched him sit down, without touching the ground completely. He gazed at him curiously as he seemed to be deep in thought, memories maybe? He couldn't be for sure. He blinked his brown orbs.

His brown orbs continued silently as the brute sighed and glanced around. He pricked his ears as the dog began to speak. He gave a dip of his head to the male.. Lucifer.. or Lucy, he corrected himself. He tilted his head lightly, curiously, as he continued talking. "I'm Knife Blade, but you can call me Blade," he replied, his voice normal, as normal as you'd get from him at least. He had to admit knowing names did help with the awkwardness.

Knife Blade kept his eyes trained on Lucifer, Lucy!- he corrected himself once more- to make sure the dog was being completely serious. Blade eased himself to where he sat down on the concrete. His stud of a tail, flicked back and forth a few times lazily. He shifted his weight from one side to other awkwardly. He was not a dog to talk to other strays, and by the sounds and looks of it Lucy wasn't either.

As Blade watched Lucy curiously, he began to find himself noticing many things about the brute, He began to notice all the colors in the male's coat, ripped ears, battle scarred body. Blade wasn't that stupid, he could tell the pit had a lot of fighting in his past. But, he wouldn't be able to say he didn't have a few bite marks here and there, if he did say it, he'd be lying. But, most of them came from other strays, rather than anything to brutal.

I had to give the guy props, he didn't look at me like I was a complete wacko for trying out conversation. And, he even gave me a name in return. I smiled, hoping it was as friendly looking as it felt to me. "Well then, pleasure to meet ya, Blade!" I let my tail wag once or twice, calming myself farther to lay down. Another sign, I hope he caught it, that I in no means wanted to fight. Atleast, not that kind of fight, or right now.

Blade seemed like a fight dog, but there weren't a lot of Dobies in the fighting ring. And I'd seen all those dogs. Hell, I'd felt their blood. A Doberman was never a fighting dog in my eyes. They always seemed to be the guarding type standing around those mansions or whatever. A Dobie in a ring, atleast where I came from, was a very rare sight. So rare, it just never happened.

That got my thinking... what kind of experience did Blade have? I mean, obviously any stray has to defend ones territory or food, and this guy was no exception from the looks of his (few and far between) scars. If he did have quite the amount of experience as I did, another thought crossed my mind, would I get that puppy rassle I wanted? Could we even be capable of such controled play fighting? God I hoped so. I didn't want to hurt the bloke, but man did I wanna wrestle.

And I can't go picking fights on the street.

Maybe we should go do something more then just lying here thinking of more awkward conversation pieces. I smiled at him, then stood up and let my tail wag a bit again. "'Ey, ya wanna go get a bit to eat er somethin'?"

Blade watched as the awkward male smiled, he couldn't help but to give his crooked grin of his own. He held back a chuckle of amusement. He liked the dog, something about him made him at ease once you got passed the awkwardness, rivalry, and self defense. "Pleasures all mine," Blade replied, letting a light chuckle escape his maw.

The brute felt the itch of recklessness back in his paws. He shifted his weight, trying to not make the uncomfortable feeling noticeable. No stray wanted to be around a dog when it's reckless, but I can see why, Blade mused. He got reckless often, causing him to be frustrated, making dogs around him escape while they could.

Blade's ear twitched. He watched Lucy curiously. The dog seemed to be in thought, but Blade couldn't tell, which happened to make him a bit more curious then he'd normally be, or maybe, it happened to be the fact Blade had taken a liking to Lucy, which is rare to him. He watched as the pit smiled, stood up and wagged his tail. Instead of standing up as well, Blade blinked in slight surprise.

'Ey, ya wanna go get a bit to eat er somethin'?'

"Sounds like a good idea to me, I could use something in my system," Blade answered, almost enthusiastically. He pulled himself up to his paws. His russet feet seemed to barely touch the ground as he shifted his paws, weight from one foot to the next.

I felt my tail wag more, and I nodded. "Sweet!" I bounded from my spot past him towards the alley exit. I stopped at the mouth, leaning out and looking around, ears perked and tail stiff. I narrowed my eyes, sniffing the air, then looking back towards him. "I don't feel dumpster-ey today... how's huntin' sound? Rabbit's good fresh." I grinned, turning towards him and nearly felt like dancing. So far, he was a really cool guy, atleast as far as I could see.

He seemed restless, I could see him shifting his weight here and there awkwardly. In reply I paused, tilting my head curiously. "Er... somethin' wrong?" I really hoped I hadn't bound into this friendship to quickly for the guy. I had a tendency to do that sometimes, just leap into things. "If ya wanna just... not hang out er whatever, that's cool too." I smiled encouragingly, hoping he would say it was all good.

Blade held a chuckle, he couldn't help but find Lucy's enthusiasm amusing. He turned around swiftly when he bolted by him. He pushed his front legs out in front of him, his chest hovering over the ground. He jumped up to where he was standing up straight on his four paws. "Anythings fine with me, I'm flexible,"

[/b] he replied, letting Lucy's excitement rub off on him.

Blade's eyes widened slightly, before he blinked. "Oh, I'm fine. I just have some pent up energy,"[/b] he said swiftly. It wasn't exactly a lie, but the whole truth would make the brute wry, it's not like you can go up to a dog and be like, 'Yeah! Sure! Oh, by the way! I get reckless a lot for no apparent reason!' Dogs would think he's insane, if they already didn't. Blade flicked his docked tail back and forth gently, trying to reassure Lucy.

I grinned, then nodded "Cool then! Let's get goin'" I laughed, turning back around and walking out of the alley. I paused, looking around again before stretching out, bowing to the street then standing back up and shaking off the sleep I had before Blade showed up. I let my tail wag more, then turned and started walking down the street, slowing down and looking back for Blade.

"I know this really good spot in the woods full of rabbits." I grinned, proud of myself for knowing such a good spot, then bounding ahead. After a moment I caught myself by surprise at how happy I felt. Excited, enthused. This was great! Man, did I feel like a pup.

Blade bounded up to where he was behind Lucy on the left. He followed his new friend's pace, keeping a little bit behind since he had no idea where they were going. But, he didn't doubt it was going to be awesome. He met Lucy's gaze, excitement a light in his brown eyes.

"Sweet!" Blade barked in enthusiasm, which amazed him. Blade jumped in slight surprise as Lucy bounded off. He sprinted after the pit bull, the ground passing under his paws. He slowed down when he arrived to Lucy's side, not wanting to pass him.

When he started following I turned to a trot, then noticed Blade caught up rather easily. I looked at him, then grinned and pushed a little faster, now a few measures under a fast jog. I raised my head, feeling a bit like an alpha and then wagging my tail quickly at that thought. I looked back at Blade, grinning more before turning down a street and continuing at that speed.

A few minutes later I slowed down, ears perking as the forest came into view. I ran up to the trees, then ducked into the brush and looked back for Blade. "Smell anything?" I barked, digging my nose down into the thick grass and left over leaves from the past autumns. I sniffed around, grimacing and looking around. "I'd make a bad bloodhound."

Blade chuckled when Lucy sped up. He stayed at his same pace. He turned down the street smoothly, catching ground as he did. Blade let himself slow down as his eyes laid on the forest. He slowed down to a walk as Lucy went under a bush. Blade lifted his nose to the air, trying to scent something in the invisible element. He shook his head gently, even though he knew Lucy couldn't see him. "Nothing," he replied. "Well, it's a good think your not one," he chuckled good-naturely. He sniffed the ground. "But, I can't say much, I'd make a bad one too," he added after lifting his head.

His body froze instantly, his nose catching a waft of rabbit. He made his paws move forward slowly as he tried to trace the trail. He let out a low growl of frustration as he lost it in some mud. He lifted his head, his brown eyes glaring into nothing.
