She looked then her ears went down since her den wasn't choosen but she took it. Blackember smiled and her tail wagged she couldn't be a sore loser it was fine Aries den was choosen, she wasn't much when it came to finding things.
"Condrats Aries, it's fine I'm not good at finding things.."
The black fae sighed lightly then her tail slowed down until it stopped. She then went back up the hill to the den she found and she got inside laying down turning her back to the door of the den.

Fyre Spirit frowned, suddenly remorseful of his decision. It was the logical one, but maybe he should have put it more kindly? He sighed and said over his shoulder to Aries as he trotted out of the den, "I have to make this right." Then, to her at least, he was gone.
As he walked down the path he pinned his ears back a bit, every footfall slow and deliberate since he had now become annoyed with himself. When he reached the mouth of her cave, Blackember's, the favored fae he had just disappointed, he lifted his head slightly and brought his ears forward once more. He paced inside and lowered his head to her level.
"Blackember, you are vey good at finding things. Both dens are wonderful, but I had to choose. Your find is very beautiful and peaceful, but..." he sighed a bit, unsure of what to say next, After a moments pause he continued. "I'm sure that as our pack grows, we will find uses for both. Aries' cave is the most secure, but yours is the most peaceful, closest to the water and the trees. There are advantages to this as well. After all, the higher cave would prove quite treacherous in the winter."
Finally, he stopped. He wasn't sure he was doing any good with his explanation. He sighed again and lay down, placing his head on his paws and looking up at her with soft, remorseful eyes. He gave his tail a slight wave, doing everything he could to look harmless and friendly. "I've wronged you, haven't I?"

She looked around her empty den then perked up her ears and head when she heard something. Blackember looked seeing it was her alpha then she smiled weakly then it was wiped off her face once he started talking. It made her feel worse but then again it was a bit bad to be by the trees and water during the winter.
"No...it's fine...I'm used to this...I'm not very good with alot of things....once reason I left my first pack...I have no special skills...."
The black fae then looked down after saying that looking at her paws as she moved them a bit. She sighed heavily then looked to the side with her tail wrapped around her and using it kind of like a pillow with her sad look.

Aries
Aries ran to the other den and sighed as she got there. "It is a lovely place Blackember." She said and turned back toward her den. "If you two want this den I can watch the land from mine." Then she raced back toward her den and climbed back up, prepared for a long night of watching.

Her eyes went a bit wide after listening to Aries, she made it sound like they were mates. If she were human her fae would be a bright red, she smirked a bit then giggled lightly, looking to her alpha for a mintue then looking up to see Aries gone she sighed lightly looking back to Fyre not looking away this time.

Aries
Aries sat upon the ledge in front of her den watching all the land around their home. Only once did she leap from her pedestal and curse her injured ankle as she chased another out of their territory. Then she climbed back up and rested her sore paw, watching and waiting.

Fyre snorted as Aries retreated, a bit amused by her bluntness. "Our Aries is proving to be an insistent match-maker, don't you think? But she might be on to something. I think your den is the greatest comfort to a wolf, closed in by the trees with the stream singing nearby. I think we should compromise between the two. We can use the upper den to watch over our lands during the day, and gather here at night. Or, at least, I will have to join Aries during the day. I am the alpha, after all, and it wouldn't be right to leave all responsibilty to her."
He was grinning with this stroke of genius. It wouldn't bother him to have two dens. He liked to wander and would only feel smothered if he were obliged to always return to the same one. He hoped it would make Blackember happier as well, because she really had chosen an excellent spot.
He rose to his feet and walked forward, nuzzling her fondly when he reached her. "This way, everyone wins. It'll be just like having an extension on our living quarters. We will have an upper and lower den." He laughed and pranced a bit on his feet, looking a lot like an overgrown puppy.
It was at times like this that even he forgot what he was capable of. When he was happy or even just content, the nightmare of his past receded, and he was able to be just another wolf. His demon blood did not matter, for now he was reminded that he was entirely capable of compassion. He always had been, really, but sometimes it was easy to forget.
"Come on," he said cheerfully, his peculiar orange eyes shining with mirth, "Let's go inform Aries." He took off at a slow, playful lope, looking over his shoulder to see if Blackember would follow. He would not go any further if she didn't, for he could never leave her behind.

Aries
Aries smiled as she lay down. She was a talented matchmaker and her getting Fyre and Ember together was proving a success. She smiled to herself again and closed one eye watching the land with the other.

Blackember's eyes went wide again, matchmaker did that mean they were or were gonna become mates? and if that did that mean she was gonna be alphess? Those questions and a couple more were going through her head but even though she was a bit embarssed she was gonna ask anyway.
"Matchmaker..does that mean we're..mates?!"
The black fae got up on her feet and walked in fron of Fyre giving him a look as if to say tell me the truth. Her tail started to flick looking deep into his orbs with her dark amber ones, stuff like this she didn't want lies.

Fyre turned and gave her a dark, clever smile, his molten eyes seductive. "Perhaps," he said, "if I have my way. But it is really up to you to decide."
Then his enigmatic expression melted back to the playful look he had worn earlier. "Now, are you ever going to follow? Or shall we linger here all day..."
This last he said with that heated, intense look sifting back into his gaze, the one that said he would be perfectly happy to remain here with her for a while longer, should she wish it. But what would she say to his veiled proposal?

She went up to him then gulped wondering if she should say something about it. Blackember looked closely at him with a stren look thinking it might not be very bad if they were but she had no idea.
"Well...I wouldn't mind...if we were..."
The black fae smiled warmly then her tail started to wag looking to her alpha and wondering what he was gonna say. Maybe she had the wrong choice of words but she wouldn't know until he said something.

Fyre gave a low laugh, his expressive fire-toned eyes igniting even brighter. The grin on his face faded into a sultry smile. He walked forward slowly, his head lowered only slightly as he studied her.
"Hmmm..." he began in a low rumble, "Was that 'I wouldn't mind if we were mates?' or 'I wouldn't mind if we let Aries wait for a little while longer...'" His tone was warm and teasing, with a hint of less-than-innocent past-times lying beneath the playful words. He circled her as he spoke, winding up on her left side as he finished. He whispered the last words in her ear, then stepped forward a bit so he could trap her with his gaze. He was a very intense individual at times, one of those all-or-nothing personalities that puzzled most creatures. It was a habit of his to keep a close eye on expressions. One never knew what they would reveal.
But as he watched Blackember now, he hoped that, for once, he wouldn't see the fear or disdain that he so often encountered. And yet, if such an expression were to flicker across her pretty amber eyes, he would shift back to his role of the kind, fatherly alpha and keep all intense emotions to himself, for as long as he could, no matter what it would cost him. It was a choice he had made before, and one that cost him much. But maybe... maybe this time it would be different.
Even as he thought of this, the warmth of his gaze never faltered. He had a motto of sorts, Do what you will, come what may. He would not worry himself over possible outcomes. He would wait and see what came, no matter what that decision was. Or what it would cost him.

She had no idea what she was saying anymore so she thought it would be better if she just kept her mouth shut. Blackember looked up to him then turned away, half the stuff she said never made any sence or would confuse the crap out of others.
"Nevermind...I'm talking crazy..."
The black fae sighed heavily then went back into the den in the darkest part which was in the corner to hide herself. Her orbs shut with a few tears escaping them lucky no one was around her to see her crying like this.

Fyre Spirit felt his perpetually weighted heart plummet at her words. Never mind...I'm talking crazy... He had watched her retreat to the den, frozen in place by the weight of that cruel blow.
So she had never cared for him at all. It had all been for nothing.
He turned and walked silently up the treacherous slope that led to Aries den. It was where he had been heading before Blackember's dismissive words had rendered his heart. It was where he would go now. It was still his responsibility to watch over his lands. Even after all emotion had died within him, he could accomplish this much.
"Hello, Aries," He said as he walked into the den, infusing his voice with so much good humor that he could have fooled anyone. But his expressive eyes were flat, almost glassy, and his step dragged. Fyre did not notice this though, and it seemed to him that he was putting up a flawless cheerful front. "Has the tedium of this chore sucked all the life out of you yet?" Fyre winced a bit at his phrasing. At any other time he would have thought the exaggertion funny, clever. Now it just seemed to bare his soul and all it's anguish.

she had tears going down her maw now, why did she even borther coming to this pack or anyone for that matter. Just losing something with the alpha made it clear, she shouldn't stay, if Fyre and Aries would to get together it would kill her to watch knowing she had her chance but blew it. Blackember got up shaking out her pelt and running off to the border of the pack terra.
"So...this is how it ends...just like it did before...always happening to me...my ember will now soon go out..."
The black fae still had a few tears coming from her eyes and flowing down her cheeks, past her maw to the ground. Her tail between her legs and her ears down, she couldn't take anymore heart break she stood there for a few mintues to see if they would notice and even care she was gone before she left the pack grounds.
