 Once the two of them had woken up, the sun had risen up towards the top of the sky, shining down and delivering a partially blistering heat that boiled along Esmeray's back as his dark fur absorbed the warmth.

 At first, it was nice, since it had been raining earlier, but now, with the sky clear and no clouds to shelter them from the heat, it was an uncomfortable feeling that made Esmeray wish he had stayed at his make-shift den, laid there with Misoka. With Misoka- God, what was he thinking?

 Sending a bashful look to the russet-furred woman, he quickly flicked his gaze back away, furrowing his brows in frustration as his muscles tensed, a slight pain coming up in his shoulder that wasn't there before. Maybe sleeping on the hard dried-dirt ground had damaged his shoulder, but he refused to be tended to, or to take a break.

 He didn't want to look weak in front of someone who was so, just, oddly alluring? Perhaps it was her flirty nature or her pelt that was opposite of his, though something.. drew him towards her. God, get it together, Esmeray.

 As the pain in his shoulder became to much for him to silently walk any longer, the man clenched his teeth before releasing a sigh that he wasn't aware of holding. Turning to face Misoka, Esmeray flicked his tail towards his shoulder before speaking.

 

"Omzum çok ağrıyor, ilaç falan biliyor musun? — My shoulder hurts a lot, do you know any medicine or something?"

 Sitting with a grunt, Esmeray turned his head away, ears flattened in a sign of embarrassment and frustration, flicking his tail impatiently. He.. was struggling with relaxing ever since he had first, well, not came to Canis, more so been brought here by some un-see-able force, but he'd been tense and not opening up as easy as he – somewhat..? – remembered.

 Maybe... maybe Misoka could help? It was hard to place so much trust into someone he barely knew, but if there was no one else out there, what else could he do?

A little long oops

Once they woke up, she didn't really say anything, not really having much to say. He didn't speak up either as they both walked. She noticed that something was up with his shoulder, but considering how he was last night, she didn't make a move to see if she could help. After a few more moments though, it seems the pain got enough for him to say something. 

For a moment, she had to hide a smile as he asked, raising an eyebrow at him. They had walked past several herbs that could help, but she spotted one not too far from them. Silently, she would walk away from him, heading to a poppy plant. She knew enough about herbs to know that this one could help but only in small quantities. 

Picking off exactly two seeds, she would lay them in front of him. "Bunları yiyin, acıyı biraz hafifletmeye yardımcı olurlar." — Eat these, they will help ease the pain a bit. She would sit and wait as he chose to either eat them or not, not really giving much of an explanation on how she knew medicine.

 The man quirked a single brow as Misoka went off to grab some flowers, well, not flowers exactly, more so their seeds, but Esmeray didn't care; He was no medic, the man would chew on a tree if it made the pain in his shoulder go away. 

 Giving a single weary look to the russet-coloured woman, Esmeray dipped his head, snapping up the seeds quickly. The seeds were sweet, an odd realisation as the charcoal man had expected a taste of soil and dirt, though it was quite pleasant. Hm. Turning to look back at his new-found companion, he dipped his head in gratitude. 
 
 

"Teşekkür ederim, çok minnettarım. Sanırım bir kökte falan uyudum, uyurken omzuma zarar vermiş olmalıyım. — Thank you, I am very grateful. I think I slept on a root or something, I must have hurt my shoulder while I was sleeping."

 

 

 Esmeray explained, flicking his ears back towards his shoulder. At least, that's what he thought had happened. Maybe it was just strained after walking such a long distance, or being summoned to Canis.
  The charcoal man couldn't be certain, though he was thankful that Misoka had helped him. It was something she didn't have to do, though the small action was noted in the back of his mind. 

 While he wanted to get back up and keep moving, Esmeray knew that it'd be better to rest, so he quickly leaped – with a bit of a struggle due to his hurt shoulder – up atop on of the boulders, flicking his tail to Misoka if she wanted to follow and sit with him.

 The boulder was low to the ground, and the man could easily hang a single paw of the edge of the stone and fiddle with the dark orange grass. It was quite a beautiful area, the colour of the grass seemed to mimic Misoka's fur, though Esmeray quickly pushed that thought away; if the grass was beautiful, did that mean her pelt was beautiful, too?

This man was really cautious about everything she did and it was close to getting on her nerves. However, she kept herself calm as she watched him eat it, thinking for a moment how easy it probably would have been to poison him. Thankfully for him though, he had given her no reason to. So, instead, she helped him. "Bir kas ya da başka bir şey çekmiş olabilirsiniz. Her iki durumda da, bu ağrıya yardımcı olmalıdır." — You may have pulled a muscle or something. Either way, that should help with the pain. 

She watched him for a moment, raising an eyebrow as he jumped up onto a boulder. Seeing his invitation, she would jump up to. Flicking her tail, she would aim to lean into him, laying herself down with her back pressed against him if he didn't move away. She enjoyed physical touch plus, he seemed confused by it so that made it even more fun. 

"Şimdi ne planlıyorsunuz?" — What are you plans now? She cocked her head to the side and she looked over her shoulder at him, her eyes curious and soft.

 Watching as Misoka leapt atop the boulder, a small smile crept up his face, and as she pushed herself into his side, he felt his heart skip another beat. God, what was this woman doing to him? The man's skin felt hot underneath his fur, though quickly he calmed down.

 What are your plans now?

 Well, Esmeray wasn't entirely sure; He wanted to stick with Misoka, get to know her more, but if she wanted to split off, he wouldn't try to stop her. Sending has gaze towards the mountains, Esmeray squinted, attempting to block out the sun from his vision.

"Bilmiyorum, ne yapmak istiyorsun? Yani, belki yapabiliriz... birlikte seyahat ederiz, ama - eğer istersen - ayrılıp birbirimizi daha sonra tekrar bulabilir miyiz? — I don't know, what do you want to do? I mean, maybe we can... travel together, but - if you want - can we leave and find each other again later?"

 Esmeray offered in a deep grumble, attempting to flick his tail across Misoka's and shuffle towards her, if she'd allow. Two could play at her game, could they not? The charcoal-furred man hid a smirk, keeping a stoic – though partially flirtatious – expression.

There certainly was something about this man that was interesting to her, something she wanted to delve deeper into and get to know more about. As he uno reversed her question back at him, she would think for a moment before shrugging. "Birlikte seyahat etmeyi umursamıyorum. Aynı noktada çok uzun süre kalmamak sizin için sorun olmadığı sürece. — I don't mind traveling together. As long as you're okay with not staying in the same spot for too long." She didn't particularly enjoy staying in one spot and prefered to wander and explore. 

Settling herself down, she smirked slightly at him, noticing that he moved towards her more. So, she cuddled into him, laying her head down on the rock with a content sigh.

 Seems they'd still travel together, and Esmeray was fine with that. With a simple nod, the man craned his neck, trying to look for the best next place to travel. Hunting would be nice, but the field of boulders probably wouldn't have enough prey to really fill them for the day.
 There seemed to be more plains, a patch that seemed golden, perhaps they could go there next.

"Tabii, benim için sorun değil. Hunt yakında istiyorsunuz? İkimizin de bütün gün yemek yediğini sanmıyorum. — Of course, that's okay with me. Want to hunt soon? I don't think either of us have eaten all day."

 With Misoka cuddling into him, Esmeray aimed to rest his tail on her own, resting his own head gently on her neck. He'd wait for her to speak up, to make a comment on his suggestion. Esmeray closed his eyes, having a small rest for now. He.. wanted to get to know Misoka a bit more, something was so.. alluring.
 Maybe she was just very hot.

Sorry about the super late reply! We can make a new thread if you want of them coming back together

The woman was content cuddling into the man, enjoying his warmth. So, when he spoke of hunting, she would think for a moment before speaking. On one hand, she was hungry and the thought of fresh meat was wonderful. However, on the other hand, she was comfy and didn't want to get up. "Avlanmayı ne kadar çok istesem de, şu anda oldukça memnunum. Belki birazcık?" — As much as I would love to hunt, I'm quite content right now. Perhaps in a little bit? She would offer him a small smile, trying to cuddle her head under his neck as if to emphasize the fact that she didn't want to get up just yet.

No worries! I'd be good with that, currently he's on his way to the tundra (all his haldis posts are forward-dated) so perhaps they can reunite in the mountains nearby?

 As much as I would love to hunt, I'm quite content right now. Perhaps in a little bit? Misoka offered as she cuddled up to Esmeray's neck. Hm, the man hummed for a few moments. He could hunt for the two of them, really, but he enjoyed the closeness of the woman. It was just them right now, in this very moment, but Esmeray was starving.

 “Eğer kalkmak istemiyorsan ikimiz için avlanabilirim,” — I can hunt for the two of us, if you don't feel like getting up Esmeray offered, beginning to push himself upwards as he spoke. “Endişeye gerek yok.” — No worries
 The man was already halfway off the rock by the time he finished speaking, half looking at Misoka, and half letting his nose follow elsewhere.

New idea, Esmeray is going to be travelling with @Izumi up north, so maybe Misoka can find them there?

The woman would sigh slightly as he moved, clearly not wanting him to, but would simply nod. She would stay silent as she watched him leave, but before long would lay her head down. As he hunted, she quickly fell asleep, curling up into herself slightly. She was content and felt safe knowing that he was around. It was odd for her to feel safe around someone she had just met, but she did.

figured we could fade here and make a new one for later!
