Gage Wheeler walks in from out side, another dead in….he really needed to get a new informant. He opens the door and the scent of who was there filled the air. He couldn’t help but smile at how it all was coming together. He was almost in a daydream as he walked around the corner and…….slipped and fell on his ass. He looked around and held up his hand as clear goo dripped off. He looks around and sees a very large puddle in his living room. He shook his head and smiled but acted mad as he talked out loud “damn it you two, you know how hard it is to get this stuff out of hard wood floors.” He gets up slowly and makes sure not to fall again and calls a cleaning service, one that they used for the force, they always did a good job. They said they would be there shortly and be done within an hour. He hangs up and goes upstairs to change, he clasps on his collar and slicks back his hair and heads out
Serenity Terasaur had finally woken back up after a few hours of being deep in sleep by the waterfall with Tera, their kill from hours earlier still laid where they had left it. She'd shake her massive head, focusing on shifting back to human form, a painful feline like scream ripping through her throat as the shift began again, this time reversing it, bones snaped and reformed, muscles detached and reattached themselves in their normal positions, her fur slid back into her body leaving the hair atop her head, sticky and smelling funky. She'd pant, naked on all fours, catching her breath, still spasming in pain. Her ice blue gaze would travel over to her twin, she was still feline....and probably would be for a bit longer. Her stomach was in knots, aching with hunger, her body trembling weakly...she felt like she might get sick...and the scent from the mangled doe didn't help much.
Gage Wheeler made his way to the woods, not to far really, a few sprints hops jumps and you’d get there…well for them anyways. When he got to the forest he kicked off his shoes and ran, ran around. Letting the feeling of a new founding family and just energy run through him
Rhage Terasaur breathed deeply, not quite conscious yet. Sensations washed over her from a distance. The cold February air brushing against her porcelain skin as she lay where she'd shifted. She heard her sister's scream and the events of the last several hours played slowly over in her mind.
Serenity Terasaur would shiver as goosbumps spread across her chilled skin, the cold wind plus a naked body was not fun at all...it made her long for the energy to get up and crawl home and into a hot shower. Soon. She'd crawl to her sister, pressing against her side, her hands rubbing roughly over her arms to warm her up a bit, "Tera? Are you concious yet?" Her voice was rough, and she coughed a few times, spitting blood and other gross things out onto the grass to her side from their kill earlier. This didn't help her queasy stomach one bit.
Gage Wheeler wade his way though the dense woods. Running he was able to smell all the animals, plants…he let his energy flow out of him, letting him feel all the life around him….this is how his ancestors lived the land and the people….He came up to what he had called pride rock…yea another movie reference……as he moved to the end he looks down and sees two people down by the river…he crouched down and watched
Rhage Terasaur shivered as Seren's cool body pressed against her side, "...No," she murmured with a breath of sound. The scents of the kill from earlier and Seren's reaction to it had her cringing. Tera's stomach growled and she threw an arm over her face, "Remind me to kick your ass later," she grumbled, shivering as she moved her arm and blinked the world back into focus.
Serenity Terasaur would frown at her twin, pouting slightly as she would tilt her head, lifting a hand to tug at her twin's arm to move it out of her face, "Why would you kick my ass? I only shifted because you pissed me off....if you would have spoken calmly to me I wouldn't have gotten upset." She smiled at her logic, though it seemed like she might be mad, she really wasn't, it wasn't often that she could stay mad at her twin...it would take a hell of alot more than a stupid argument and a loss of control for that to happen. She'd sigh softly, shivering from the cold, "Damnit why didn't you grab some clothes before leaving? You only changed partially...now we are going to freeze our asses off literally."She'd gripe as she huddled on the ground with her arms around her lithe frame, balancing in a ball on her bare feet.
Gage Wheeler listens to the two picker amongst each other. He looks down and sees how far it is….eh not to far and plus cats always land on their feet. He jumps off the side and braces his legs for the impact as he lands with a loud thud, from the crouching position he slowly stands and looks over at the two ladies a short distance from him “ well, well…what do we have here?” his voice slight different than his normal caring tone
Rhage Terasaur pushed herself into a sit and stretched her arms over her head. It wasn't the long full body stretch that she itched for after shifting, but close enough. "I wasn't thinkin about clothes, I was thinkin about gettin you to the woods before you ate the furniture," she muttered. Despite the laggy weakness and hunger from shifting again, and the fact that she was naked, Tera hissed and spun around, getting to her feet in a low crouch at hearing the thudd behind them. She had manuvered to position herself a bit in front of Seren, and she relaxed only slightly seeing that Gage had made the noise, "Uh.. hey Gage," she grumbled.
Serenity Terasaur would scoff at her sister's fear of her eating the furniture, "Furniture does not taste good why would I eat it? I was a lioness...not stupid." She'd laugh softly, shaking her head, though the laugh would be cut short as she too spun around to face the disturbance, heedless of her naked state, a low warning hiss emitting from her lips. The hiss would stop nearly as soon as it had started when she heard her sister say hi to Gage, her blue gaze widening as she moves to stand beside her twin staring at their Rex, or soon to be Rex anyways, "Um...." Yea....not the eloquent one that's for sure.
Gage Wheeler stands with his arms crossed as he stares at the sisters” so now that we have time to ourselves…tell me what you two are capable of…” he looks at both of them and doesn’t even really care about them being nude…hell he used to be nude all the time…didn’t really bother him. His beast stalking, pacing back and forth, and at times, brushing against them, testing them
Rhage Terasaur growled softly. Some random thoughts flew through her mind that women's lib and being a female lion had their lives soooo screwed up. As his beast tested hers, Tera's cold blue gaze narrowed. She knew her twin would voice their response, so she didn't bother to as her beast hissed a warning. She didn't like to be tested and pushed... ask her nicely and she'd gladly show what she was capable of... but she didn't consider this nice. Her lioness paced protectively around the twins, hissing and spitting when his would get close to either of them.
Serenity Terasaur would echo her twin's growl with a low rumbling hiss, her own beast shoving its way between the twins and his beast, matching her twins beast step for step, always shadowing her movements with identicle ones. Seren on the other hand would blink her blue gaze now, shaking her head slightly as she reaches a hand out to grip her twin's wrist, squeezing gently to calm her, "Neither of us like being pushed or tested without permission....it isn't polite. Not to mention we would rather be clothed before having a conversation like this...and since we just shifted back not too long ago, we are achingly hungry.....that doesn't make for polite conversation." Seren would frown slightly as their beasts had a mind of their own, spitting and hissing still at his.
Gage Wheeler watches them as they join hands, and feeling their beasts work as one…so they were pair fighters….or so he thought, but he figured that is how it might be since they were twins anyways. He smirked and looked over them “well…. I thought this might be a good time to see what you two were made of, but since you two say you are hungry and need clothes…I guess we could go back ….” He spoke but his beast still brushed against them, he thought it would be a good test since they were caught off guard and well life didn’t wait for things to be fair, He looked back over his shoulder then back again…” so ladies if you wish to leave…be my guest”
Rhage Terasaur felt Seren's hand on her wrist. At the touch Ser would recognize the icey calm that Gage would see in Tera's eyes. She maintained excellent control, and that she let her lioness behave as if Gage was a threat... only showed the extent of her irritation. Both could hold their own in a fight if it came down to it, but they were obviously stronger together. Her growl rumbled across the hollow, "You've felt both our beasts, rex," she added the title not in respect, but in a more condescending manor, "what do you think we're capable of?" she sneered. Perhaps their parents hadn't been too off in their names after all... though it was rare anyone caught Rhage in anger. Despite his offer, she still felt his beast pressing... looking for a weakness, and she refused to budge.
Serenity Terasaur stood her ground as she kept her gaze on Gage, but focused on her sister's words. Her beast never wavered in her guarding of the twins. She was strong, though Rhage far surpassed her when it came to control and fighting....though Seren could hold her own as her twin's thoughts had mentioned. She'd tense slightly at Rhage's words, her crystal gaze flickering quickly to Tera to gauge what she was thinking in provoking the man, though she would quickly glance back to Gage, watching him, waiting. She didn't budge, didn't speak, she just stood there, waiting for something to happen.
Gage Wheeler grins seeing and feeling the fight within them…..good, he needed that in them. He wasn’t himself for this reason only, to test them. “ I think you two are very capable…but me thinking isn’t reality…I need to know that you two can handle your own out there…even when the world doesn’t make it fare for anyone” he took a step toward them, his beast returning to him but circled him slowly, watching the others every move
Rhage Terasaur knew her actions and tone wouldn't please Gage but she didn't particularly care. Overconfident, maybe. Spoiled, definitely. The girls were both too accustomed to respect in their lives, their parents had seen to that. Rhage rolled her eyes at his grin, the glacier blue orbs then studying his frame for any weapons she may not have noted before, "Then you have us at a distinct dis-advantage, Rex," again the title wasn't used in respect... Gage would have to prove to Tera now that he had earned it before she would use it with respect, "how do you propose we... reassure your troubled mind of our capabilities?" she asked in a disgusted voice. As he stepped closer, her beast stilled, slipping into the eerie motionlessness of a lioness on the hunt. Tera's body position changed subtly as well, her knees slightly bent and her arms held loosly at her sides... an easy position to launch into any movement and indicating an air of dominance that she hadn't really shown since arriving in Wood Bourne.
Serenity Terasaur watched the exchange between her twin and Gage, her icey blue eyes narrowed at the male, it was bad enough the girls were spoiled and had a bit of an athority problem, but he had to try and push them before they were even in his Pride...before he held command over them. This really pissed Seren off, and she tried her hardest to maintain a peaceful mind, she really didn't need another shift right now...didn't know what would happen if she let her beast control her. She trembles slightly with the effort of maintaining her beast behind her carefully built walls, though a low warning hiss would escape her lips as he moved closer to her, the hair on the back of her neck standing up, her back arching just slightly, knees bent as she mimics her twin's stance without much thought about what she was doing. Her own beast would still just in front of her, prepared if an attack was coming. Yea, the twins didn't like being pushed....not many cats did.
Gage Wheeler moves a bit closer to them and grins even more, feeling the power between them, he looks side to side” well, Tera, I would say try and hit me…both of you, but that is up to you two” him shaking out his hand as if something was on it as his pupils became thin slits
Rhage Terasaur's smile turns a bit feral and her posture changes completely. She glides a few steps closer to Gage, "Because you don't think we can?" she asked with a seemingly abrupt mood shift from irritation to genuine curiosity. The clear blue of her eyes met his, she was within touching distance now, unconcerned with her twin at her back... Granted, it had been over a year since they had done anything together... but they had fallen all too easily into the hunt earlier and Rhage figured that would transcend to their actions now. She also figured Gage was as easily distractable as any other man, and decided to use her nudity to her advantage. Long arms lifted her hands above her head and into a lazy feline stretch, and she coaxed her beast from its snippy mood to a relaxed one. She knew she'd be giving more up than she really wanted at the moment, but still she dropped her shields a little more, the earthy scent of lioness mingling with her sweet floral scent as Rhage let her beast brush against Gage.
Serenity Terasaur wouldn't change her expression much as her blue gaze watches her twin move, she recognized what she was doing, and her inner self was actually dying with laughter, though you could never tell by her face. The great thing was that this small relief of tension helped Serenity get a good grip on her emotions again, therefor she wasn't in danger of shifting for the second time today. She'd take her cue from Rhage, turning her body to fully face him now as she was standing with her side to him for the majority of their "talk", the time for modesty was over. Her pupils would dilate as her nostrils flared, taking in his scent, allowing it to help her get into character so to speak, she'd soften the line of her body, uncoiling her muscles as she stood straight, proud of her nude body, not minding showing it if. To relieve even more tightness in her muscles, the lioness would lift her arms above her head, streaching out her lithe frame, her gaze never wavering from Gage or her twin, just in case, she'd take a few steps closer, but still be out of arms length of him. She wasn't that trusting...
Gage Wheeler watches Tera move up to him, he grinned as he looked into her eyes, then over her, he appeared to be distracted by her body, but he knew this trick. Sadly it has been used on him before this moment. His eyes shifted over to Seren seeing her move up then back again “oh I think you can…but again, what I think doesn’t really matter now, it is what you can prove….I like how you two back each other up, a very formidable pair” his lips curls slightly showing a sharp canine” what will it be ladies?”
Rhage Terasaur was very definite in her actions, no hesitation or uncertainty in them whatsoever. She knew Gage would either rise to the bait, or scoff at her... either way they could play to their advantage. There were some things about being a twin that Rhage relished, and knowing that Serenity would know and counter her movements was one of those things. She knew both would have a long laugh at this later, but was pleased and impressed that Seren had slipped into the serious act as easily as she had. Rhage purred as his eyes roamed her body, but she knew immediately that he thought he had their number. Her expression of lazy seduction never wavered, but her eyes watched his and she supressed a satisfied chuckle as his eyes turned to Serenity. Never one to waste an opportunity, she spun quickly into a low round kick... the height difference would put connection at his calves if her attempt was successful.
Serenity Terasaur would positivly purr in her new found good mood, her identicle mask of sensuality never drops once as she lazily takes a few steps closer, playacting as if she were still of the seductive mind. As soon as she caught the sleightest movement from Rhage, Seren would drop into a crouch, icey blue gaze steady as she kicks off of the ground in a pounce, her right leg shooting out, foot flat in attempt to land a solid kick onto his left pec to knock him off balance. The whole time she would stay calm, she had long since set her mind to that of play....she didn't want to get worked up and shift, ruining things.
Gage Wheeler must have been a bit more distracted than he thought for when he saw the kick come around he wasn’t able to stop it in time, he looked down at the leg and tried to bring a hand up to stop it but it hit him and caused his leg to give slightly. Then as he was occupied with not trying to fall over he looked up and saw Seren coming at him. He then tried to dodge out of the way but that too had failed. The kick had knocked him back, he let the force roll him so that he tried to end up on his knees, he smiled…oh how he had missed this…he looked at both of them and rushed, his beast from within let out a deep growl as he came with a back hand to hit Tera on the side of the head
Rhage Terasaur laughed as Gage went down, thoroughly enjoying herself, she snickered as she found her center again and watched him get back to his feet. She'd completely forgotten they were naked as she crouched and braced herself for his counter attack. But she made the mistake of glancing back at Seren, and Gage's hand landed squarely. Seeing a few stars, Rhage threw an arm up to grab his hand, muttering as her other arm whipped out in a jab to his stomach.
Rhage Terasaur laughed as Gage went down, thoroughly enjoying herself, "What was that, Rex?" she snickered as she found her center again and watched him get back to his feet. She wasn't concerned about Seren... her twin could handle herself, and as it appeared... Gage was aiming for Rhage first. Her grin widened and she did a quick lunge to the side, avoiding his hand. In the same movement, she spun towards him again and into another round kick, this time aiming for the center of his abdomen as he would try and correct his balance from the missed attack. She didn't pause to look at Serenity, knowing her twin would counter her movements easily.
Serenity Terasaur would land back on the balls of her feet, rocking then catching her balance and grounding herself after the kick. She'd allow a laugh to escape her as he fell, and had to admit, that felt damn good. Her blue gaze would widen as she saw him head for Tera, moving to hit her then...miss. She wanted to jump up and down at Tera's quick movements. Calming down, Seren would watch her twin closely for her next move, and then she saw it. As Rhage went for his abdomen, Seren would take a few steps past him quickly while he was preoccupied with her twin, his focus on her, lifting her right foot and slamming her heel into the back of his left knee, attempting to make his leg buckle so he'd lose his balance yet again.
Gage Wheeler was able to see the kick coming this time as brought up an arm and blocked the kick. Then while still holding Tera’s leg he sees Seren coming up from behind as she did before.. as she brought her foot around he lifted his leg so her heel missed its mark, and with that he dropped Tera’s foot and brought a side kick up and aiming for Serens stomach
Rhage Terasaur kinda figured the same attack wouldn't work a second time but she still hissed her displeasure when Gage caught her leg. Seren's attack had him dropping Rhage's leg and she sent a silent thank you skyward for her sibling. She saw Gage's next move and lunged at him again in an attempt to help Seren out, and maybe knock him off balance again too.
Serenity Terasaur would let a low growl escape her lips as he lifts his leg away from her foot, causing her to pitch forward, right into his attacking kick to her stomach. She'd cough as she was winded from the hit, staggering back but maintaining her balance, much harder than that and she would have toppled backwards. She'd catch her breath finally and lunge at him yet again, dropping to the ground, her right leg shooting out in a sweeping motion, aiming to connect with his ankle.
Gage Wheeler sees both of their hits coming…he was getting the timing down on their movements now….he dodges out of the way of Ter’s lunge and then hops back away from the foot sweep. But he does move back to drop the heal of his foot on the middle of Serens thigh
Rhage Terasaur missed and rolled her eyes and spun back around to face Gage's back as he tried to get an attack in on Seren, "Over here Simba," she snickered as she took a small leap at his back, leg extended. Her aim was to land the kick squarely at the small of his back and knock him off balance again for Serenity to counter attack.
Serenity Terasaur wouldn't have time to worry over her missed hit, Gage was bringing his heel down on her exposed thigh. The lioness would push off the ground with her hands, rolling herself to the side while kicking her right leg out to place it in the path of both of his feet, lifting it very slightly from the ground as she lands on her side, setting him up for a fall to his face.
Gage Wheeler had his back turned to Tera, that want good, and as she kicked him he the force move him forward and he sidesteps the attack that Seren was coming at him with. He turns and spins around brings a right punch towards Tera’s face…not knowing if she will dodge or not he stops the punch an inch from her face…as his beast let out a growl and his energy flowed over them all” enough……”he looked between the two and smiled “ you two have done nicely…” he relaxed his stance so that he was non offensive…”I do hope you two arnt mad at me….but I did have to test you…”
Rhage Terasaur cheered silently when her foot landed as squarely as she'd planned. His quick spin suprised her though, and his fist would have connected had he not stopped the forward movement. Her hand shot up to his wrist though, a grin on her face, "Yes, and since we had you on your ass first I think we won?" Her beast's energy met his and showed no signs of submission. They still weren't officially part of his pride after all, she thought. She batted long dark lashes innocently and glanced towards her twin as she dropped her hand from Gage's wrist and stepped back. Adrenaline still coursed through her, masking the hunger and weariness that would come back sooner than she'd want.
Serenity Terasaur would watch all of this happen while on the ground, her last move missed again, and now he had called it over. Seren felt mixed emotions, on the one hand she was glad, she was literally drained of energy from shifting earlier and hadn't had the time to eat...he had caught them just after shifting back, so she was weary, weak, and starving. On the other hand she was pissed, she wanted to do better, only once had she gotten a passable hit in on him, and he had gotten her back with a kick to her stomach which now had a rather unflattering bruise beginning to form....she'd not be able to wear belly shirts until it healed. Rhage however had not gotten hurt at all from what Seren could see, and this kind of struck a blow to her ego...Rhage was the twin more in control, the stronger older one, and aparantly the better fighter. She wasn't mad....just...disheartened. Standing up, Seren would touch her belly gingerly, wincing only slightly then begins to brush the grass from her bare behind and hips, she'd kill for a shower right now...and warm clothes.
Gage Wheeler nods slowly and holds out his arms and gathers them up and gives them both a big hug, letting his beast mingle with their energy. He looks between them and smiles” you both did well, very well and I know you two will do very well here. In a few days we will have another moment where we can meet up and discuss your places in the Pride”
Rhage Terasaur* Yep. Adrenaline was nice and gone and she was too exhausted to care overmuch that Gage pulled them into an embrace, though she knew Seren wouldn't be overjoyed about it. Tera... and she was thinking of herself as Tera again, yawned just as her stomach growled loudly. The fine sheen of sweat that glimmered on the twins bodies had her shivering, and she only half listened to Gage, "More immediate concern. Clothes. Steak." she murmured when he'd finished speaking.
Serenity Terasaur would wince as her stomace growled ferociously, so it wasn't a bruise but hunger, she was so brainless sometimes...too weary to think straight really, though her belly was red it wouldn't bruise...what the hell was with her? Much like Tera thought, Seren wasn't excited about the hug, she barely allowed it, even squirmed a bit and broke free faster than he probably meant to let them go as he still held Tera. She'd hear his words, not caring much at this point about joining the Pride, she had other important things to do, "There needs to be an order to that...with two things added, Steak. Shower. Clothes. Bed." with that she'd turn and walk off towards the Pride house, she still hadn't started thinking of it as home yet....leaving her twin and Gage behind...she was in a surly mood and wanted to be alone for once...very odd for Seren...normally she was all about trailing after Tera. If anyone were out in the town, they'd see a naked Seren walking in the direction of the residential area, her strides wobbly but determined....she'd not notice anyone nor care what they thought of her state of undress. Upon reaching the house she would go straight in and into the kitchen, straight to the fridge to rummage around.
Gage Wheeler let the girls move free of the hug if they wanted. He looked to them and nodded”ok go you two, you have had a long night and you both had did very well, so go home and enjoy the rest of the evening”
Rhage Terasaur did move and follow her twin back to the house. If anyone thought it odd that they were roaming the town naked no one said anything. Tera was very glad to step inside the house though. While Serenity rummaged for food, she went upstairs and straight to the shower, turning it on full blast at a scalding temperature. She showered quickly and went to her room to pull on some clothes before going down to see what Seren found to eat.
Serenity Terasaur had found a bunch of steaks in the freezer, making four of them, she figured she and Rhage could easily polish off two T-Bones, about 20 ounces each....if not....there would be left overs for the following day. She'd set to cooking the steaks on the stove, too hungry to wait on grilling them. When they finished she wasted no time in ripping into the first steak, chewing it thoughtfully as she watched her twin enter the room. She'd not say anything, not needing to, Tera would know what she was feeling, so she'd merely hand a plate with two steaks on it to her before biting into her first again. If Gage walked in, Seren would play nice and toss two more steaks on for him, if not, she wouldn't bother.
Gage Wheeler watches them go and he then turns to the cave in which he slowly walked into and looked about. He let out a sigh as he knew that it would be used quite soon…..and people would be called upon
Serenity Terasaur had finally woken back up after a few hours of being deep in sleep by the waterfall with Tera, their kill from hours earlier still laid where they had left it. She'd shake her massive head, focusing on shifting back to human form, a painful feline like scream ripping through her throat as the shift began again, this time reversing it, bones snaped and reformed, muscles detached and reattached themselves in their normal positions, her fur slid back into her body leaving the hair atop her head, sticky and smelling funky. She'd pant, naked on all fours, catching her breath, still spasming in pain. Her ice blue gaze would travel over to her twin, she was still feline....and probably would be for a bit longer. Her stomach was in knots, aching with hunger, her body trembling weakly...she felt like she might get sick...and the scent from the mangled doe didn't help much.
Gage Wheeler made his way to the woods, not to far really, a few sprints hops jumps and you’d get there…well for them anyways. When he got to the forest he kicked off his shoes and ran, ran around. Letting the feeling of a new founding family and just energy run through him
Rhage Terasaur breathed deeply, not quite conscious yet. Sensations washed over her from a distance. The cold February air brushing against her porcelain skin as she lay where she'd shifted. She heard her sister's scream and the events of the last several hours played slowly over in her mind.
Serenity Terasaur would shiver as goosbumps spread across her chilled skin, the cold wind plus a naked body was not fun at all...it made her long for the energy to get up and crawl home and into a hot shower. Soon. She'd crawl to her sister, pressing against her side, her hands rubbing roughly over her arms to warm her up a bit, "Tera? Are you concious yet?" Her voice was rough, and she coughed a few times, spitting blood and other gross things out onto the grass to her side from their kill earlier. This didn't help her queasy stomach one bit.
Gage Wheeler wade his way though the dense woods. Running he was able to smell all the animals, plants…he let his energy flow out of him, letting him feel all the life around him….this is how his ancestors lived the land and the people….He came up to what he had called pride rock…yea another movie reference……as he moved to the end he looks down and sees two people down by the river…he crouched down and watched
Rhage Terasaur shivered as Seren's cool body pressed against her side, "...No," she murmured with a breath of sound. The scents of the kill from earlier and Seren's reaction to it had her cringing. Tera's stomach growled and she threw an arm over her face, "Remind me to kick your ass later," she grumbled, shivering as she moved her arm and blinked the world back into focus.
Serenity Terasaur would frown at her twin, pouting slightly as she would tilt her head, lifting a hand to tug at her twin's arm to move it out of her face, "Why would you kick my ass? I only shifted because you pissed me off....if you would have spoken calmly to me I wouldn't have gotten upset." She smiled at her logic, though it seemed like she might be mad, she really wasn't, it wasn't often that she could stay mad at her twin...it would take a hell of alot more than a stupid argument and a loss of control for that to happen. She'd sigh softly, shivering from the cold, "Damnit why didn't you grab some clothes before leaving? You only changed partially...now we are going to freeze our asses off literally."She'd gripe as she huddled on the ground with her arms around her lithe frame, balancing in a ball on her bare feet.
Gage Wheeler listens to the two picker amongst each other. He looks down and sees how far it is….eh not to far and plus cats always land on their feet. He jumps off the side and braces his legs for the impact as he lands with a loud thud, from the crouching position he slowly stands and looks over at the two ladies a short distance from him “ well, well…what do we have here?” his voice slight different than his normal caring tone
Rhage Terasaur pushed herself into a sit and stretched her arms over her head. It wasn't the long full body stretch that she itched for after shifting, but close enough. "I wasn't thinkin about clothes, I was thinkin about gettin you to the woods before you ate the furniture," she muttered.

She'd laugh softly, shaking her head, though the laugh would be cut short as she too spun around to face the disturbance, heedless of her naked state, a low warning hiss emitting from her lips. The hiss would stop nearly as soon as it had started when she heard her sister say hi to Gage, her blue gaze widening as she moves to stand beside her twin staring at their Rex, or soon to be Rex anyways, "Um...."

Gage Wheeler watches them as they join hands, and feeling their beasts work as one…so they were pair fighters….or so he thought, but he figured that is how it might be since they were twins anyways. He smirked and looked over them “well…. I thought this might be a good time to see what you two were made of, but since you two say you are hungry and need clothes…I guess we could go back ….” He spoke but his beast still brushed against them, he thought it would be a good test since they were caught off guard and well life didn’t wait for things to be fair, He looked back over his shoulder then back again…” so ladies if you wish to leave…be my guest”
Rhage Terasaur felt Seren's hand on her wrist. At the touch Ser would recognize the icey calm that Gage would see in Tera's eyes. She maintained excellent control, and that she let her lioness behave as if Gage was a threat... only showed the extent of her irritation. Both could hold their own in a fight if it came down to it, but they were obviously stronger together. Her growl rumbled across the hollow, "You've felt both our beasts, rex," she added the title not in respect, but in a more condescending manor, "what do you think we're capable of?" she sneered. Perhaps their parents hadn't been too off in their names after all... though it was rare anyone caught Rhage in anger. Despite his offer, she still felt his beast pressing... looking for a weakness, and she refused to budge.
Serenity Terasaur stood her ground as she kept her gaze on Gage, but focused on her sister's words. Her beast never wavered in her guarding of the twins. She was strong, though Rhage far surpassed her when it came to control and fighting....though Seren could hold her own as her twin's thoughts had mentioned. She'd tense slightly at Rhage's words, her crystal gaze flickering quickly to Tera to gauge what she was thinking in provoking the man, though she would quickly glance back to Gage, watching him, waiting. She didn't budge, didn't speak, she just stood there, waiting for something to happen.
Gage Wheeler grins seeing and feeling the fight within them…..good, he needed that in them. He wasn’t himself for this reason only, to test them. “ I think you two are very capable…but me thinking isn’t reality…I need to know that you two can handle your own out there…even when the world doesn’t make it fare for anyone” he took a step toward them, his beast returning to him but circled him slowly, watching the others every move
Rhage Terasaur knew her actions and tone wouldn't please Gage but she didn't particularly care. Overconfident, maybe. Spoiled, definitely. The girls were both too accustomed to respect in their lives, their parents had seen to that. Rhage rolled her eyes at his grin, the glacier blue orbs then studying his frame for any weapons she may not have noted before, "Then you have us at a distinct dis-advantage, Rex," again the title wasn't used in respect... Gage would have to prove to Tera now that he had earned it before she would use it with respect, "how do you propose we... reassure your troubled mind of our capabilities?" she asked in a disgusted voice. As he stepped closer, her beast stilled, slipping into the eerie motionlessness of a lioness on the hunt. Tera's body position changed subtly as well, her knees slightly bent and her arms held loosly at her sides... an easy position to launch into any movement and indicating an air of dominance that she hadn't really shown since arriving in Wood Bourne.
Serenity Terasaur watched the exchange between her twin and Gage, her icey blue eyes narrowed at the male, it was bad enough the girls were spoiled and had a bit of an athority problem, but he had to try and push them before they were even in his Pride...before he held command over them. This really pissed Seren off, and she tried her hardest to maintain a peaceful mind, she really didn't need another shift right now...didn't know what would happen if she let her beast control her. She trembles slightly with the effort of maintaining her beast behind her carefully built walls, though a low warning hiss would escape her lips as he moved closer to her, the hair on the back of her neck standing up, her back arching just slightly, knees bent as she mimics her twin's stance without much thought about what she was doing. Her own beast would still just in front of her, prepared if an attack was coming. Yea, the twins didn't like being pushed....not many cats did.
Gage Wheeler moves a bit closer to them and grins even more, feeling the power between them, he looks side to side” well, Tera, I would say try and hit me…both of you, but that is up to you two” him shaking out his hand as if something was on it as his pupils became thin slits
Rhage Terasaur's smile turns a bit feral and her posture changes completely. She glides a few steps closer to Gage, "Because you don't think we can?" she asked with a seemingly abrupt mood shift from irritation to genuine curiosity. The clear blue of her eyes met his, she was within touching distance now, unconcerned with her twin at her back... Granted, it had been over a year since they had done anything together... but they had fallen all too easily into the hunt earlier and Rhage figured that would transcend to their actions now. She also figured Gage was as easily distractable as any other man, and decided to use her nudity to her advantage. Long arms lifted her hands above her head and into a lazy feline stretch, and she coaxed her beast from its snippy mood to a relaxed one. She knew she'd be giving more up than she really wanted at the moment, but still she dropped her shields a little more, the earthy scent of lioness mingling with her sweet floral scent as Rhage let her beast brush against Gage.
Serenity Terasaur wouldn't change her expression much as her blue gaze watches her twin move, she recognized what she was doing, and her inner self was actually dying with laughter, though you could never tell by her face. The great thing was that this small relief of tension helped Serenity get a good grip on her emotions again, therefor she wasn't in danger of shifting for the second time today. She'd take her cue from Rhage, turning her body to fully face him now as she was standing with her side to him for the majority of their "talk", the time for modesty was over. Her pupils would dilate as her nostrils flared, taking in his scent, allowing it to help her get into character so to speak, she'd soften the line of her body, uncoiling her muscles as she stood straight, proud of her nude body, not minding showing it if. To relieve even more tightness in her muscles, the lioness would lift her arms above her head, streaching out her lithe frame, her gaze never wavering from Gage or her twin, just in case, she'd take a few steps closer, but still be out of arms length of him. She wasn't that trusting...
Gage Wheeler watches Tera move up to him, he grinned as he looked into her eyes, then over her, he appeared to be distracted by her body, but he knew this trick. Sadly it has been used on him before this moment. His eyes shifted over to Seren seeing her move up then back again “oh I think you can…but again, what I think doesn’t really matter now, it is what you can prove….I like how you two back each other up, a very formidable pair” his lips curls slightly showing a sharp canine” what will it be ladies?”
Rhage Terasaur was very definite in her actions, no hesitation or uncertainty in them whatsoever. She knew Gage would either rise to the bait, or scoff at her... either way they could play to their advantage. There were some things about being a twin that Rhage relished, and knowing that Serenity would know and counter her movements was one of those things. She knew both would have a long laugh at this later, but was pleased and impressed that Seren had slipped into the serious act as easily as she had. Rhage purred as his eyes roamed her body, but she knew immediately that he thought he had their number. Her expression of lazy seduction never wavered, but her eyes watched his and she supressed a satisfied chuckle as his eyes turned to Serenity. Never one to waste an opportunity, she spun quickly into a low round kick... the height difference would put connection at his calves if her attempt was successful.
Serenity Terasaur would positivly purr in her new found good mood, her identicle mask of sensuality never drops once as she lazily takes a few steps closer, playacting as if she were still of the seductive mind. As soon as she caught the sleightest movement from Rhage, Seren would drop into a crouch, icey blue gaze steady as she kicks off of the ground in a pounce, her right leg shooting out, foot flat in attempt to land a solid kick onto his left pec to knock him off balance. The whole time she would stay calm, she had long since set her mind to that of play....she didn't want to get worked up and shift, ruining things.
Gage Wheeler must have been a bit more distracted than he thought for when he saw the kick come around he wasn’t able to stop it in time, he looked down at the leg and tried to bring a hand up to stop it but it hit him and caused his leg to give slightly. Then as he was occupied with not trying to fall over he looked up and saw Seren coming at him. He then tried to dodge out of the way but that too had failed. The kick had knocked him back, he let the force roll him so that he tried to end up on his knees, he smiled…oh how he had missed this…he looked at both of them and rushed, his beast from within let out a deep growl as he came with a back hand to hit Tera on the side of the head
Rhage Terasaur laughed as Gage went down, thoroughly enjoying herself, she snickered as she found her center again and watched him get back to his feet. She'd completely forgotten they were naked as she crouched and braced herself for his counter attack. But she made the mistake of glancing back at Seren, and Gage's hand landed squarely. Seeing a few stars, Rhage threw an arm up to grab his hand, muttering as her other arm whipped out in a jab to his stomach.
Rhage Terasaur laughed as Gage went down, thoroughly enjoying herself, "What was that, Rex?" she snickered as she found her center again and watched him get back to his feet. She wasn't concerned about Seren... her twin could handle herself, and as it appeared... Gage was aiming for Rhage first. Her grin widened and she did a quick lunge to the side, avoiding his hand. In the same movement, she spun towards him again and into another round kick, this time aiming for the center of his abdomen as he would try and correct his balance from the missed attack. She didn't pause to look at Serenity, knowing her twin would counter her movements easily.
Serenity Terasaur would land back on the balls of her feet, rocking then catching her balance and grounding herself after the kick. She'd allow a laugh to escape her as he fell, and had to admit, that felt damn good. Her blue gaze would widen as she saw him head for Tera, moving to hit her then...miss. She wanted to jump up and down at Tera's quick movements. Calming down, Seren would watch her twin closely for her next move, and then she saw it. As Rhage went for his abdomen, Seren would take a few steps past him quickly while he was preoccupied with her twin, his focus on her, lifting her right foot and slamming her heel into the back of his left knee, attempting to make his leg buckle so he'd lose his balance yet again.
Gage Wheeler was able to see the kick coming this time as brought up an arm and blocked the kick. Then while still holding Tera’s leg he sees Seren coming up from behind as she did before.. as she brought her foot around he lifted his leg so her heel missed its mark, and with that he dropped Tera’s foot and brought a side kick up and aiming for Serens stomach
Rhage Terasaur kinda figured the same attack wouldn't work a second time but she still hissed her displeasure when Gage caught her leg. Seren's attack had him dropping Rhage's leg and she sent a silent thank you skyward for her sibling. She saw Gage's next move and lunged at him again in an attempt to help Seren out, and maybe knock him off balance again too.
Serenity Terasaur would let a low growl escape her lips as he lifts his leg away from her foot, causing her to pitch forward, right into his attacking kick to her stomach. She'd cough as she was winded from the hit, staggering back but maintaining her balance, much harder than that and she would have toppled backwards. She'd catch her breath finally and lunge at him yet again, dropping to the ground, her right leg shooting out in a sweeping motion, aiming to connect with his ankle.
Gage Wheeler sees both of their hits coming…he was getting the timing down on their movements now….he dodges out of the way of Ter’s lunge and then hops back away from the foot sweep. But he does move back to drop the heal of his foot on the middle of Serens thigh
Rhage Terasaur missed and rolled her eyes and spun back around to face Gage's back as he tried to get an attack in on Seren, "Over here Simba," she snickered as she took a small leap at his back, leg extended. Her aim was to land the kick squarely at the small of his back and knock him off balance again for Serenity to counter attack.
Serenity Terasaur wouldn't have time to worry over her missed hit, Gage was bringing his heel down on her exposed thigh. The lioness would push off the ground with her hands, rolling herself to the side while kicking her right leg out to place it in the path of both of his feet, lifting it very slightly from the ground as she lands on her side, setting him up for a fall to his face.
Gage Wheeler had his back turned to Tera, that want good, and as she kicked him he the force move him forward and he sidesteps the attack that Seren was coming at him with. He turns and spins around brings a right punch towards Tera’s face…not knowing if she will dodge or not he stops the punch an inch from her face…as his beast let out a growl and his energy flowed over them all” enough……”he looked between the two and smiled “ you two have done nicely…” he relaxed his stance so that he was non offensive…”I do hope you two arnt mad at me….but I did have to test you…”
Rhage Terasaur cheered silently when her foot landed as squarely as she'd planned. His quick spin suprised her though, and his fist would have connected had he not stopped the forward movement. Her hand shot up to his wrist though, a grin on her face, "Yes, and since we had you on your ass first I think we won?" Her beast's energy met his and showed no signs of submission. They still weren't officially part of his pride after all, she thought. She batted long dark lashes innocently and glanced towards her twin as she dropped her hand from Gage's wrist and stepped back. Adrenaline still coursed through her, masking the hunger and weariness that would come back sooner than she'd want.
Serenity Terasaur would watch all of this happen while on the ground, her last move missed again, and now he had called it over. Seren felt mixed emotions, on the one hand she was glad, she was literally drained of energy from shifting earlier and hadn't had the time to eat...he had caught them just after shifting back, so she was weary, weak, and starving. On the other hand she was pissed, she wanted to do better, only once had she gotten a passable hit in on him, and he had gotten her back with a kick to her stomach which now had a rather unflattering bruise beginning to form....she'd not be able to wear belly shirts until it healed. Rhage however had not gotten hurt at all from what Seren could see, and this kind of struck a blow to her ego...Rhage was the twin more in control, the stronger older one, and aparantly the better fighter. She wasn't mad....just...disheartened. Standing up, Seren would touch her belly gingerly, wincing only slightly then begins to brush the grass from her bare behind and hips, she'd kill for a shower right now...and warm clothes.
Gage Wheeler nods slowly and holds out his arms and gathers them up and gives them both a big hug, letting his beast mingle with their energy. He looks between them and smiles” you both did well, very well and I know you two will do very well here. In a few days we will have another moment where we can meet up and discuss your places in the Pride”
Rhage Terasaur* Yep. Adrenaline was nice and gone and she was too exhausted to care overmuch that Gage pulled them into an embrace, though she knew Seren wouldn't be overjoyed about it. Tera... and she was thinking of herself as Tera again, yawned just as her stomach growled loudly. The fine sheen of sweat that glimmered on the twins bodies had her shivering, and she only half listened to Gage, "More immediate concern. Clothes. Steak." she murmured when he'd finished speaking.
Serenity Terasaur would wince as her stomace growled ferociously, so it wasn't a bruise but hunger, she was so brainless sometimes...too weary to think straight really, though her belly was red it wouldn't bruise...what the hell was with her? Much like Tera thought, Seren wasn't excited about the hug, she barely allowed it, even squirmed a bit and broke free faster than he probably meant to let them go as he still held Tera. She'd hear his words, not caring much at this point about joining the Pride, she had other important things to do, "There needs to be an order to that...with two things added, Steak. Shower. Clothes. Bed." with that she'd turn and walk off towards the Pride house, she still hadn't started thinking of it as home yet....leaving her twin and Gage behind...she was in a surly mood and wanted to be alone for once...very odd for Seren...normally she was all about trailing after Tera. If anyone were out in the town, they'd see a naked Seren walking in the direction of the residential area, her strides wobbly but determined....she'd not notice anyone nor care what they thought of her state of undress. Upon reaching the house she would go straight in and into the kitchen, straight to the fridge to rummage around.
Gage Wheeler let the girls move free of the hug if they wanted. He looked to them and nodded”ok go you two, you have had a long night and you both had did very well, so go home and enjoy the rest of the evening”
Rhage Terasaur did move and follow her twin back to the house. If anyone thought it odd that they were roaming the town naked no one said anything. Tera was very glad to step inside the house though. While Serenity rummaged for food, she went upstairs and straight to the shower, turning it on full blast at a scalding temperature. She showered quickly and went to her room to pull on some clothes before going down to see what Seren found to eat.
Serenity Terasaur had found a bunch of steaks in the freezer, making four of them, she figured she and Rhage could easily polish off two T-Bones, about 20 ounces each....if not....there would be left overs for the following day. She'd set to cooking the steaks on the stove, too hungry to wait on grilling them. When they finished she wasted no time in ripping into the first steak, chewing it thoughtfully as she watched her twin enter the room. She'd not say anything, not needing to, Tera would know what she was feeling, so she'd merely hand a plate with two steaks on it to her before biting into her first again. If Gage walked in, Seren would play nice and toss two more steaks on for him, if not, she wouldn't bother.
Gage Wheeler watches them go and he then turns to the cave in which he slowly walked into and looked about. He let out a sigh as he knew that it would be used quite soon…..and people would be called upon
