Teddy arrived at the little village just as the sun was setting. He was weary and irritable having been travelling for the past three days without much rest. He had to keep moving. The image of his mother's death kept replaying in his head, haunting his steps. Not his mother - the woman who had raised him and kept him from the horrors that would have befallen him the moment he had descended to the Grey. His true mother had been long dead and all of the questions of his birth died the moment the assassin slit his adoptive mother's throat.

His stomach growled, reminding him that there was more important things than memories at the moment. He called a shield around him, hiding his wings from any who would still be in the village but the precaution was of little use. No one was here. The Storm had taken all of the Blood and those that didn't perish fled into the surrounding forest. He was alone, just as he had been when his journey began.

The houses stood silent with their doors barred. Teddy walked past until he saw one that had been pried open from the outside. He paused, uncertain why he felt drawn to this particular place but his grumbling stomach pushed all thoughts of concern from his mind. He entered the dark space, his eyes adjusting to the low light as he made his way to the kitchen. It was there that he heard a sound - a rat, possibly, but it could have been larger than a simple scavaging rodent. He walked quietly, the sounds growing closer until he saw a large, dark shape in the doorway to the pantry.

He should leave, find another abandoned house that wasn't quite so occupied but that same feeling that had drawn him to the doorway kept him from turning away. Without knowing why, he cleared his throat, alerting the other to his presence.

"I wouldn't mind sleeping on a real bed again," Sam said with a pleased purring noise. A real bed without anyong trying to use him. That would be nice.

He shook his head, although there was still an amount of trepidation that he felt. "I don't mind. I would like the company."

Teddy would be lying if he said that purr didn't send shivers through him. He shrugged it off, ignoring it for the moment. It was a dangerous thing to ignore, he knew that, but he had just met Sam. The last thing he wanted to do was to frighten him off.

"Neither would I," Teddy said, feeling a bit more tense than before. Having an extra set of eyes should have put him at ease. One night with Sam wouldn't hurt. He could control whatever this urge was, for he refused to call it rut.

Probably lucky. Sam is more than a little self-conscious about his race. He's been in Terreille for far too long. He knows that he's different, a curiosity. That was why he'd been dragged here after all. Something like that was liable to make him bolt.

He flashes a shy smile and vanishes a share of the food that they'd found before brushing past Teddy and back into the kitchen.

When Sam brushes past him the urge to reach out and press him against the nearest surface with his lips on Sam's own was almost too strong to resist. He catches his breath, knowing that the temperature in the room just increased slightly. Mother Night, did he have to do this now?

He backs away slowly, putting space between himself and Sam. It's against every instinct he has but he can't force himself on someone he's just met. "Maybe... maybe this isn't such a good idea," he says out loud, doing his best to keep the tone of his voice from dropping. "I... shouldn't be around others right now."

There's suddenly a flush of warmth through the room, and Sam stops dead in the doorway. He frowns, wrinkling his nose. There's a scent in the air, something dangerous and warm.

Sam turns back to the other male, curious. "You just said that we should share. Why are you changing your mind?" It made him a little suspicious. He was wary about it. Did he know something that Sam didn't?

He was fighting the urge to stalk closer to Sam, weaving strands of gray around the house to keep them enclosed. He'd only been through this once before and he'd sequestered himself in the forest. This was the first time he'd been around another person and Mother Night was it difficult to resist the desire to possess Sam.

Against his better judgement, he walked forward, his movements graceful. It was embarrassing to admit that he was quickly succumbing to the rut. "I'm not changing my mind," he replied honestly. "It's just... dangerous. I wasn't prepared for this to happen."
