LOOKING GREAT | open, companion

[center][fancypost=bgcolor=;border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt;color:black;]//just to clear up any potential confusion (although i doubt that there'll be any), chase has reunited with his old raven companion, link, and it's all nice and stuff because he missed his bird friendo

Chase had been taking a peaceful stroll in the rightly dubbed, flame fields. Even before, he had adored the various biomes that they inhabited but this one had at some point been his favourite and he was starting to feel that way about it once more. His head was lowered slightly, nose twitching as he focused on the lush vegetation surrounding him when he felt that something was off. It felt almost as if he was forgetting something. Something important. And, with almost impeccable timing, he caught the sound of a bird cawing a little way off. His gaze immediately snapped skywards, stomach churning as he felt a sense of familiarity flooding him. The feline broke into a light jog, silver triforce necklace thumping against his chest as he moved, the metal glimmering in the light and reflecting the scene before him. His eyes were fixed on the bird circling above him, ears angled against his head as he peered upwards. There was something oddly familiar about the avian creature flying above the scarlet landscape.

"Link!" the melanistic serval cried, delight dancing vibrantly within his icy crystalline gaze as he halted in his tracks. He turned his body slightly, allowing the avian being the space to be able to perch on his shoulder, turning his head to peer at the raven with a bright grin painted across his features. He had not expected to see such an old companion still around but it seemed that despite the time that had passed, the bird had still waited around for him. Chase felt a pang of guilt grip his heart at that thought though. What would have happened to the dark feathered bird if he would have died or never returned, be that a choice to not come back or a forced avoidance. The bird could have waited around for months and moths and potentially died without ever seeing Chase once more. Chase could have lost his feathered friend and the thought caused regret to seep icily into his veins, thinning his blood into a freezing stream.

"It's nice to see you still buddy. I missed you" he hummed, closing his eyes in an attempt to suppress the raging thoughts surfacing within his mind as the raven moved forwards and rubbed his beak against his forehead, the familiar interaction melting his concerns and worries away almost instantly. Of course, along with such a being, he knew that darker memories were sure to soon resurface but he knew better than to let the current bliss pass him by without even trying to move forwards. He tried his best to be positive at most, if not all, times and was not about to break that any time soon.

Chase's ears twitched slightly as he heard someone clearing their throat and he was quick to carefully turn in the direction of who was nearby. The sound of a familiar voice stating his name allowed him to quickly pick out who was talking to him and he felt himself physically relaxing. It was just one of his clanmates, and a fairly familiar one at that. That was a relief as he was not really in the mood to deal with any pesky trespassers. "Yo Tob" he hummed with a content little grin spread out across his lips as he turned his head to peer at the other feline, the raven adjusting his positioning on his shoulder. He was aware that they were actively avoiding stepping on his gemstone which he was immensely grateful for.

He certainly did not want it to crack because who knows what kind of corrupt creature he could become. Although he had not used the power of his lapis lazuli, it did not mean that he did not know that it was still there. He had not forgotten about it and would never be able to do so seeing it was a permanent trait following all of his different appearances. He thought that it quite suited his servaline form, the soft blue complimenting his charcoal black fur well. But, all of that was for another time. He felt the talons of the bird dig into his spine but he did not complain. It was a sensation that he had previously gotten used to and was not too fussed about it now. "This here is Link. He's my buddy from when I used to live in Colouredclan months ago." the male explained with a slight nod towards the avian creature whom was leaning forwards slightly, beady black eyes peering curiously at the feline as Chase spoke up. He noticed that it probably look a bit weird for the dark creatures to be interacting together when birds had always been seen as prey but he knew that this particular avian was much more than food. He would probably blind anyone who tried to eat him anyway. Despite seeming rather harmless, the raven was a savage when he wanted to be.
