After the incident several days had gone by, all that was left was to watch the draconic being try and get the attention of his female but to his dismay, she would turn him away each time he approached her.
One day he showed up with a pile of prey that he had brought to show how capable he was only to get a cold shoulder and the snicker of the white fox that accompanied her.
"Why won't you accept any of my gifts for you?" in a sobbing like voice the draconic being complained testing if he could gain her sympathy
"I can gather prey myself" after saying so she left and walked toward the back of the mountain.
At first, he thought she left to hunt but after a couple of days of "observation" he would notice that the fox did not accompany her all the way, he would be left behind.
Another day had passed and he still could not get close to her, admitting defeat for the day he decided to return to his tribe which was situated in a high and vast mountain that was said to be once a live volcano.
Once he reached the village ground one of his buddies ran up to him greeting him with a pat on the back almost suffocating him.
"Toshiro you seem way off, what happened?"
"Sigh … I finally got my self a female but I don't think she even likes me a little, after all, I made her fall from the sky" Shaking his head to the side he made way to his cave.
Following closely his friend had a confused face, many females are not able to fly due to their inability to manifest their beast form and even so eagle, raven, and draconic tribes do not let their females ascend in the sky so easily.
So that leaves the question of what did this idiot do now…
"What did you do to that female?"
"I didn't do anything, theory" a sly smile formed in his lips
"You just said she fell from the sky, it's almost impossible for a female to have a beast form let alone that her tribe would let her fly"
"She isn't like any I've seen before she had crystallized wings on her back the shone brightly under the sun… I saw her carrying a fox" (Somewhere in the distance Bai is currently sneezing) a low growl was emitted from the thought that a fox was with his female. "I marked her and surprisingly she marked me, do you want to see Gaya?"
Gaya was left speechless by this brainless idiot, looking at him with an 'are you an idiot look' he nodded.
It was uncommon for a female to be able to mark the male. Toshiro took his shirt off and her mark was on his heart.
Given this Gaya looked u and saw a smirk in Toshiro's face "You really fell in love with her, ha~"
Toshiro patted Gaya on the back and said "I told you she was breathtaking, but it seems she is still upset about that little incident no matter what I do she does not allow me to go near her, and that … fox gwrrrrrr this is quite upsetting"
Seeing his friend struggle made Gaya feel a little better in the inside 'a little payback for all these years' "Is she always with the fox?"
"No, she always walks to a secluded part of the mountain and asks him to stay in a spot"
"Then why don't ya go there and talk or better yet allure her, you marked right? Then you are bound until you die or she abandons you" Gaya was a male who already had a female and young cubs so his credibility in Toshiro's eyes was sky-high.
"Alright, I'll do that, then what do I give her? No matter the prey I bring back she will not even take a glance at it, she's too skinny I don't know if she's eating well or not" expressing his concern to Gaya,
Toshiro made a bitter face.
"Did you try fruits? Females adore sweet flavors, at the bottom of our mountain their seems to be crimson fruit and Pyrus, I brought some to Hije and she said they were good"
…
Before Gaya could voice anything else out Toshiro had disappeared on the spot
=========
On Kazumi's side
Kazumi was lost in thought when she realized that the dragonewt had not been around for the past two days, Bai told her since her mark showed on his body she would know if he would disappear.
On that afternoon she called Bai and headed to the back of the mountain as usual
"Bai, can you wait here?"
Bai gave a nod and laid on the side, knowing that she would bathe and that he could not go in no matter how many times he asked.
Kazumi, on the other hand, made her way to the little lake that was hidden with the trees, she chose this spot to give herself treatment to prevent anyone from seeing her.
Once she was in front of the lake she spread her wings plucking a feather and enchanting it "Netsu shio" the feather turned bright red emanating heat, she threw it in the water and soon enough the entire lake heated up.
