'Don't you dare look out your window, darling
everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on... Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone...Gone...Just close your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now! Come morning light: you and I'll be safe... and... sound...' ~Safe & Sound

The two canines darted into a small cave, carved into the side of a cliff. The sound of angry, fearsome howls called up behind them. Once silence fell the young female wolf spoke.
'Why did you do that?! How could you?!' she snarled to the beat up, tan, mutt.
'What?!' the male asked, looking back at her.
'Fight them! Protect me! How could you?! They hurt you!' she snapped, tears rimming her eyes.
'Oh..Heh, a few knicks and scratches-' he was interrupted as he laid down, wincing a bit.
'-A few?!'
He sighed: 'Aww shucks- I'm real sorry, Nikki.. I wasn't thinking-'
'-You never think...' Nikki muttered, laying down a few feet from him. 'I should've known you where a problem, when you and your friends came onto our territory.'
'You know the boys 'n me didn't mean any harm...'
'Why do you talk like that? Slow, drawn out... you have an English accent... but you can barely hear it through that southern draw?'
'I guess I've been away from home so long, my travels have took me so many places, I reckon they've rubbed off on me.' a smirk came to his face and he moved closer to her, cocking an eyebrow despite blood that ran down his cheek.
Nikki's teary light brown eyes met his of green, which glowed in the dark of the cave. She quickly looked away from him: 'Everyone was right... you are a mongrel...' she said, trying not to smirk.
'I guess so.' he yawned.
'But... who knew someone like me could ever fall in love with a mongrel..' she murrmured softly.
'Hmm? What'cha say Nikki?'
'Goodnight, Solo.' Nikki quickly responded, blushing some, at how close he had come to hearing her: despite tears still lingering in her eyes.
Solo gave a big yawn 'G'night, Nikki..'
