The White Hare

Returning A Mark

Nyxia waited patiently for her mate to return home. Finishing her book in a few hours before watching Emilia as she reads through the mature novel. The woman looked like she was ready to transform into a tomato. She never stopped reading though and that was the most entertaining thing about it for the hellhound. Watching the other woman get hot and bothered by the content Jack purchases was hilarious to her. Nyxia's ear flicks to the side when the front door to the burrow opens and shuts. 

'Finally.'

Hopping out of bed, the hellhound walks through the doorway and finds Jack walking in with a filled backpack and a fresh scroll of translation in hand. The buck looks up at her as her tail wags and then back at the entrance to their room.

"You behave while I was gone?"

"Of course I did." She couldn't stop her tail from wagging when he pulls her down to her knees for their version of a kiss. Scratching under her chin as he pulls away. Smiling at the face she makes.

"I'll never get tired of that." Her heartfire hammers in her chest with one sentence. "Alright. Now lets get puppy her reward for being a good girl~" 

"Jaaaack." She whines. Burying her face in his neck she tries to fight the glow of her heartfire spreading through her body. "Stop fucking with me..." 

Instead of capitalizing on her choice of words in order to tease her more, the buck has mercy. Grabbing her hand he leads her to the training room. Moving the ramshackle equipment out of the way as they enter. Dumping the backpack off in the doorway.

"I have a skill that I would like to try with you. It's not exactly the same as you marking me but it's pretty close. I'll know the general direction your in for a distance and you-"

"Yes!" His lover cuts him off with a unrestrained yip and a rapidly wagging tail. Jack smiles and shakes his head as he pulls up the description of [Mark Obsession] and "grabs" the screen. Turning it around to show it to her.

"For the love of Terra, read before you agree." She grumbles and all he can think is about how cute she is when she's excited. Even reading past the "bonus experience for kill" doesn't ruin her joy like he thought it would.

She agrees to be marked by the skill and Jack starts to prepare her for it. He had used the skill before for the sake of experimentation in the [Blackwater Well] while he was out. The meeting place was close to the dungeon so getting there wasn't an issue. During that time he discovered a few things. 1. The mark is made by inflicting a wound on the target, the size and location doesn't matter. 2. The one who is marked can feel more or less where he is as well. 3. He can mark multiple targets without issue but he can't tell which mark belongs to which person until he is looking right at them.

[You now bare the [Mark of Obsession]. Your bond with the {Leoporcitae Stalker} lessens the mental strain of the mark.]

The hellhound feels a weight settle on her body. While Jack looks at her she feels her heartfire stir and thunder in her chest. His hand cups her face as she stares at him. A pit forming in her stomach lightens up a bit at the soft gesture. "Okay, that's going to take a bit to get used to."

"If it ever gets too much I can-"

"I'm keeping it." She cuts him off as she puts her hands over the mark as if to keep it in place.

"Okay. Just tell me if you need a break. It's not exactly meant to be used like this." From the flush of her heartfire spreading through her body he guesses she enjoys the sensation-

The events prior to his evolution come to the forefront of his mind before he facepalms and smirks. "Pervy prey."
