The night time had fallen onto the island as many of the inhabitants were getting ready to lay down for the night with many making their way to their groves and dens they called home. But many were out using the darkness as their time to frolic and with it being that time of the year of looking for mates for most, in which a particular cryolophosaurus by the name of Canelo and his luck hadn’t been so good for the first bit as he couldn’t hold any females interest but tonight was different for the young male as he was being trailed by a possible suitor he just didn’t know it yet.

In a open area Canelo had found a small pond and was practicing moving his crest around in motions as he picked up various sticks and placing them around the small pond as he make clacks and shook out his body before stepping back and looking at the stick he placed fell which made his efforts low in his own head. 

“Oh come on this isn’t going to work or look good for any females” he mumbled to himself before sitting down on the ground and letting out a sigh as he stared at the water. Not aware of the eyes that gazed upon him with curiosity, the figure stayed hidden as she watched the pale cryo who was near the water. As Canelo kept staring at the water letting out a annoyed sigh and looked at his reflection as he talked to himself “I’ll never get a mate at this rate, why can’t I impress anyone” He said before jolting his head up at the sound of movement behind him which caused him to get to his feet quickly and speaking.

“Who’s there c..come out, i won’t hurt you” he added before seeing the much smaller figure come into the moonlight her cream scales glowing followed by her aqua eyes. Canelo froze as he watched her lean down to take a drink from the pond, it was a female known as Brioche and she had been watching Canelo for awhile amused by his efforts to build with the sticks.

“What’s your name.. I’m. i’m Canelo, how long have you been watching me” he added before taking a big gulp at her presence. The female let out a small chuckle before approaching him slightly with her head tilted “ My name is Brioche , I have just been watching you build or try it looked really good!” The closer she got the more intrigued she was about Canelo, now being super close to him she smiled and investigated taking in his scent as he stood there dumbfounded by her beauty and soft spoken voice.

“Oh my building , yeah I am kinda bad at that you don’t need to be nice” He said with a small chuckle as he kept his eyes on her as he spun around to follow where she was. Brioche smiled and snickered at Canelo before motioning for him to follow her as she splashed through the small pond they were at which the male was quick to follow her in the night skies as glow bugs filled the air. 

Canelo was quick to follow as he kept his eyes set on Brioche who was very quick making her way across various stones and long grass as she made sure he was still following her even if he stumbled slightly. He was breath taken by her beauty and she was giving him the time which no other cryo had done, so he couldn’t mess this up.

“Hey wait up Brioche, you're super quick!” he called out to her before tumbling down a small grassy hill from stirpping over a rock that was hidden, with a loud thump he finally came to a stop before shaking his head from the grass that had found itself stuck to him from rolling down the hill. Canelo looked around losing sight of Brioche as he got up to his feet before letting out a sigh, she was gone. With a lowered head he went to walk away before hearing rustling behind him as Brioche came down the hill rolling as she landed knocking over Canelo letting out a giggly hiss.

“Isn't this fun Canelo I love rolling down the soft grass, don’t look so down!” She said as she laughed backing up from his snout giving him a lick on his cheek quickly. Canelo was caught off guard and gave a quick smile to Brioche with returning the lick as the two giggled at each other. 

The two soon got up chasing one another as they made their way up the hill nipping at each other playfully to make sure each other could catch up. After playing for a bit Canelo led Brioche to the top of the hill as the night was at its full with the skies being dark but the stars danced around, the two sat down in the soft grass.

“Shall we watch the stars?” He asked, looking at her with a smile sitting down waiting for her answer, which the female took very quickly as she sat down beside him cuddling next to him. Canelo felt so lucky to finally get a chance with a beautiful female cryo and he was doing good so far with her, and hoped she would enjoy watching the stars together with him.

Over the next few days the two would test each other's limits with various tasks such as hunting, building a nest and working together to strengthen the bond they had made with one another. But for now all he could think of was Brioche and how beautiful she was, looking at her from head to claw not even caring about the stars they were watching. Brioche leaned into Canelo playfully as she smiled with a content sigh soon following it, she was relaxed and happy she had watched him from a distance. He seemed like a subtilable mate so far which was good for her. 

As the two continued to enjoy the night's beauties they began to give licks and nuzzles more often than before which was a good sign for the pair the bond was forming. As the night went on the two chatted back and forth to get to know each other more, talking about the past, with Brioche bringing up nest building for their future and how they would go about their hatchlings to come. 

Now bonded, the two would test each other once more and take turns hunting for one another to prove their strength and capabilities to one another. It wasn’t easy taking care of a mate in the harsh world but with teamwork it made things much easier, Canelo was happy that Brioche accepted him and he wasn’t as useless after all and he was able to impress at least one female which was a first.

Brioche gave Canelo one more lick to the snout before giving off a smile as she leaned into him curling to go to sleep, with her asleep Canelo could just watch and smile giving her a nuzzle as he laid his head down resting it beside hers and closing his eyes with his breathing becoming calm. He wondered how long she was tracking him beforehand but all he could think of was her blue eyes, that just gave off calmness and beauty when they first met. It was well worth the wait, he wasn’t sure why she had watched him and what she saw in him for a mate but he was glad that she picked him after all he was charming at least he thought so.

In the morning Canelo felt a nudge followed by Brioches laugh

“Wake up sleepy head we have to find a nesting area, this won’t do” She said calmly as she began to walk off waiting for Canelo to catch up from his sleep. She was so keen already to work on nesting which he liked and found cute , soon following behind her laughing and giving off a warm smile to his new mate. The new pair soon came into a small forested area with warm dirt and lots of brush, this was the place and it looked perfect for the pair as Brioche began looking around for the perfect spot.

“This spot is perfect Canelo, we have to start finding things for it, come on!” she hissed in excitement as she trotted over to him and nuzzled his snout, which made him smile. He had never done this before so it was a first and he was willing to learn every tip and trick he could as he followed Brioche with the pair in the next steps of their soon to come hatchlings which had both very excited as they were now starting the building of their nest where they would raise their young.

As the two got to the nest building they smiled and happily chatted with one another about their future to come.
