In the land of obscurity

Starling was curled tightly amongst himself, his nose buried under his nose. He wasn't crying, but he was shaking. His mind was spinning and swirling with thoughts that got more and more overwhelming as it went by. But then...suddenly, it all stopped. For a moment he didn't know why, until another prod pushed against his cheek. His head lifted slowly, large blue eyes turning to who proded him. The largest, wet blue eyes stared up at the stranger, blinking before it dawned on him. With a gasp, he burst up onto his paws, shuffling back. Embrassment colored his face, wrinkled the skin along his nose and pinched his brows eye on his forehead. He was so...embarrased! How could he have let a stranger see him like that? How in the world could...oh, oh, this was just great. A soft laugh bubbled from his lips, his paw raising to rub at his eyes. "O-oh my, I...I-im s-sorry." He squeaked in his imperfect stutter, rubbing at his eyes as he reguarded the stranger. He wasn't that much older than he was, but he seemed...bigger? Perhaps not in size but there was something about him that felt bigger. Perhaps it was the air around him...something. He shied then, almost subconciously, shrinking into himself. His eyes kept flicking to and from the stranger, his paw returning to the earth. "I-i h-hope I...d-didn't scare y-you. I w-was, umh...r-resting!" He lied, quite terribly. The sniff at the end sure didn't help his cause. Instead he stared on, away from the stranger as he tried to tuck into himself, as if to hide from this terrible embarrassment he felt.
