A single act or many

Walk | Talk | Think

Glacier was quick to move after the little hunter assured him her fur was dry enough to begin exploring, and the soft nips he placed against her shoulder were all the prompting she needed in order to follow him to a standing position. Smiling, Anais got her paws beneath her and rose beside him, noting not for the first time how much taller he stood above her, taller than any of her brothers, even her father. But, as always, she felt no fear in being so tiny beside him, only a thrilling sense of comfort in knowing she had someone so big and strong and intimidating to watch out for her. With him at her side, she could be fearless and brave and never have to worry about any harm coming her way again.

To her great delight, her big strong protector left the decision making up to her, and her heart leaped as he referred to her as "love." It never failed to leave her with such a giddiness inside that she could barely contain her joy, but she did her best not to let it distract her from the decision at hand, though her tail did wag a little more quickly as she smiled a shy but bright smile. Hmm, what to do... Her lemon-gold eyes searched down the length of the shoreline that she could see from their perch and then shifted to glance into the trees. She had already seen a little bit of the shoreline just from landing on it when they had arrived from the mainland. And they had been waiting to dry so that the shadowy forest did not chill her to the bone...

"Let's go into the forest," she decided with animated confidence, turning her head to smile up into Glacier's face as she leaned in to press her shoulder to his. "It shouldn't be too cold now since we're dry." In her excitement she fidgeted a bit on her feet and shifted just slightly away from him, indicating her readiness to begin their island exploration.
