He continued to approach the woman until suddenly she stood, ears pinned and tail tucked, and he immediately stopped in his tracks to keep from frightening her. "Mae'n iawn," he said quietly. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Hiraeth had seen this before. His own mother had lived her life in fear, and he had always striven to protect her and make her feel safe. Because of this, he immediately felt a sense of kinship and affection toward this young woman. She nodded in response to his earlier question, but based on her reaction the man could assume that she wasn't entirely alright. "Don't be afraid. If you wish for me to leave, I will." Of course Hiraeth wanted to help, but if him leaving would make her feel better, he would be more than happy to do so. |
