Anthem of the Lonely
His voice was gentle as he responded to her, though she was still very much frightened, the sight of the pair staying where they were while gently coaxing her did well to somewhat soothe some of her fears. Her ears slightly perked as he introduced himself and his companion to her, watching with a wary gaze as she debated whether or not she wanted to leave the safety of the hollow. Never before had she thought so hard on whether or not she should approach someone, but what she had experienced had changed the game entirely.
Her eyes fell to the strange creature with the herbs, and she recognized it to be medical supplies. Though she had used a few before, the only time she really applied any medical help to someone was the woman who had broken her leg. "Odysseus and...Olafur?" Slowly, she moved away from the far end of the hollow, somewhat crawling closer to them as she hugged her left foreleg to her chest, wincing at the pain as she half hobbled and half crawled forward. She knew she needed help, and who was she to deny the medical care that she so desperately needed. As she drew closer, her tail beat a low and timid wag, trying to show that she was willing to let them help but still, her fear was still present. Bit by bit, she tried to make it go away. But it was hard..
"W-what kind of creature are you?" She questioned Olafur, her gaze showing a hint of curiosity. She didn't feel like she needed to fear them all that much anymore, but her legs still felt like they were ready to spring into action at the first sign of danger. |
