Esarosa smirked with amusement as the male shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, clearly taken aback by her sudden questioning. He was hesitant to answer, stammering slightly, and the look on Esa's face . Why did she like teasing quiet wolves so much? They just made it so easy! She could see his forced smile, and how he hardly looked at her as he tried to convince her that he hadn't been following her. Of course, she knew it wasn't like he'd been stalking her or anything, he'd just come across her by chance. A lucky coincidence, for her. She jumped to her paws excitedly as he agreed to join her, even if his answer sounded less than enthusiastic. But it seemed that was just how he was. He didn't get overly excited about things, even if he was interested and wanted to join in. If he really didn't want to hang around, he'd just leave, right? Her tail waving now, she shook her head as he asked if she'd been here before. "Nope, this place is totally new to me," she explained, looking down to the gorge again, "I was going to go check it out, but I don't think it'd be safe alone. But if you come with me, it'll be fine." She smiled at him, glad that he'd agreed to come with her. "Why don't we get going?" she suggested, turning away from him and heading toward the steep decline into the gorge, "I can't wait to see all of the different caves and passageways. It's cool to imagine what it used to look like." She trotted off, her paws moving away from the cool grass as it tapered off, turning to bare stone. Just ahead was the place she'd made her earlier descent, and she would go down carefully once more, careful not to trip. Then she'd look back, waiting for Steel to come along, watching in hopes he also wouldn't lose his footing. |
