Take me somewhere new

She could hear her friend snickering as she'd returned to solid ground, and looked to his face to realize he was smiling again. His tail almost wagged. He was having a laugh at her expense, but it only made her grin, amused herself. As he spoke lightly, advising her to take a break from frogs, she could hear the teasing in his voice and giggled light-heartedly in response. The look in her emerald gaze said there was no chance of her giving up on frogs. She didn't mind getting a little dirty - catching frogs was too much fun! Although... Brrrr! she thought with a shudder, as a cold shiver ran down her spine, Maybe frogs aren't the best prey to chase at night... in the rain. But she couldn't admit out loud that he was right about that. As they approached the tree, and she dived within the cavern, she would watch Steel's expression as her eyes adjusted to the gloom. He seemed to glance it over, examining the tree and the shelter she had proposed. "Looks fine," was all he would say before making his way into the hollow below the tree roots. Esarosa tried to shuffled over to make more room as he entered, and soon realized there wasn't much she could do - they'd have to settle with the close quarters. As he lay down, she felt his coat brushing hers, his tail overlapping hers. A nervous flutter erupted in her belly, though she wasn't sure why; it must have been because she hadn't shared a den with anyone since before leaving home. She'd last shared a den with her sister, but this was quite different, indeed. She was silent for several moments, staring at him as she tried to understand her flustered internal state, but it was to no avail. So instead, she burst into a fit of giggles at their predicament, as she placed the frog she'd caught between them, in what little space there was. "It's pretty snug, hope you don't mind," she said with a laugh bubbling in her tone; her tail thumped against the ground although it was slightly trapped beneath Steel's own tail, "Hungry?" Esa leaned toward the frog and carefully removed a leg; with her incisors clamped onto the funny webbed foot, she offered the thigh to Steel, hoping he'd take it. "You better eat it, I got drenched catching this thing!" she said teasingly, still laughing, "And the legs are like the best part." Her eyes glimmered mischievously as she leaned forward to offer him the yummy little morsel, wondering how he'd respond. |
