Take me somewhere new

Fairly quickly, she was adapting to their close proximity - Esarosa was one to get used to new things quickly, particularly when she had no choice. In her mind, there was no sense resisting or resenting something you couldn't change. And in all reality, sharing this space with Steel wasn't all so bad; in fact, she was starting to quite enjoy herself. Of course, she hoped that she wouldn't annoy him, but if he hadn't left yet, then things looked pretty promising to her. She shivered slightly from the cold, her pelt still quite damp, although she was able to ignore it for now. Smirking to herself, she was glad when Steel finally accepted her offering, and ate the frog without a complaint. Actually, she was a little bit surprised that he hadn't refused, but she was thrilled that he'd eaten without a fuss. He offered his thanks in a tone lighter than usual, to which she would smile. "No worries," she said in response, glad that her friend wouldn't go to sleep hungry. As he suggested that tomorrow they ought to go after something their own size, obviously to get a better meal out of the effort of hunting, Esa snickered. "Oh I see, a little frog's just not good enough," she teased back in response, one of her forepaws lifting to land upon one of his in good humor. Again she would fall silent for a moment, her eyes meeting his, amusement clear upon her face with a wide grin. She could feel his tail moving, thudding repeatedly against her own tail as it revealed his own feelings for the situation. It was a rare expression, and it only made Esa feel more giddy - was he actually enjoying his time with her? Her cheeks flushed with warmth at the thought, feeling yet another flutter somewhere within her ribcage. She held her breath for a moment, wondering if this was normal - weren't they just supposed to go to sleep now? Yet, she wasn't feeling sleepy at all, even though they'd eaten and found shelter. How was she expected to just close her eyes and drift off to sleep when she'd never had company in a den before? She felt squirmy, and an inexplicable desire to shift her position caused her to move so that her shoulder pressed into his. Her eyelids drooped for a moment, comfortable, before her eyes perked open again. "If I'm taking up too much space, just tell me," she said in a friendly tone, before her voice shifted just slightly, "But... it's much warmer when I'm close to you. I'm still soaked from earlier..." Oh, she hoped he wouldn't mind if she shuffled closer to him - somehow he was so warm, and being close to him made her shivers dissolve. Not only that, but she felt like she could just stay here forever. At this rate, it felt like tomorrow would never come, and that was okay with her. |
