Alive In The Lights

He sighed, still hung up on the thought that he was acting like an idiot. Hell, he felt like an idiot for freaking out. Especially in front of someone else...but it was too late now, and it couldn't be helped. He was sure that if he had freaked out like that in Abaven, he probably would have been teased or something. And he knew for a fact that if that happened, he would have probably sunk his teeth into someone. He eyed her, frowning a bit after she mentioned everyone bring scared of something. Honestly, he didn't think he was afraid of anything. But today he found out he was. Subconsciously, the sound simply reminded him of the sound the rocks made when they came rumbling down the cliff side before they crashed to the ground in a pile of dust and rubble, his parents crushed beneath it.

"Yeah...I guess...it's just..." He closed his eyes, head dropping to the ground as he tried to relax. "Nothing, nevermind." He couldn't tell her yet. The more he did relax, the more he was able to calm himself down and become more aware of his surroundings. That's when he noticed her scent again, his ears twitching a bit as his nostrils flared. He totally forgot about that...it was one of the first things he had scented when he first came across her, but now she was practically snuggled up against him and her scent was closer. Stronger. And he wasn't sure what to do. "I uh...ahem...I should probably apologize...sorry for making you run deeper into this place. Though you didn't have to..I'm sure I would have managed on my own." Pfffttt...who was he kidding? He was trying to regain his macho composure, but it wasn't coming as fast as he wanted. "Anyway...is there anything you're afraid of?"
