Oh, Lonesome Me

She heard him move quickly inside just as she had settled in her normal warn spot in the den. He moved away from her, not coming near her. It almost made her wonder if her earlier sign of affection had been to much? She tried to not focus on it, focusing on the dull sound of rain pounding the earth above them. That plus being under the earth seemed to dull the distant thunder and the pounding rain seemed to ease her. She hadn’t realized she had become tense until the thoughts of spending all night close to him in this den. Honestly she had never shared this kinda space with another and it made her a bit uncertain, but half of her was fairly excited for it too. Excited to be with just him. She was a bit confused with the internal struggle, knowing he had yet to show any danger to her, but yet she still found part of herself fearful. Why now??

His words soon tore her from her thoughts as she focused on his statement. What would happen if the rain didn’t stop? She certainly didn’t feel like traveling in the rain if it was raining still. It would just make travel rather miserable plus she hated how it made picking up scents extremely hard for her. She knew she would be fallowing him, but it was still hard to deal with yet.

”Well if It doesn’t we could always make tomorrow a ‘lazy and rest up for travel’ kind of day,” she said with a slight smile.

His joke made her smile even wider her tail gently wagging. Come to think of it she hadn’t either. Even in the Alcove of celestial she had her own private spot. Thinking of this made her blood rush and her heart beat a little faster. Sharing a small place with anyone let alone a male she was enjoying the company of she had never done before.

”Well I’ve had plenty of them,” she lied though for fun. ”We can braid each other’s fur and talk about others we don’t like and....”

She laughed unable to stay serious. She was hoping to act serious and just see how he reacted, but she blew it.
