She didn't know what to expect from him, she hadn't heard him coming closer while she recounted her story. She hadn't expected to find his larger body sitting beside her and their fur mingling. She wasn't sure how to feel about it completely. On one paw he could easily snap at her, and on the other he was being just as gentle as before. She wanted to trust him so much. She had already put so much faith in him and his promise to never harm her. Was it wrong to want to lean into him and finally let someone else be her shield? She'd spent so much time building up her walls and barriers, and here she was letting them crumble in hopes he was honest in wanting to protect her. Though it was necessary for him to know everything in order for him to protect her, since she didn't know if any of them had survived the war that had started for their land. He may not of verbally growled but their close proximity allowed for her to smell the anger on him, and feel the tremors of the growls he kept inside. Her ears pressed back and she stayed as still as possible. She wouldn't run if it was anger for her, she wouldn't run if he tried to take his fury out on her. The next words from him though were not what she expected. She felt relief as he seemed to try his best to swallow his anger. Would hearing an apology from them be enough? She knew even if it wasn't though her next statement was the complete truth. She waited though and his promise held alot of meaning to her. It meant someone understood. "I-I'm t-terrified t-they'll c-c-come back, b-b-but I f-forgive t-them a-anyway." she carefully leaned into his side, tense and ready to withdraw again if he was repulsed. Her head laid against his ribs and she was fully aware how much larger he was then. speech action |
Tana is a flighty individual, with absolutely no will to fight. She might get scared and run mid-thread, I apologize in advance for this. Its nothing against your characters, she has just had a tough past and has a hard time trusting anyone.
