7 Tips For Beating The $*!# Out Of Social Anxiety

Well hot damn, wasn't she a sassy one? He resisted the rather powerful urge to roll his eyes at her own commentary, deciding she must've just woken up on the wrong side of her den today. "I didn't say I disliked it," he countered lazily, as if arguing over the meaning of words with a female quite clearly irritated him was the most normal thing in the world. Perhaps in his, it was. "It's just not... favorable. You'd look an awful lot prettier without that scowl on your face. That's all I'm getting at." Kai shrugged, the comment a casual one and his voice devoid of the initial flirtatiousness he'd demonstrated upon first meeting her. He made a mental note to avoid her the next time he saw her, if she looked even half as grouchy as she sounded today - but for now, he'd made up his mind to pester her for a bit longer. At least long enough to find a decent meal, he'd already decided, and once he made up his mind about something he wasn't quick to back down. Luckily, both of their attentions seemed to snap to the nearby waterfowl after a moment, temporarily making Kai forget about how irritatingly annoyed Sephira seemed with his presence. Maybe she'd lighten up once she got some food in her stomach. Wasn't food the quickest way to a woman's heart? He briefly remembered his father telling him something like that once.. but then again, Kai had an inkling that Aki's interested had weighed heavily toward the other sex, as his own were seeming to. Women were just way more difficult, he was beginning to realize. Instead of rolling his eyes he found himself narrowing them as he zeroed in on the ducks. Sephira suggested they lay in wait, glancing over toward the cattails, and he nodded in agreement. Waiting, while not his preferred method of hunting, seemed like a reasonable approach in this scenario. He wasn't able to tell her that her idea was a good one, though, wary that she meant gloat about it, so he was nonchalant as he headed toward the edge of the banking. He moved as quietly as he could, which was a difficult feat for the oversized male, though neither of them managed to startle the ducks quite yet as they settled into place. He could only hope that they wouldn't have to wait long, lest he feel inclined to poke and prod at her with his words even more, equally inclined to try to cheer her up and irritate her further. His growing hunger apparently outweighed his mischievousness, though, as he refrained from making much noise as at as they waited. Slowly, the group of birds drifted closer, rolling lazily down the river - seconds turned into minutes and finally they were just barely within reach. Casting Sephira an inquisitive look, gauging to see if she was ready, Kai made his move - diving almost headfirst toward the water, plowing through the cattails like a bull in a stampede, aiming his jaws straight for one of the ducks. He was rewarded by the flapping of wings as his chosen target tried to escape, but his teeth found purchase as he shook his jaws and secured his meal., wondering if Sephira had been quite as lucky beside him. |
