He didn't miss her initial stance. He recognized it all too well because he often did the same thing when he felt like there was the threat of someone potentially taking away his prey. And then slowly but surely, her defensiveness began to fade as she started to relax a little. After a few moments, she seemed to recognize him and a shy 'heh' slipped past as a crooked smile showed itself. "Please, you don't need to thank me. I couldn't rightly leave you there." Well, he didn't know about that. He was, after all, a stranger. She could have very well left him to his own devices where he'd either make it out or die where he was buried. He chalked it up to her being humble, but he didn't press the matter. But when he thought about it, he was pretty sure he wouldn't have left someone to die, either. Stranger or not.
"Would you want to join me?" Gaze turned to the prey she had brought down, his own belly rumbling for a moment. "It's the least I can do after setting a very angry herd of deer on you." He couldn't help but laugh at that. He couldn't count the times he had been nearly trampled on two paws. Still, he nodded his head and approached. "Thank you, I appreciate it." When he was close enough to the kill, he would wait patiently for her to start eating first. She had caught it after all, and even if she hadn't, he would still be a gentleman and let her go first regardless. "You know, I've been nearly trampled more times than I can count on two paws. I suppose at some point, my prey would want to get revenge on me." Eyes shone brightly with humor, for once, he wasn't feeling so...awkward. But that probably wouldn't last long. |
