I wanted so badly to be brave

Carefully Balsam stepped down onto a lower branch, his claws and well padded toes gripping the bark and securing him an unbreakable hold. His eyes, like Sota's, roved the territory below. Unlike his companion Balsam had steeled himself for the task ahead. His friend was hesitant and for whatever reason - protectiveness, maybe? - that gave him courage. He couldn't be nervous because Sota was. His dry tongue rasped across his nose as he gazed out over the expanse with a thoughtful expression. At last he glanced over at Sota. For his friend's sake he would be fearless. "Looks like a good place to find a giant." He had an image in his head of them being like trolls; liking the darkness and living in caves. So a big shadowy gash in the ground seemed like a decent place to find a ghastly specimen or two. Balsam clamored down a couple branches and then paused to smirk up at Sota. "Not gonna chicken out on me, are you?" A little ribbing would hopefully be enough to annoy Sota into forgetting his nerves. |
