Small error of judgment

Zee was terribly and horribly sullen as they stalked away from the craftswoman. Sirius had been an absolute dick to her, treating her like dirt in front of a total stranger. What was the big deal? It wasn't like she was disrespecting their masters. The woman was no Klein. They walked all the way back into the depths of the territory and Sirius had still not said a word. That's fine - Zee could do the silent treatment too. Her brows were permanently furrowed in a scowl and occasionally her expression would grow even further grumpy when she'd remember exactly how many feathers they needed to gather. They'd be stuck together forever. Ugh. As they approached the lake the brute got immediately to business, crouching low into the dirt to sneak towards a large bird. Zee raised one eyebrow incredulously, wondering how exactly the wolf that could pass for a bear would hide himself from the avian creature. Slowly her rump lowered to sit upon the earth as she watched with quiet amusement. He pounced - a swing and a miss - and disappeared for a moment beneath the water's surface. It didn't take long before he resurfaced, flailing wildly. Zee's face softened into a smile and she couldn't help but laugh softly at his efforts. "Oh, man." She giggled. "You're hopeless." She trod forward to the bank, peering down at him with amusement she couldn't even begin to conceal. "Sirius, it's like running. Just.. no - stop flailing." She coached, lowering her head so that she could bring her paw up to hide her eyes for a moment as her gentle laughter tried to come back. "OK, your legs need to go the same direction or you're not going to go anywhere. What are you - Oh jeeze." Zee took a deep breath to hopefully stifle the endless giggles. She didn't want to shame him for his ineptitude, and if he was in any real danger she'd not be able to find the situation so amusing. "I can't come help you, you know. First rule of swimming is to stay away from panicked, flailing legs. Just, just move your legs like you're running and push yourself back to shore." "Speech" "Thinking" "You." |
