Tic for tak

Heat had rushed to her cheeks, knowing all to well she had already managed to embarrass herself and the day had only just begun. Of course he would go by his name! "Oh, um.. right. Sorry.. Sirius." She mumbled, practically tripping over her words. It seemed out of all the talents she could possess, making a fool of herself was her specialty. No matter where she went she would trip or make a mess of things, and one way or another become the laughing stock of the whole group. It is why she came to these lands; too embarrassed from her previous life, she came here in search of a fresh start. Much to her dismay, she was already making the same mistakes. Odette was determined however, that this time it would be different.

"Yes, of course, Sirius." She all but jumped at the opportunity to get away from the den, from that awkward greeting, and was quick to follow after the large male. It was impressive, if not completely frightening, how much larger he was compared to Odette. Her pale blue orbs barely meeting the tops of his shoulders, causing her to have to crane her neck back to stare at his face properly. Not like she wanted to, in fear it would be disrespectful to look the monarch in the eye, or even worse... she feared she would openly stare at his enlarged teeth. It was difficult to resist the urge, considering they were so odd to her, and so distracting. In her best efforts, Odette kept her gaze focused on the grounds before them.

Still a never ending nagging pulled at her tongue, begging her to release, just one.. or two.. or a few questions she so desperately wanted to know the answers to. She had traveled to this land without knowing it's name, had travel across the Dunes into a pack she knew nothing about, and was attempting to walk with it's most important figure without knowing any of their culture of customs. If her anxiety didn't cause a heart attack, her trembling fear most certainly would. "Um.. Sirius? I can't thank you enough for letting me stay here... but, I.. well I don't really know where here is. I know you called it Ashen Armada... but I don't know these lands or your pack and I.. well.. Do you.. think you could.. tell me more?" Her voice wavered and trembled, speaking too fast through some words and too slow through others. 

One could practically see her legs shaking as she attempted to follow his long strides, her eyes wide like prey before they are killed. Did she overstep her boundaries? Is she asking too much? For all the uncertainty she faced it seemed only right to try and gather more information, however she did not know where the boundaries laid in these lands, or in the conversation for that matter. Odette was simply so use to messing things up, she knew in her heart something was going to go array and she had been trying so desperately to ensure it wouldn't. But perhaps it was already done. She walked as if she was gliding on eggshells, trembling with her nerves as she chewed on the inside of her lip, waiting for his reaction.
