For a moment he really believed that perhaps he had gone too far with his spontaneous compliment had gone too far. If anything, he had kind of expected a smile or a polite decline to his advances, but she didn’t really respond besides just looking up at him with a surprisingly sad gaze. His smile lingered, though it grew more faint as concern touched his expression. She was quiet so he was as well, simply watching as her gaze fell away to drop down and look at his paws instead. Allegro was just about to apologize for his comment and offer to leave her be when she shocked him even more. His eyes widened with surprise as she moved closer and rested her head against his chest. For a moment he wasn’t sure what to do. He blinked with shock, but that confused expression quickly softened into something closer to gentle compassion as he peered down at her. Without a word, he brought one of his gold-banded forelegs up to gently rest it around her shoulders and hold her against him. He made sure not to fully wrap her in his embrace just in case she decided she wanted to pull away, but as long as she wanted to remain there he would let her. There was no real way to know what she was going through or how she was feeling, but he was happy to offer her any comfort he could give her - no matter how slight it might be. He gently rubbed her upper back with his paw and let his claws lightly trail through the thicker fur on her scruff. She seemed so small and delicate, but there was also a quiet, brooding sadness and a subtle strength that told him she had been through much more than he could probably guess. Part of him wanted to ask her if she wanted to talk about it, but something told him she didn’t so he just kept quiet and let her have this moment. |
