She accidentally startled the male with her words, and her heart gave a painful thud of anxiety before he controlled his reaction and didn't jump from the fright she gave him. Oh goodness, she'd never have forgiven herself if she'd caused him to fall in. He tilted his head to look at her, and she managed a faintly sickly smile for him. When he sat up, away from the tar pit, she barely suppressed a sigh of relief, one that quickly turned to a giggle she had to swallow hard to keep down when she saw that his ear had dipped into the tar. The faintly silly air this lent the handsome male made her relax a little, though her ears still quivered shyly. "If you're hungry, maybe we can find a safer way to get you fed," she suggested unsteadily. "I wouldn't want to see you trapped with the deer!" Her wide eyes went back to that tar-dipped ear, and she gestured towards it with one snowy paw. "It almost had you, after all. Can I help you clean that off in apology for startling you?" Her head tilted for her to finally meet his eyes, her own gaze quite apologetic.
