my lungs will fill and then deflate

Avantika flinched once more as the pup lay down. His tail was wagging up a storm. Why was he so happy? Why didn't he just leave her alone? She was sort of glad he was here, but still mostly confused. Wasn't there something else he could do? Surely she wasn't the most important thing to be dealt with in this place, even for someone so small and young.

She looked up as he tried to get her attention with a soft 'hey'. His eyes were bright yellow and kind. His name was Rudy. Or Rudyard, apparently. Her brow furrowed. Which was it? She'd call him Rudy, just to be sure. It was the one he'd said first, so maybe that meant he liked it more. Hopefully.

Then he seemed more serious, telling her that he, something, something, got that she was scared, and that she didn't want to talk. Avantika didn't know what to say. She didn't even know if she did want to talk. She stayed as still as a statue, but not because of fear this time. The boy spoke more about how he liked to talk and offered to try to get her mind off whatever was scaring her. While she didn't believe it would work, it probably wouldn't hurt. And he was being so nice, he might get offended if she didn't accept the offer. And maybe, just maybe, she really did want to talk. "Okay."
