A Quick Nap

Audra half expected him to keep walking. Hesitant, but surprised when he stopped and turned at the sound of her voice, she took a half step back at a moment. It was one thing to have one pair of eyes on her, but three pairs made her heart drop into her stomach. Swallowing quietly, she felt a bit more relaxed when his gentle smiled appeared on his lips. So kind of him. Her thought rang out as the mysterious stranger laid down on his belly, his face at level with her's. The tip of her tail rose slightly, wagging for a moment as he assured her she wasn't a bother and that he was the one hoping to not have disturbed her.

"Oh no, no, I was just trying to warm up a bit. Now that I notice it's chilly, I don't believe that was such a good idea..," Audra's voice trailed off as her eyes wandered to his armor and collection of meat. Her skin crawled with a shiver as her stomach insisted that she ask for his food. I doubt he would share, but I'm awfully hungry. Her ears dipped down again, discouraged by her unconfident thoughts. How was she going to get by in this world if she was never brave?

Intaking a deep breath, she looked at his bright, sapphire eyes. "I was wondering..," she hesitated for a moment, scratching a paw into the dirt as she glanced down. Suddenly losing her moment of bravery, she swallowed hard and shook her tawny face. "Okay, I was just wondering if maybe you had a small scrap of meat you might be able to spare?" The words spilled like the water that raced over the falls. Not daring to look at him, no matter how open and inviting his gesture was, Audra was afraid of the denial. "You-you c-can say no," she whispered finally, eyes gently looking up to peek at him, her heart racing back into her chest.
