Step Lightly

She was rather confused with the gentle nuzzle he?d given her before leaving their den, but she wasn?t about to go demanding questions to the questions that were firing through her head. Now was not the time to be thinking about such things as anything remotely close to feelings developing from her or him. They needed to rest and try to recuperate as much as they could tonight. She was still unsure what they were going to do tomorrow, but she figured it was somewhere along the lines of heading out in search of a healer that could possible patch them up better than their slowly healing bodies could.
