(continuity note: it said Silverback took him into a tunnel like cave that went straight into the side of the cliffs, not like a well shaft tunnel. Though we could say it slopes downwards a bit from the entrance)

...



The male was still extremely wary of her and fearful of the situation as a whole. When she'd moved forward he'd taken another step back. He'd best be care however - in the enclosed space there was only so far he could go. It was as though he expected at any moment for her to leap upon him and sink her teeth into his throat. Well, perhaps that was the smart way to see things. She was perfectly capable of doing such a deed - but the truth was, she did not want to. This speckled little bird, she had claimed as her own, and she wished him to stay that way. He was little good to her dead.

"Will I be here forever...?"

Oh dear, this one might just be a bit too cute. The way his whine warbled out - that lowering of his head. Silverback, felt a twitch of her tail as she tried to dismiss any real feelings of pity. None of this was supposed to actually make her feel bad!

"Yes," she told him, not mincing words. "Forever." It seemed as ripe a time as any to explain things. "I do not expect you to understand," she sniffed, "but the fact is that I seem to be one of the last of a dying breed. I am alone in the world, and though my kind is rather solitary - I find myself yearning for company." -There she could not hide the tint of actual longing that fueled her actions, but she did her best to regain composure. "However, I seem to have stumbled upon a way to fix that." She looked at the wolf expectantly - as though the answer was obvious. "You."

She was tempted to keep walking forward. To corner him if need be so that he would have no choice but to submit to touches and licks which she assumed would be soothing and calming. But no no, she would wait. She would restrain herself and give the poor creature time to adjust. To show her good will, she even went as far as to sit down and coil her giant tail twice round her paws. "You'll probably hate me at first," she said with a quiet regret that was actually half genuine, "But I'll take care of you - I'll bring you food and tell you stories and share my life with you. Perhaps..." she blinked, aware that she was beginning to betray just how much she felt. "Perhaps in time you'll accept that."

She glanced at her paws as though suddenly self conscious, then back at the cave walls and finally on the male himself. "If you wish for time to adjust, I'll leave you alone for a bit, or I can stay and answer any other questions." Dang it. Why was she being so helpful? It was one thing to act like she was all nice-nicey, it was another thing to actually start to mean it. She wasn't supposed to be getting attached to these little flea bags right from the start - unless it was only in a possessive, controlling way.
