seen in a dream

Though he was momentarily frozen in his tracks by spotting a stranger, Strawberry's light birdsong helped ease his nerves enough to keep him grounded. The day was bright and forgiving and the sun felt warm against his cheeks, and no matter what else was happening he still had those things. He inhaled sharply as the stranger noticed him, trying to steady himself on paws that seemed to suddenly sway beneath his slender frame. "D-don't apologize," Spirit assured her quickly. As if keeping an eye on the two, Strawberry flew to a low-hanging branch and paused her flight to observe them.. not that she could do anything at all to protect him, but he was comforted by her watchful eyes anyway. "M-maybe I could help?" He offered timidly, his ears flicking as he tried to gauge her reaction to his proposal. Now that his sister wasn't ill he didn't feel quite so pressed to replenish his store of herbs; he could definitely help her out if she needed it. Might as well return the favor he'd gotten searching, right?
