Birds of a Feather

Azzurra attempted to look casual and nonchalant as she waited for the other girl to get closer, letting her gaze drift over the fjord and at the landscape to keep herself occupied in the moments that passed between when their gazes met and when the smaller white and tan girl reached her. She still made little glances toward the other wolf occasionally to see if she was still heading this direction and once she was a little closer Azzurra noticed her bobbing, folded over ears. It was harder to keep herself from watching the other girl walking once she noticed them and was immediately enamored by how cute they looked moving with every step the girl took. She had been so caught up examining the unusual ears that when she was actually greeted it caught her off guard and her face flushed as she stumbled over her words. "Oh, um, hello," she replied back with a shy smile, her ears flicking back against her head.

She noticed the very stoic expression on the girl's face and Azzurra realized she probably wasn't all that interested in meeting a stranger so she looked away again, trying to keep herself to the side so she could get by. Her question surprised her though and she looked up at the smaller girl's sky blue gaze again with a few surprised blinks. "No! No, I um... I was just trying to stay out of the way since I saw you coming this way," she explained. Once the black-marked girl was past she stood again, carefully moving back toward the middle of the path. She was about to keep going to prevent herself from embarrassing herself any more than she had, but she just couldn't help looking at the other girl again over her shoulder to tell her, "Um... Your ears are really cute, by the way." Her short puff ball of a tail wagged gently before she started walking down the path again.
