toasty, like my spot in hell

It didn't take a lot to get Hanako's heart racing right now. She'd thought she had her wits about her, had her ears pricked up and everything, listening out for approaching footfalls. But maybe he'd been too quiet, silent as a shadow on his large, dark paws. Or maybe she'd gotten too distracted by the stars, by the lighter thoughts that flicked through her mind. Either way the end result was still the same, she sucked in an alarmed breath at the sound of someone saying her name. Not calling or looking, no she'd been found. She went stiff, the battered remains of her tail tucking in between her legs as she found herself feeling ice cold despite the warmth radiating out into the world behind her. It was too much too soon and- There was no fight or flight, only freeze. That was the only defence mechanism she had that was working right now.
Except was it really needed? She blinked slowly, realising that whilst the voice wasn't overly familiar it was one she'd heard before. Someone she'd spoken to. And taking a moment to look at him grounded that thought into reality, allowing her legs to unstiffen a little, allow her legs to unfurl from her chest a little.
"Oh. Chimera." She said.
