hale cometh down upon our spines

He doesn't move and Delphi is unsure whether or not it is a good thing. She doesn't move either though. Staying put against his side with her nose tucked under his paw, she continues to look up at him. From what she can see from her position, he doesn't appear... okay. Delphi stills herself for a moment to focus on him. To feel the erratic pace of his heart, his shallow breaths, feel the way his muscles are tense. Was he panicking? Her brow scrunches as she slips her nose out from under his paw and lifts her head to get a better look at his face.

"I-I can go b-back if this is to-too much," there is an awkward and embarrassed tremble in her voice as her lips pull down into a frown. So maybe she really had invaded his personal space. Too much, too soon? She didn't mean anything by it. It was just... when they were half entangled hanging over the cliff... it has felt so nice. His soft fur, his body heat, the up and down of his ribs as he breathed. There was something about being close to someone that was more comforting than any medicine could provide.
