Life is better with a book

The moment the snake recoiled from her and seemed to release somewhat she jumped back. She watched for another moment, looking for another opening when suddenly Ultyr seemed to have it under control again.

She wasn't sure if she should be relieved but as soon as the snake dropped, Ultyr was grabbing her and pulling her into him. Surprise colored her face at the embrace. Was this him thanking her? She wasn't sure. Her ears pressed but she also couldn't help but wag her little tail, there may not of been praise but it felt like she had done something right.

Though it was short lived as he pushed away from her, almost as if something angered him. Shit. She had done something wrong after all. Was what she had done not useful? Did he have it all under control without her help and she had only gotten in the way? Her ears fell and she stood from where he discarded her. As he went to work on the snake she went and gathered the bag. Her exploration of the place about to continue. But she also knew better than to leave too far from his side.
