I don't want to wake up on my own anymore

She was silent, old habits falling into place even as pieces of her facade started crumbling down around her. A wave of emotions she could not place crashed down around her, threatening to drown her and drag her away. She couldn't place half of them, couldn't figure out what she was feeling even as muscles trembled beneath sleek pelt. Though eyes would relax slightly from their startled state she would remain standing where she was, leaning away slightly even though a part of her told her to close the distance between them. Something about his stance soothed her, made her feel slightly more at ease despite the fact that her muscles seemed to have decided they would forever tighten and tense. Nothing really clicked in until his words broke the silence and paralysis was broken by the sudden need to translate the strange words coming from his tongue. Though she knew the language well enough her mind still needed a time to stop and fish the words out from the river of knowledge in her skull. Though the last word he spoke she didn't understand, not having heard the term before. "Ma'am? The word tasted wrong on her tongue and yet she felt the need to ask anyways. A sudden curiosity igniting in her as head tipped and ears pricked forward in a more inquisitive manner. Tension seemed to melt away after that, the cement that had bound her muscles chipping and flaking off until she was standing in a more upright position, joints looser now and muscles relaxed. The distance between them gave some added comfort that allowed her to relax further then she would have if they had shared a closer proximity. The fact that he also remained seated helped and slowly her body would turn, black dipped forelegs stretching forward to pull her a few steps closer towards him and bring herself facing him fully, tail hung low though every so often it would give an uncertain wag at her heels as if trying to hint at friendship but plagued by uncertainty. Again he would speak, this time questioning her and slowly she would cast her gaze around. Intruding... She knew that word.. Something about it was familiar and yet the context that she knew it in did not fit here. "Non, pas empieter..." She said slowly though as soon as she said it she realized she had slipped back into her native language. Would he understand? For a moment she studied him, waiting and watching him to see if there was any sign of recognition on his face towards her words. "No... No interruption. Why. You... Here?" Words were choppy and broken, she struggled with forming the complete sentences and though she could string them together there wasn't any flow to them as there would be with someone who spoke the language naturally. So she forced out the words as she found them, brows knit together in concentration. Head would tip curiously before, eyes trained on the ground as she spoke but once they finished eyes would flitter back up to the white male in an almost questioning manner, everything about her just as uncertain as he was. Slowly she would take a few more steps towards him, closing some more distance, though she was content to keep the space greater then normal for two wolves to talk. Though she was still curious she was cautious. Two years of living alone had her used to doing things a certain way and it would be hard to break those habits. |
