Make It Better

Walk | Talk | Think Ash continued to fidget as she waited, shifting her weight from forepaw to forepaw while her tail curved close to her legs. Even her ears had begun to fall back against her head as she continued to look around in anticipation of spotting Leon from either side, but she had not expected him to show up above the den. Pinpointing the sound of paw steps, the little grey hunter turned in place to glance upward, surprised but so incredibly relieved to see Leon there. She breathed out heavily and smiled immediately, her tail beginning to wag close to her legs. It was so good to have him close; already she felt better. She just hoped he would be prepared for what she had to tell him. He hopped down to join her on level ground and she eagerly padded forward to nuzzle him as he did to her, calmed slightly by his closeness and his gentle touch. Her two-toned eyes closed tightly a she did so, breathing in his scent and hoping to draw some of his strength into her if she could. She needed ever ounce of it that she could get. He pulled back with a kiss on her cheek and though a part of her wished to evade his brilliant blue eyes, paranoid he would be able to read her secrets in them, she met his gaze anyway, though they turned downward when she took note of the hare he had brought for her. She laughed at the sight of it, an airy sound that threatened to become much more emotional than intended. Oh goodness, she really just needed to get it over with. Ignoring the rabbit - she had no appetite at the moment - she drew in a breath and began to speak, her expression nervous yet serious and her tone similar. "I need to talk to you." Well, of course, he had probably already put that together. She had called to him after all. "I need to tell you something." That was better. But now that everything was set up, now that she had her moment, she found herself struggling. It was somewhat embarrassing, but nothing compared to the overwhelming anxiety and worry over what his reaction might be like. She tried to speak, opened her muzzle to do so, and failed twice before she finally said within a whine that nearly brought tears to her eyes, "I'm pregnant." |
