He seemed so content there upon the ground beside the river that Anais was beginning to fell even more strongly that she should take her leave of him and let him rest. Surely her conversation was only going to prolong him from drifting away into sleep, which she supposed he was considering by how still he grew as he lay there, his eyes closed in such a peaceful expression though his ears continued to stay tuned to her as if to hear every word. A little she shifted upon her front paws, her own ears turning back to rest against her head uncertainly as indecision kept her rooted to the spot.
Or at least until her companion moved. His harmless statement regarding prey to hunt went naturally over her head, but the kick he aimed at her paws cleanly swept her forelegs out from under her and took with it her support. Startled, her yellow-gold eyes widened and her front half hit the wolf she had been sitting beside with an audible, "Oof!", and before she had a moment to apologize or draw herself away again, as would have been proper, he rolled, dragging himself over her with her own body sheltered underneath him.
Her heart beat swiftly in her chest, her gaze wide as she lay partially upon her side, confused and quite uncertain about the whole change in positions. What had just happened? But as if nothing at all was out of place, the male with the dark, hazel eyes suggested that she be the new prey, his tone a quiet purr that cause Anais to tense beneath him, her ears still pinned and her gaze still wide. He leaned in with a gentle nip against her ear, the touch eliciting a nervous shiver, and feeling considerably flustered she rolled so that she could more properly look up at him, tucking her paws and tail in close so as to try keeping at least a little of the proper distance between them though she wondered if he even cared. "But you-you're not resting anymore," she countered weakly, a slight, uncharacteristic stutter accompanying her statement. From where she lay, it hardly seemed like he was truly entertaining thoughts about rest anymore, though what he was thinking instead she wished she knew.
