he comes

Again she felt her body react without her mind consciously telling her to. Glacier was just so big, so intimidating, that she moved on instinct, cautiously shrinking just a little as she slid back a step for the first he had taken. She caught herself before she could take another, willing herself to behave more trustingly. Here was someone who was willing to take time out of his own schedule, however busy or not busy it was, to help her find her lost Lebrah, and her acting distrusting was certainly unacceptable repayment for his kindness.

Trying to master her nerves, Anais drew in a quick breath and let it out softly, forcing herself to hold still as another slow step was taken by the blue wolf, and another. He responded to her as he moved, further assurances that he had indeed meant to help her as she had assumed he would. No, she really could not allow her newly found caution get in the way of a helpful stranger. She smiled, timidly and a bit sheepishly for her behavior, and hoped that he had not been offended by any of it. "Thank you." His generosity was far more than she expected to get from anyone save her family, and the unexpected gesture helped to restore a little of her faith in her kind as a whole. They were not all mean, untrustworthy creatures at all.

Figuring she ought to be the one to take the lead on their search since she knew Lebrah better than anyone did, the grey-gold girl quietly lowered her gaze and carefully turned in place, nervously padding across the ice and back toward the edge of the lakeside with her ears turned to catch every sound from the wolf behind her. "He normally doesn't go very far," she stated to distract herself from the few worries that still lingered, "he likes staying close. I'm hoping I just missed him somewhere." Her careful steps drew her up off the ice and onto cold, solid earth again, and pausing Anais turned to check back on Glacier, a new thought arising and needing to be voiced. "Are there others with you?" she asked cautiously. Maybe the sight of them, a band of rogues lurking about their home, had spooked him, especially if any of them were as monstrous in size as this Glacier was.
