When All Else Fails

Leo smiled when she excitedly accepted his offer and quickly hopped over to sniff at the offered fish. He was just about to take his own dinner to begin eating it when all the sudden she began to back away. He looked up again curiously, his eyes widening when he saw the tears in her eyes and how her little body was trembling. He felt a little moment of panic. What had he done? He tried to tell her to wait when she turned to run off, but his words just came out as confused sputtering. What in the world? He glanced from her retreating form and back to his dinner, then back to her again. He thought about just letting her go, but his mismatched ears caught her cry and they fell back with immediate concern. He abandoned the fish and ran after her, following her scent to her hiding spot behind a fallen log. He hopped over the log and crouched down beside her. "Hey hey hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" his voice was soft and calm, not wanting to rile her up any more than she already was. His sapphire gaze was full of concern and a small frown creased his face. He leaned forward to gently nudge her shoulder with his nose, hoping to coax her out of the ball shape she had pulled herslef into so maybe they could talk and she could explain what was wrong. He really hoped he hadn't caused this. He would feel awful if he was! |
