Standing By
Arivae felt herself relaxing as the boy began to smile, his tail thumping against the ground lightly. Judging by this, he seemed fine with her being around. Thank goodness...she wasn't exactly in the condition to run from some lone, stubborn bum. Plus, he looked like he was around her age! Some company in this heat wouldn't hurt! "I thought for sure I was going to turn into dust!" He stated after she spoke, his gentle gaze relaxing her a bit more. But after that comment she let out a little laugh. She definitely knew how that felt...being in this heat with dark fur...it was horrible! Luckily for him, he had lighter fur than she did. But it was still unfortunate for them all, she could understand that. After inviting her to join him beneath the tree, Arivae sat up and moved over to him, seating herself beside him and eventually lying down with her forearms crossed. "Thank you very much." She said quietly, her soft blue gaze turning up to him. As far as friends went...Arivae didn't have many. Of course she had Dhiren and that one woman...Odette, was it? Either way, those two were much older than her. She looked up to them a bit too much for them to be like friends. There was also her cousin that she met once, Aslan. But he was family. Plus, Aslan was probably far away from here, with his mother and siblings. So this boy...she was happy to be trusted enough to sit near him like this. They literally just met...but things would hopefully process. "I'm Arivae. It's nice to meet such a friendly guy out here." She chuckled, her neck craning up to look at him. Speaking of which...this stranger has those pretty mismatched eyes. They look kind of like her mother's eyes. And plus...those facial markings...this wasn't another Destruction, was it?! Arivae winced at the thought, her tail slowing to a stop and her gaze turning away from the boy. Eck...it'd be nice to meet some more family, but...she wanted to meet some others that were different from her. Like Odette was! |
