SMELLING THE ROSES

"If you need the help, I can give it to you." This time she responds quickly, wanting to reassure the woman that she could help her if she needed it. The woman seems to be hesitant, either she didn't really want the help, or she didn't want to ask for it. Surely Fiamette would find out which it was soon. When the woman gives Fiamette her name, she repeats the name silently to herself a few times to memorize it. Then, she gives her name in response. "Fiamette." Again she takes another step forward, hoping to completely compromise the woman's personal space. "If you can't see because of the fog, I can lead the way..." Her voice trails off as she waits for an answer, her snout aiming to linger a single foot away from the stranger flesh.
