just let go

The brute had been so absorbed in his frustration that he hhad been completely unaware of the approaching female until it was too late. She was sudddenly upon him, investigating his paw and asking him about it. He flashed back to his sister doing the same thing any time he had been hurt before the incident. She had taken such good care of him all of the time, like her little brother was the most precious thing in the world to her. Wow, did he miss her... But this girl wasn't his sister. She looked nothing like her. She was a complete stranger.



Quick as a fox, Killian jumped away from the inquisitive female and withdrew his paw underneath his belly. His body was tense as he stood observing her with glowing red eyes,, analyzing the light peachy tones of her fur. It was an odd coloring, one he hadn't seen before, but it seemed to suit the personality he asumed she had - friendly and inviting. She was pretty, but she had invaded his space without his consent. She had gotten close in a moment of intensity that she couldn't begin to comprehend, and Killian had reacted on instinct. A low growl began an escape from his throat, but he cut it off as he regained his senses and the adrenaline faded.



The now subdued Killian limped back over to the female almost as quickly as he had bounded away, presenting his paw. While he was used to it hurting, the pain he was feeling now was excrutiating. SSilently he cursed his thoughts for being so invasive. It's pretty bad... much worse than usual. His deep vocals came out much quieter than they normally would, shame over his reaction pouring into his words. Sorry about the way I reacted. You caught me by surprise at a bad time.



Now that he had calmed, he took a moment to again examine the girl. She certainly was pretty, in a very unique way compared to all of the other females he had met and flirted with in his past few months. He also found himself impressed by her instinctive decision to rush to his aid. Most wolves would hesitate, wonder about their safety first. This one hadn't even considered it from what he could tell. Then again, she could have been watching him for quite some time and he just may not have realized. Perhaps she had made her decision with more care than he believed.
