Hercules was relieved to see that the girl was alright. He nodded in understanding when she mentioned being tired and scared while he continued to gulp in air to catch his breath as well as calm his own racing heart. Even though he had played the part of hero he had still been plenty scared. She nuzzled into his chest and he looked down at her and blinked with surprise, his ears folding back shyly. He wasn't used to anyone being this forward, especially complete strangers so it took him by surprise. All the same, the gesture was sweet and a little adorable. He smiled and replied, "You're welcome." His orange gaze found her clear blue eyes again when she looked up at him and giggled before asking about the monster. Her speech had an impediment, but it wasn't hard to sort out what she was saying. Again, it was something that was a surprise, but at the same time it was adorable in its own way. "It was a crocodile. Or maybe an alligator. I always get them confused. Either way they're big and can eat you if they try really hard." He grinned a little and quickly added, "But luckily we're a lot faster than it is!" hoping that if he made a little light of the situation it would make her feel better. He didn't like seeing her shake like that. They were both covered in mud from running through the moore, but she didn't seem to care so he didn't either. "Oh! Um, I'm Hercules by the way," he added once he realized he had somehow forgotten his manners in all the craziness of their chase. |
