'You have known him for ages, I know you have. Since the beginning...but how?' Was all I could think as I watch him step closer. It would seem he likes to do that, like I am drawing him in or something. I giggle, tilting my head s he gives his response. He doesn't have anywhere to go? How terrible! Though, maybe he prefers it this way, to wander. I wave my tail, the motion suddenly halting as he adds on to his previous statement. Struck by me? I didn't hit him...Did I? No, surely I would remember such a thing! ”Oh my goodness, did it hurt when I struck you!?” My girlish voice grows squeaky with worry, my eyes searching all over for any bump or bruise. I hate to think I hurt him, even if it was an accident.

I catch his tone then, and my mask of worry fades away. I wave my tail, giggling at how silly I must have sounded, blushing a bit beneath my white cheeks I look up at him. ”Ra's, I am sorry I did not catch what you were saying a minute ago...I can be kind of...blonde..” I listen to the rest of his introduction, feeling more bashful by the second that I had interrupted him. ”I live in Glorall, though I like to go out and find herbs so that I can become a healer. I don't know why Sinopa tells me to do all the useless stuff...” I am pouting, to a complete stranger, who looks at me like I am heaven on Earth. But, somehow, I don't feel wrong for venting; actually, it feels almost natural. Like I should tell him every one of my secrets and troubles, triumphs and trials. And he should do the same back. Maybe one day we will be that close...like the very best of friends!
