Torn. Body and mind seem to wage war inside. The body demanding him and the mind screaming no. This wasn't normal, she had never felt so at peace with another before. Trust so easily, or give in like she had. She was no innocent, she knows the pain and destruction that can be caused. And yet she seems to blindly put faith into Reich. As if something far more powerful than her is playing it's hand in a game she does not know how to play. These were waters she had never tempted before, unsure if in the end she will drown or stay afloat.
Tangerine eyes admire the stone beneath her paws the cool touch that seems to distract her from his scent and closeness, though poorly. It is when contact is made do eyes dart up, the simple and innocent touch seemingly draining away her fears and doubt as a flicker of a smile begins. Perhaps it was well enough time to see if she can swim in these unknown waters, for as Reich pulls away it is all she can do not to follow. For the comfort his touch brings to her soul eases. He nods to her answering her question and she cannot stop the slight wave to her tail as she moves up behind him.
The warmth calls to her, as she answers by unknowingly leaning her shoulder slightly upon his back leg. Blinking at him as raspy voice whispers,
"Thank you." As her nose pushes gently into his fur.
"Go, I will follow" Her voice is almost lost within his coat but enough for him to hear. As she shifts back to look at him, a slightly eager smile upon her lips. Waiting for the shadow stalker to guide her into the dark.
