He couldn't help his growing excitement and even some impatience as they stared at the rabbits and the rabbits stared right back. Why weren't they approaching already? Could they not see how badly he wanted to be their friend? The female continued to look at him with such anticipation like she saw good things in his future but right now, all he wanted was to touch the bunny! He understood when she said that it might take some time but he was just so impatient! He didn't want to hurt the bunnies, at least not yet. His stomach was starting to growl though. Did that mean he would have to go back to the den soon? He didn't know if mom and dad would be out looking for him or if they might already know where he is. He was just hoping there would be food waiting when he got back. They knew he was a growing pup after all.
As he tried his hardest to sneak closer to the rabbits, one young rabbit did start creeping closer and Fen only grew more excited. His tail went to wagging excitedly and his ears strained forward. He was breathing in pants as he looked at the female.
"DO YOU SEE?! IT'S COMING CLOSER!"
He could barely contain himself. The rabbit came even closer and it was he could do not to pounce on it. In play, of course, like he did to Xerxes and Tikal all the time, trying to provoke play. He heard her say to let it come closer and his jaw tightened in concentration, his brows furrowed as he tried his hardest not to move a single muscle. It was just so hard! The rabbit started to lean closer, its nose coming toward his and Fen breathed in the feral rabbit smell, his lips starting to curl back in a smile. Would it know that was a smile and not a "I'm going to eat you" snarl? He heard her telling him to let the rabbit know he won't hurt it and he glanced at rabbit, speaking in a low whisper as if that would make him seem more harmless.
"PST, HEY, I WON'T HURT YOU SO DON'T RUN AWAY OKAY? WANT TO PLAY?"
Surely it would be able to speak back to him, right? He gave the rabbit a play bow, hoping that would entice it. He wanted to move apace and he wasn't so good at this whole patience thing.
