Once they were on solid ground, the lass seemed to hunker down, stuttering all the while. He offered a soft smile and lowered himself down to her level, knowing how frightening it could be to have another tower over you. Slowly he closed the distance between the two of them and leaned forward; gently starting to lap at her fur, cleaning the water from her pelt if she didn't move. They were strangers but she hit a spot in his heart that he couldn't ignore, she looked so small and he just wanted to help. Continuing to lap at her fur if she hadn't moved, he listened to her speak. My name is Kane, and I won't do you any harm his lyrics were low, deep and soft, sort of a protective manner. She reminded him of his sister just slightly but not enough to see her that way. Of course they were complete strangers aside from saving her from drowning and giving out their names to each other. What made you come here to the river? he spoke in between laps at her fur, starting on her back and moving towards her neck The moment made him think back to when he and Mai were with their parents, they'd tried throwing her in the river and in turn he lept after her with no hesitation at all. She was his sister after all. When he had rescued her, that had started her over analyzing, her fear of most things and her kindness towards others. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride towards his twin sister and in that moment she wondered where she was and what she was doing in Blossom now. He returned his focus to Murina, the pretty femme fatal he'd rescued from the river. We could definitely work on your footing sometime if we end up as friends |
