His hues turned from her as he received her compliments, but hers never shied. Auburn ears flicked ever so slightly in response to his little display of -- was it shyness? Her fingers sought together, adding a light pressure to their embrace. She should have taken advantage of the opportunities that had presented themselves over the years. She feared it was too late. Her smile remained where it was -- meant to soothe whatever unease remained when he found the will to look back to her. To live in the presence was difficult. Perhaps that was why she had never done so. The wind of change would be lovely.
The man mentioned his steed, and she recalled her own thoughts of acquiring one of the handy creatures. She knew how to tend her petite pets, but a larger animal would pose a challenge. Coyote ears perked as he continued, for his voice would not wait for light footed thoughts to cease to move. The lines presented on her face turned softer still, and there was a glimpse of pearly white teeth behind her smiling lips as she chose her words. ”I’ve.. been wanting to ask you if I could spend some time with you and Maschine, get to know the two of you better.” The Lykoi’s orbs suddenly dropped.
It was not often the girl was touched by shyness, but it did occur now and then. She had not been a good friend to this man, and while he had not made a breath of complaint, she wanted to start making amends sooner rather than later. And she had to learn to relax in the presence of his animal. He had once expressed the opportunity for her to ride his tattooed horse, and perhaps the offer was still valid.
