The first sharp word that slipped past her lips, even without him understanding it, drew Hadley further into himself. He pulled back slightly, drawing his body down. He should have watched where he was going more carefully. It was rude to offend her so. He might have even splashed mud on her. Hadley flinched slightly as she reached out, tension only slightly eased as he was pulled to his feet. He closed his eyes, ears flattened to his skull as the mud from his face was brushed away. Not satisfied with just that she kept going until his fur was once again relatively clean.
He nodded his head softly at the apology, pausing before shaking his head. N-not your fault. He was the one who should have been paying attention. Of course she wanted to lay out and soak in the sun on such a nice day. It was only natural. It was horrible that he'd interrupted it in such a horrendous way. Hadley. His voice was soft and quiet, the deeper rumblings that came from him subdued by the gentle spirit inside. Shyly his eyes flicked up to see soft blue ones before they dropped to the ground again. Whether or not he had helped fight in the raid Hadley was still a very submissive creature.
