Antykk accepted her statement before pulling her in, thick arms wrapping around her tiny body. Terra felt near engulfed by it, swallowed by his larger form. It was safe and warm, and Terra nuzzled into him before he stepped back, chuckling again. Terra whined in confusion, not understanding. He hugged her, then moved away, but they had just met. His movements jumped from that of a long time friend to a near stranger, both which could be truth in Terra's discerning eyes. She had deep connections with strangers, and shattered strangers with old friends, now forever lost to her. Unless someone came from her birth pack, which she doubted. What she'd accomplished was unusual in the highest level.
Terra looked up at his face, eyes sparkling brightly. Why are you like this? You're a stranger one minute, a close friend the next. Which one are you? His behavior was such a conflict to her small mind as she stepped back, posed to flee if necessary. She already had one crazy friend, and that was hard enough to handle, never knowing when Belle might snap and turn violent. If he was another one, she couldn't accept him. Her wildness just wouldn't allow it.
