The words that came out of the female’s mouth were like the bite of a serpent. Leland visibly recoiled from the sting, laying his ears flat against his head and averting his eyes. Although he, of course, had had unpleasant encounters in the past, this was the first time his friendly nature had been met with such hostility in these lands. It was also the first time that a female had displayed such displeasure at his friendly flirting. He never met anything by it and the hurt was evident in his face and body language. "I’m sorry miss. I was just out taking a walk. I mean no harm, honestly." Leland took a few steps back, ready to retreat if this female seemed so uncomfortable with his presence. Something sunk in his stomach, as Leland was unable to figure out what he had done wrong.
