(337) This is Robert.[/html]
She rolled her eyes, as if she had expected him to know what to do once they were out here. He raised one eyebrow right back at her, still confused and unsure what she was up to. Maybe she expected him to just go off into the bushes and start looking for prey, he thought. He could perhaps sneak off back to his house, and ditch the whole mess altogether--
"What?" he repeated after she spoke, though his voice suddenly went up a few pitches and his tone was of one of disbelief. His stare was one of equal shock, and his mouth remained open as if he had more to say. But, nothing came out, and he just stood there for a moment as if he was processing what she had said. "...What?" Finally, as he analyzed what she had said for a few good moments, it occurred to him to have some other reaction other than shock. He grabbed at his sleeves of his shirt as if he expected it to fly off.
A few seconds later, though they seemed to go by way too agonizingly slowly, he realized, or at least hope, what she meant. He looked away hurriedly, even turning his whole body so that his back faced her, and murmured, "Oh. Y-yes, I see." Now he really wanted to go back home, and forget that this even happened. She could have at least said something that had a less chance of being... misinterpreted. Like, you should shift, or, go change into lupus form. She could have said so many things but that.
Feeling guilty and ashamed that he thought of her words as something else, his face feeling heated, he disappeared quickly into the trees without looking back at Eclipse. Minutes started to past, and a lean, somewhat short wolf stepped out where Robert had entered. Even in his four legs, he was sheepish, and avoided to look at her, as if he found the sky and trees around them more interesting.
