(428) He is so lost and dorky and confused its unbelievable.[/html]
Eclipse seemed oblivious to her own words, and he at least was thankful for that, now knowing that she did not really know why he freaked over what she had said. It relieved some of the guilt he had, but he was still pressed with embarrassment at his own self. He could have handled the situation better than he had, but he was caught off guard, and could not think of anything to say or do besides to get emotional. He was glad to have the excuse to be pardoned from her presence if for a couple of moments to shift, to allow to get his thoughts in order. But, even after he was done changing, he still felt as awkward as ever.
The man gave a half-smile in return as she disappeared into the bushes, and he supposed it was good that she was shifting into lupus form too... or at least that was what he assumed. She mentioned that she could hunt on four legs, and with him being in this form, she would do the same as well. He had sat down on his haunches, prepared to wait a couple of minutes like she had with him, but he was surprised when it only took a few moments until she returned.
Robert only managed to hide his look of disbelief this time as Eclipse came from behind the trees and bushes, still on two legs, and only wearing her bow and arrows. Ultimately, he was unsure and confused, though there was embarrassment and other emotions mixed in. First, he told him to take his cloths off, which was somewhat understandable after he figured out what she meant. Then, when she had expected to do the same, she only took off what cloths she had, and did not even shift. Like before, when he came across her in the woods, he made a point not to look at her, and took the chance to stare at the ground, all the while his face getting hot under his fur.
"Okay," he said, nearly squeaking, and began to sniff around the air, only to scent fresh blood. Puzzled and now more serious, he pointed his nose towards the ground, and it only took him a second to realize where the smell was coming from. "Miss Eclipse, you're hurt." He did not notice it before, but her foot was wrapped in cloth, which was now stained in red. He looked up to meet her gaze, not needing to say words to show that he wanted an explanation, and soon.
