its ok, she isn't giving you much to go with :D I promise she'll relax a little (eventually...)
<blockquote>The small girl relaxed at his joke caught in her ear. She really was being stupid. Wolves didn't eat wolves...well not decent wolves anyway... She rolled back, over, still crouching low to the ground the occasional shudder still wracking her frame. Of course he smelled of loner, so why had the ridiculous thoughts of trespassing cross her mind. The tip of her tail gave a small wag under her stomach in relief as she tried to get her breathing under control.
<b>"I don't like this place. There aren't enough trees. At least down here it almost feels like I'm somewhere safe..."</b> she admitted almost childishly. Lack of trees was no excuse not to like a place but it was all she needed. She wanted to feel the embrace of the dense forest on the other side, but it was still so far away. <b>"I've been trying to get across all day but I just can't. It's too far. Someone will see me and attack me and then... and then..."</b> she almost sobbed, but she didn't want to burden this stranger with all of her pent up insecurity. Before her sister had left her she was fine, convinced she would find her beloved brother soon, but she had been wrong and they were probably together now, laughing about their silly little sister.
From her lowered position she caught sight of his leg. It looked painful. A small whimper escaped her throat as she slowly raised herself up. Here she was complaining about a lack of trees and he only had three good legs. How on earth did he manage to hunt at all? She found that now she was sitting the meadow didn't nearly seem so scary as it had in her mind. Nothing was going to drop from the sky and carry her off, and even if it did, she now realised she would have more than enough warning. She could see the sky for miles. Finally her shivering ceased but she still maintained a submissive posture, her ears pinned back to her skull. She was never one to demand respect. <b>"My name is Aniu, but most just call me Ani. I've lost my brother and sister. I don't know where they've gone..."</b> she admitted finally. The entire purpose of her visit here.
Her rear shifted a little to allow her tail to uncurl itself. She was growing more confident with every passing minute now he had said he wasn't going to eat her, it was almost like watching a flower unfurl as her ears crept forward and her entire posture relaxed. Her tail thumped on the ground with a small wag. <b>"What happened to your leg?"</b> she asked openly with a quiet voice, not stopping to think her question may be rude. It was amazing what a little friendly company could do.</blockquote>
