Horizon Ridge You need it so believe it

An attempt at departing had been made, but the result was not the one that she had desired the most. Rather than heading off on his own, the male had followed, being led deeper into the woods in the process. Each increase in her speed was met, the tail she'd acquired impossible to lose. Her focus had been so heavily linked to an escape that once he'd chuffed, she'd been caught off guard. Slightly, she'd jumped, her shoulders jolting upwards in a clear display of her surprise. Towards him her gaze had been pulled—primarily out of habit—and then over his physique had it roamed. She could recognize his behavior as being playful, but never before had she truly partaken in such an activity. Her childhood had been full of various lessons and teachings from the tribe's elders so that she would be better prepared for the future and her purpose in life. Still, she'd observed the displays when they'd been made by those too young to start being taught, and therefore had a slight understanding of the expected response.

Asterr had come to a stop by now, turning to observe the male, but otherwise making no move to join him. Her brows had furrowed, wondering if she even could play, before deciding to give it a shot. While a part of her mind insisted that she keep moving, the childhood that she'd never properly experienced had taken the reins of the situation. Shifting, she'd lowered her own frontal half, mimicking his demeanor but knowing not where to go from there.
