Silvertip Mountain Complications

Steady seemed happy to wait for her to think about his proposal for a little bit before making a decision. Ryuu was beginning to feel more comfortable around him and a little less shy. He was easy to talk to and extremely friendly. She liked that he wasn't hostile towards her what so ever and seemed okay with her shy nature. He explained that he didn't want her to feel pressured to go and to keep him in mind if she decided to. "O-Of course!" She exclaimed with a wag of her tail. "I'm not sure anyone else would like to come.... and you are the first to have offered.... I wouldn't want to let you down." But that was only partially true. Chaska came to mind. He probably would have taken up the offer as well. Giving Steady a quick glance over, she wasn't sure Chaska would be as strong as this male though. Ryuu felt she would be safer with Steady. But she felt bad thinking that way. It wasn't fair to Chaska who had helped her remove the black thing that had been around her neck. 

When she had thanked him, Steady welcomed her and offered them to hang out when he wasn't being her patient. Ryuu hadn't expected that. She was stunned for a moment. "Oh-uh... um..." She turned her gaze from him, her ears warm. "I would ... like that." It was the first time anyone had said they wanted to hang out with her. Maybe she would finally get a close friend in the pack. She considered Chaska a friend, but she didn't see him often and so she didn't consider them to be very close. 

She didn't want to seem too eager, but she wanted to ask Steady if he wouldn't mind looking for more herbs with her in a few days. Her eyes turned to her front paws as she gathered her courage to ask. "Would you..." she bit her lip slightly, wondering if maybe he had something in mind that he wanted to do too. "Could we.. meet up again in a-a few days?" There she said it. Ryuu took a breath, her gaze rising to land on Steady's shoulder.  She wanted to see his reaction, but she also didn't want to if he rejected her.
