Hoshor Plains R&R

She flinched again at his loud apology, and felt as if she was going to be perpetually surprised around him. Not even her blatant refusal to be more than his friend appeared enough to phase him. He still smiled and went on as if everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal even. In Mitanni's eyes, it was anything but. He was friendly, she could give him that, but friendliness aside he was possibly one of the most confusing wolves she'd met in this region.

Best friend? Her amber eyes closed and the black and brown wolf released another heavy sigh. She'd had him all wrong. He wasn't looking to make her his mate or anything, he wanted a friend. I should have seen that coming. It all made sense now, at least kind of. His over-exuberance. His friendliness, his odd quirks. He'd finally found company and he was very obviously determined to keep that company around as long as he could.

"I was just wandering," Mitanni answered honestly, still wary and guarded though she felt she had a better understanding of the strange male now. "I like to wander, and this plain was close by." She thought a second about introducing herself, but decided to hold off. She was still too nervous to give away anything personal yet.
