Firefly Ravine A walking ball of anxiety

the squeaks the man made amused her and reminded her of her own. She was sure though to lick his whole face, which took a little longer thanks to her small puppy tongue. She quickly lost interest in his eye, leaving the weird thing alone for now, and wanted to move on to his nose when mum called out. Chusi couldn't understand the words she was speaking, but her tone said enough. She froze, a frown settling on her little girly face. 

With a whimper, she let herself slip off the face of her new friend and fall right on her bum. It didn't hurt, not really, but she made a crying noise nonetheless. She didn't want to go back in the dark, she wanted to stay with her friend. So instead of turning around to go to her mum, she scampered up and around the lying body of Zephyr to hide behind him.
