Moonspear Wipe-Out

The girl continued to break and mend her heart at once with her sweet smiles and soft voice. She lay still as the girl clambered onto her back, pulling at her hair to get her into place. It did not take her long, because she was above a determined little thing. Pyx lingered on the ground a moment, wanting to be sure she was balanced. 

She felt Korei's tail whisk over her fur, and was happy at least that she was enjoying this rather than feeling pained and frightened. Perhaps the leaves were kicking in some, which was also a relief. Before she could warn the Princess of her attempt to stand, though, her gentle voice came out and though Pyx couldn't see her face she could picture the grin on her lips. A smile broke over the red woman's face, an elated and silly thing as her skin flushed under her fur with pleasure at the delightful compliment.

"That's very sweet of you to say so, Korei. I think you're already very nice too, so you must be on a good start." She chuckled a little, the smile still in place. "I'm going to stand up now, okay? If you feel scared or anything, just say so. I won't let you fall." Slowly, slowly, Pyx gathered herself and began to rise. She took care to do it level and equally, balanced. She focused on the weight of the girl on her back, ready for even the slightest shift. She stood at full height and paused for a minute. "Ready to go?" She asked, glancing over her shoulder in an attempt to see Korei's expression.
