Cerulean Cape hey-- i was doing just fine before i met you

When Engel still did not notice her, the shadow's first reaction was irritation. Quickly, though, a slightly devious idea came to her.
She slid from her position on the ground and swept around in a wide arc, taking care not to alert him to her presence as she moved to approach him from behind. The Messeda girl lowered herself to the ground and crept closer quietly, taking slow steps at first but picking up her pace to catch up with him after a few moments. Her movements were silent, tiny paws barely disturbing the sand below her as she drew nearer.
Then, when she was certain she was near enough, Tine launched herself straight for Engel's back. She had no intentions of hurting him, and aimed to keep her weight off of him should they crash to the ground together-- though, she doubted it would matter much. Samaantine was tiny, even more so than smaller-than-average Engel.
