Kildeer Rest i need a girl like you

saarthal had been expecting silence so when the unfamiliar chuff pierced the grey silence, she started. aaand promptly tripped over some dent in the ground, stumbling and reeling as she struggled to regain the balance she never had in first place. when her footing finally returned, she allowed her gaze to settle on the girl. the girl. a girl? right after she'd complained about the nonexistence of girls? could this be real? this better be real. she had no time for hallucinations, especially pretty hallucinations, noo, that would derail her journey terribly. she had no time for that but... "Holyyy shit," she breathed out, kind of giddy from not falling over in front of some random cutie. "that was close, you scared me, you literally just — " she gestured wildly at the grass, then actually looked at the stranger, looked her right in her fiery orange eyes.

and promptly swallowed her words, nearly tripping over some nonexistent hole in the ground again. yep. saarthal was done. her dignity was gone. it'd vanished into that nonexistent hole. she'd tripped twice in the span of like three seconds? in front of a cute stranger? asdfghjkl

but, because saarthal was never one to think too deeply, really, in these situations (she tended to forget anything embarassing that had happened in about a minute or so, generally (though not before mentally freaking out about it for thirty seconds)), a lopsided, roguish grin adorned her lips, " — you distracted me," she finished, with a cant of her head and a swish of her tail. "in a good way."
