Lost Creek Hollow If you've changed your mind

Maybe some part of her realized she had approached it wrong to start, as she slowly shifted further from her previous anxiety towards something more uncertain. Her ears folded back slightly as she reached out to touch her nose to the underside of his jaw, leaving it there a moment. We'll see. It was quietly said. It seemed like every time she wasn't dead-set on her decisions she ended up showing submission to him.

Treason had her priorities but she'd hope that Terance knew his daughter well enough that those would be the likely outcomes. There wasn't anything she could do about it right now. All she knew was that in the case of even worse events, part of her job would be to protect her own offspring and she would do so, no limits.  But hey, she didn't expect someone who was probably more like Seabreeze than Terance to cause any trouble that couldn't be easily thwarted. Ibis would have to be especially diabolical. 

She looked back down to the badger. Back to Terance, though still somewhat subdued, Are you going to join me? She would rather go back to complimenting his hunting prowess -- that was far less complicated and actually something she could do now.
