Red was glad when Fang’s laughter joined her own. It made her feel less awkward. The forest now seemed much less scary and she wouldn’t mind if they stayed for a while longer yet. The foxes could do whatever they wanted for all she cared. When he looked at her after they were done with their giggling fit, she felt herself melting on the inside. His golden eyes were staring into hers, and they were gorgeous. He had never looked at her that way before — at least, not that she knew of.
”Red, I really want to know… something — anything about you. Tell me something.”
Aaaaand her good feelings came crashing back down to the forest floor. Of course he wanted to know something about her. And it wasn’t as though she minded sharing. It was just that… there was nothing to share. She didn’t remember anything about herself outside of her time in the Teekon Wilds. Nothing at all. Not a wisp or a speck of information. So what would she say to him?
Red sighed, looking down, her ears going back against her head. I don’t… know what to tell you. I’m an amnesiac. Who you see now is who I’ve been for as long as I can remember, which hasn’t been for much longer than a few months. I woke up one day at Duck Lake in Rising Sun Valley with no memory of who or where I was before. I can’t tell you anything else.
She kept her head down after this. It was the first time she had ever admitted to anyone that she had amnesia. She wondered how he would take it. Would he give her pity? She didn’t want it if he did. She just wanted to lead as normal a life as she could.
Sighing again, she awaited his response.
